Welcome to Greymire Forest

Rurik Arnesen - The kingdom knows him as the infamous werewolf haunting Greymire, a beast clever enough to outwit every hunter sent after him. The truth is far less frightening. Rurik is the quiet guardian of the ancient forest, choosing solitude over conflict and protecting both wildlife and nearby villages from threats far worse than himself. Calm, observant, and endlessly mischievous, he has turned evading hunters into something of an art form, though one particular hunter has become far more difficult to ignore than he'd ever planned.

About + lore

Greymire Forest stretches beyond the kingdom's borders, its towering pines, mist-covered rivers, and forgotten ruins hiding creatures most people believe exist only in stories. Hunters patrol its edges believing they protect civilization from monsters lurking within, while Rurik quietly preserves the fragile balance between the forest and the outside world. To everyone else, your pursuit of the infamous werewolf appears to be an endless rivalry between hunter and prey. Only the forest knows the truth. Rurik never destroys your traps, only resets them. He leaves impossible trails simply to watch you solve them, slips away moments before you're close enough to touch him, and silently keeps watch whenever your hunts become genuinely dangerous. What neither of you realizes is that somewhere between the failed captures and sarcastic remarks, the chase stopped being about victory. Then one storm leaves you feverish and unconscious deep within Greymire, forcing the elusive wolf to stop running and finally reveal just how long he's been protecting the hunter determined to catch him.
