==Significant Relationships==
Tarveg
A paragon of her species Tarveg is an imposing grey mountain wolf and Havwarlen's closest friend and companion. The two of them are nearly inseparable, Havwarlen having rescued Tarveg as a pup from Vanir cultists starting a friendship that will last them the rest of their lives. Since then they have shared all their adventures, saving each other's hides multiple times, cementing their friendship. Though they are each capable combatants they are at their strongest when acting together.
Tarveg's pups
As far as Havwarlen is concerned Tarveg's seven pups are the most valuable things in the world. Tarveg went into the wilderness alone and returned with a litter a pups. Havwarlen never saw Tarveg's mate and was unable to track him. Unsure of why Tarveg returned to him rather then stay with her mate, he assisted in raising the pups and teaching them to defend themselves. Though ultimately Havwarlen would never force them to stay with him and their mother and they were let loose into the God Curse Mountains, though not before Havwarlen had named them all.
Hergalt: The largest of the litter, by the time he left he was two and a half hands taller than his mother.
Oslyn: Inherited her mother's temperament and then some, she started many fights and fought ferociously.
Frearg: Always enjoyed howling, she was also the loudest, which annoyed some of the others.
Garsab: Although short, he was thickly muscled giving him a squat stocky appearence. 
Vadsal: She constantly ran off from the pack, chasing down scents,sights and sounds. She was briefly captured by a necromancer where...things happened, we'll leave it at that.
Skasht: Being the smallest overall, he became the most cunning to get his share of the food.
Jorne: She was exceptionally swift, She was the first to leave and return to the wild.
The pups recently rejoined Havwarlen and Tarveg for the upcoming hunt of Fenrir.
Krunk
Havwarlen thinks Krunk lacks cunning and guile but considers him one of his closest friends.He has deep respect for Krunk's immense combat prowess and finds his blunt and simple manner refreshing within the wordy and complex processes of the council chambers. On top of this they have adventured together on many occasions as well as working together as a part of the Terra Turtle, to the point where even Tarveg shows him a degree of friendliness. Havwarlen also feels a measure of debt to Krunk after he retrieved his soul from the Rakshasa.    
Over the past year Havwarlen's friendship with Krunk has only grown, to the point where they have become blood brothers, a big step for Havwarlen as it is rare to swear such oaths outside of his own tribe. Based on what he has seen Havwarlen has become convinced that Krunk might actually be the one person who can unite the mountain tribes. If Krunk chooses to attempt this they will help him at all costs.    
Dargan Drosilan
Initially suspicious of the Goliath, Havwarlen was quickly won over by Dargan's hardiness and charisma. As well as being his friend Havwarlen respected Dargan's capacity to lead and organise both the Terra Turtle and the Athesian armies based in the mountains. He defers to Dargan's judgement in matters of diplomacy and the position of the mountains within Athesia, recognising his own inability to deal with such things. With Dargan taking up residence in the Dark Plains and leaving the Terra Turtle Havwarlen is concerned his priorities will change and he might go soft. Nevertheless Dargan still retains Havwarlen and Tarveg's complete respect.
Merric Thunderlute
As one of the original Terra Turtle members Havwarlen counts Merric as a friend and considers his barkeeping skills as second to none. Havwarlen never really understood magic but appreciates its combat potential in Merric's capable hands . Merric's recent actions and shift to generalship have concerned Havwarlen, as far as he can tell Merric does not seem to be acting entirely in the interests of Athesia or the Mountains. He is content to sit by for now, assuming that if Merric was genuinely becoming a problem, someone more knowledgeable will intervene. Until then Havwarlen tries to keep an eye on the Halfing.
Flint Flagon
As a Feline featured hunter, from a hot flat area Havwarlen sees Flint as something of an opposite and friendly rival. As the only hunter who has equalled, if not surpassed, Havwarlen's skills he has shown him that there are other ways to track and kill prey. 
