Pack Ironshear is a small farming pack in North Central Nightriver, bordering the Great Wolf’s Hackles and near but not bordering the pass. The large swaths of clear land with bright green grass make the area perfect for raising sheep. As such, wool and mutton are their main exports.
Ironshear Ulven are renowned for their peacefulness, but their nearness to the Pass has forced them to take up arms in recent years.

Founding
Pack Ironshear is very old. It has been around as long as anyone can remember. While the facts of its founding are not known, there are legends.
The story goes that on one of the Great Wolf’s hunts, he butchered four sheep, and gave the hides to Gaia. Gaia wove the wool into pure white cloaks, and magic into each of them. She gifted one cloak to each of four Ulven families. The first cloak granted the first family great resolve and patience. The second granted great strength. The third great agility. The fourth cloak granted the skill of weaving.
The four families became known as Járnúll, Rammrúll, Hraðrúll, and Vefaúll.
Járnúll was distinguished from the others by their calm temperament and slow, calculating movement. Rammrúll was distinguished by their hotheadedness and strength. Hraðrúll by their lean bodies and quick movement. Vefaúll was distinguished by their deft hands and finely woven clothes.
They soon formed a pack, and being chosen by the Great Wolf, their pack grew until it became the head of a large clan. It was a prosperous time
There is no legend about the fall of Pack Ironshear. There is no evidence backing up this legend save for four Ironshear families named Járnúll, Rammrúll, Hraðrúll, and Vefaúll.
