Gospel of the Wolf

The Gospel of the Wolf, or Ēvangelium Lupī, is a story of Silent Vranirist origin that asserts the first mortal being created by Vranir to be wolves, and it details their loyal relation to Vranir as her servants and confidants. To the Nubble Orthodoxists, it is considered a fringe but not disproven theory, so it remains compatible with its foundational tenets and an acceptable orthodox doctrine for individuals who are proponents of the theory.

Gospel
So it is spoken from Silent Vranist Tor n' Ardak Ipops, discovered through Vranirist theology:

In the beginnings of a living world, Vranir reached out her hand and caught a silver droplet fallen from the sky. Shimmering with possibility, shining with potential, it began to morph in her palm before her eyes until its form came to support itself upon four legs with a tail to balance itself, and fur to warm itself. In its two canny eyes, sharp with cunning, she saw a pursuer, a hunter, one who chases and concludes the stories of lives yet born. As if understanding her curious gaze, the wolf opened its jaws to display its armament, sharp and shining teeth, by which method it carries its nature to fruition. But this creature was not one for wanton slaughter, it lived and died for a family, and so it offered the goddess an accord under which the two and more would hunt and act as a singular force. Thus a pack was formed, with Vranir as the first, and the wolf as the second, an arrangement for which the wolf was grateful as it provided for its most basic and instinctual needs.

In due time with the rest of the mortal creatures born and having been benefited from Vranir's tutelage, as Vranir was preparing to set off from the surface world and its affairs, nearly all races took Vranir's wisdom and left with no recompense save for the wolves and humanoids, the peoples for their various reaons, but the wolves for still enduring loyalty. Unlike many lesser beasts that simply lost Vranir's wisdom, the wolves rejected Vranir's wisdom and pursued the nature that had always been innate and followed Vranir and her wishes for the sake of loyalty to the pack, and not for any gift otherwise. On Vranir's excursions back to the mundane world to learn of the current affairs of mortal races, she is always greeted first by the wolves, for after Vranir they were always first.