Salthazar Hu'bar
Salthazar has earned Havwarlens respect and close friendship through his knowledge of animals and in no small part due to the actions of his horse, Rodriguez. Initially put off by his intellectual demeanour Salthazar's impressive milking of a dire goat, and determination to match god curse drinking, proved that the desert general was game for nearly any challenge. A trait that ensured ,whether he liked it or not, Havwarlen will be his friend for a long time.
Arianna/Wilfred/Dwarves in general (They're all the same to him anyway)
When they first met Havwarlen had a respect for the Dwarven druid due to her natural ken with animals and her stubbornness. However after recent events involving Yggdrasil he blames her almost solely for unleashing Fenrir and weakening the prison that contained the Vanir gods. The only other person he blames nearly as much is Wilfred who he sees as a greedy and short sighted individual. The intense hatred has coloured Havwarlen's perceptions of their entire race, as it seems to him that all the recent calamities of the mountain started the same time they moved into the mountains. This hasn't manifested as anything more than harsh words and ignoring council members, it depends entirely upon what happens.
Fenrir
Havwarlen sees the the apocalypse wolf not only as a grave threat to the mountain but also as the ultimate hunting challenge. The last time Havwarlen and Tarveg fought Fenrir they came away with scars to prove it. Havwarlen bears many scars and wounds that refuse to heal fully and Tarveg now permanently bears the scent of the apocalypse wolf. Despite the fact that they were only able fight Fenrir to a draw with the help of the entire council, they are determined to finish the job. Tarveg also seems determined to prove herself against such a huge beast.
The God-Biter
A magical, talking and very angry spear given to him by the council for the purpose of combating Fenrir. Whilst it is an exceptional weapon of incredible craftsmanship the fact it is consecrated in the name of a god (Thor) fills Havwarlen with unease. He has never trusted Gods, preferring to trust in the natural spirits, but the fact that he keeps encountering Thor is giving him pause for thought.
Rodriguez
Some guy Havwarlen found in the desert who is really good at looking after dogs. Havwarlen trusted him to look after the pups so long as they are together. Tarveg seems to like him so as far as Havwarlen is concerned he must be good guy. Also he has the same name as Salthazar's fine horse, another good sign.
==Background==
Born in one of the Lukt it seemed that Havwarlen would be destined to a life defending his people clinging to survival in the harsh mountains. His great change in perspective occurred when during one particularly vicious attack by some duergar he became separated; wandering through the wilderness trying to return his tribe he witnessed something profound. A mother wolf was defending her cub from some vanir cultists, although the she-wolf perished Havwarlen was able to save the cub and escape the cultists. Several days later he came across the same group of cultists’ still hunting wolves however this time they were hunting a pack of wolves, in the resulting fight the cultists were encircled and killed. This demonstration proved to Havwarlen the power of numbers and unity.
Eventually returning to his tribe a few days later he set about trying to employ the lessons he learnt in the wild. Using his new companion he excelled in combat, using this example others were convinced to use group tactics even going as far to acquire companions of their own. With this new strength the Lukt repelled threats that had previously caused great trouble with great ease. Seeing this success Havwarlen sought to take it to the next level, unite the Lukt and cleanse the mountains of the vanir and other dangers. Despite being a mere ranger and lacking diplomatic skill he decided to try anyway. His efforts proved futile, the divisions between the lukt ran too deep to be so easily overcome. Despite countless setbacks Havwarlen continued to press for a great unity.
After several frustrating years and no visible progress Havwarlen was ready to give up and resign himself to just ensuring the survival of the lukt. That was until a message from some King Kiya reached the tribe whilst many members dismissed it as hopeless fantasy Havwarlen was struck by the scale of Kiya's vision. Reasoning that the mountains must be a part of Athesia his plan must entail uniting the Lukt. Seeing an opportunity to fulfil his own and even greater vision he departed for unity isle with his trusted companion Tarveg to lend what aid they could.
