Default Talking Wolves for a Dark Fantasy Campaign

I was inspired by this thread to share High Wolves, a PC race for a fantasy campaign:

High-Wolf (20)
The legends are true. In the mountains and forests of the Northlands there are packs of wolves as intelligent as men. One local legend claims that a Shaman gave the wolves the gift of intelligence as a reward for some long forgotten service. But don't let the wolves hear you repeating this story. In their own stories, which they might share with you in their unsettling growling voices, they have been here since the creation of the world.
