Lords of the Wild

Among the most feared denizens of the Rukkenvahl forest are the dakkenweyr - the Beast Lords. They walk upright, but they hate the races of men, and they have power over all the beasts of the land. These creatures display an alarming intelligence, and they decorate themselves with river mud, clay, and occasionally blood.
Dakkenweyr share features in common with many dangerous beasts, such as bears, wolves and wolverines, suggesting their kinship to all. It is said that dakkenweyr are relics of a vanished age, before any beast had bowed its head to humanity. They dwell in wild, untamed places, far from the centers of human habitation. Hunters and tanners claim to know when they have trespassed into a dakkenweyr's territory by judging the aggressiveness and intelligence of local animals. Large predators that dwell within a dakkenweyr's territory are uncharacteristically hostile toward intruders.
