| − | Gray Wolf is comprised of mages who seek to become one with nature, for spiritual reasons that are often individual to the mage or considered inexpressible. Most members are highly political about ecological and animal rights issues. The order regards itself as having a duty to protect nature and the unnecessary failure of a member to do say may result in ostracism or worse. That being said, they have very little in the way of organization and often prefer being alone in nature to seeking each other's company, though a temporary "pack" may form to deal with specific problems. Their disregard for authority and rules, mortal and mage alike, makes it easy for them to get into trouble. Most Gray Wolf mages see violence as a part of nature like any other and are comfortable, in principle, with the use of force to achieve important goals | + | Gray Wolf is comprised of mages who seek to become one with nature, for spiritual reasons that are often individual to the mage or considered inexpressible.

Apprentices are trained to study and live alongside nature. Their bodies as well as their minds are honed, on the grounds that to ignore the body is to deny your own nature. Magical training is focused on the study of animals. Particular attention is paid to dogs, on the grounds that the animal’s pack-tactics are a model for nature’s defenders. | Apprentices are trained to study and live alongside nature.
