History[]
Campaign Two: The Mighty Nein[]
During the Harvest Close Festival in Zadash, the Mighty Nein fought a pair of winter wolves in their second round of the Victory Pit tournament.[4]
When the Mighty Nein asked Dagen Underthorn about creatures they might encounter on the island of Foren in Eiselcross, he mentioned creatures whose description closely matches winter wolves, mutated by the magic of Eiselcross, and he told of one particularly feared wolf among them called Ol' Demarog.[5]
