Editing The Wolf (section)

==Abilities and Art==
The centerpiece of a path used throughout North America, the wolf is an incredibly strong Other. Many of the common tricks in a Finder's arsenal don't effect it.<ref>A ball bonked off of the side of the Wolf’s head.<br>[...]<br>“Do you know how many Finders have crossed my path?  How many had that as one of the first things they learned?  It has never once counted,” the Wolf said. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/03/30 Excerpt] from [[One After Another 10.a]]</ref> It is among those exceptionally significant Lost that have been [[Architect Theory|suggested as Architects of the Paths]], although this is considered unlikely by modern Finders.<ref>''The text Procession into Dream suggests a system of key individuals every Finder will meet in the course of a sufficiently long career, with the dreaded Wolf being the first.  This structural theory suggests that the Dreaming Realm is itself defined by these figures and that the management and system of honors is ultimately shaped by these ‘architects’.  This is the most succinct explanation this author can put forward to address a theory that has been written on hundreds of times, with ever evolving depth.  However, despite the varied writings on the topic, the Architect theory fails one of our most vital tests.  When more information is gathered and more research done into the idea, the answers become more varied and fractured, instead of narrowing to a point.  Even the authors of Procession aren’t sure of the specifics: how many architects are there?  Why have some not met certain architects?  Why have no architects alluded to this power?  What would it serve them?  What of those who don’t begin on the Forest Ribbon Trail?  Answers to these questions by Architect theorists inevitably create more questions. -'' [[List of Books#Whim and Vigor|Whim and Vigor]], [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/12/14/left-in-the-dust-16-2/ quoted] in [[Left in the Dust 16.2]]</ref><ref>The Architect theory suggests that certain prominent Others act as pillars of the Paths and may be the originators of it, but each theorist maintains their own lists and Hazel seems to do the same.  While the theory has been debunked, we do know there are certain Others who take on a certain prominence and tend to revolve around Finders.  The Wolf, the Page of Suns, Jacques, and the Queen of Ends, among others. [...] When discussing the Architect theory of the Paths and the variations on that theory, the Page of Suns often appears. [...] The Page of Suns appears on as many lists of Architects as the Wolf.  - [[List of Books#100%20Years%20Lost|''100 Years Lost'']], excerpted in [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/12/25/spoilers-16-3-100y/ 16.4 Bonus: 100 Years Lost]</ref>

The Wolf displays an uncanny, detailed knowledge of those it encounters. It has immense physical strength, regardless of form. It displayed knowledge of the inner workings of the [[The Station Promenade]]'s mechanics beyond any human present, and the ability to break the Station's rules regarding timing and movement.{{Cite}} The Wolf is capable of providing passage to Finders to different locations as part of a bargain.<ref>At the end of the Path, the Wolf waits.  You will find yourself talking to it.  If you do not step from the Path and take the detour, then you should negotiate with it.  Negotiate to be deposited at your destination, with everything you need, and postpone its time with you.  Tell it that it is to take you back here once you’ve run your errand. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/07/04/stolen-away-2-8/ excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.8]]</ref>

The Wolf is aware of the [[Forest Ribbon Trail#Detour|Forest Ribbon Trail detour]], but unable to act on that knowledge unless told about it.<ref>“She may have a means of escaping your ‘fun’,” Nicolette said.  “I don’t know what I can do about that, but I was told it was at two o’clock.”

The Wolf turned, looking at one specific part of her clearing.

“Does this get me my revenge?”

“I knew this, because others have escaped this way, but now that I’ve been told, I can do something about it when the time comes.  I’ll need your assistance.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/07/11/stolen-away-2-z/ excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.z]]</ref>
