Editing Space Wolves (section)

=== Recruitment ===

The basic way the Space Wolves make more of themselves is when their [[Wolf Priest]]s mingle with and challenge the champions of the peoples of Fenris to talent scout for the best of them to take back to their fortress monastery The Fang for more trials, ending in the aspirants being implanted with the Space Wolves' gene-seed by drinking from the Cup of [[Wulfen]] and then undergoing the Test of Morkai - the aspirant is dropped off alone far away from The Fang with minimal clothing and equipment and has to brave the unforgiving and cold environment filled with monsters to make it back and be accepted as a Space Wolf after which they'll receive the remainder of the [[Space Marine]] enhancements. Some aspirants as this point will turn into [[Wulfen]] and go feral, becoming another living danger to the aspirants.

Befitting the Space Wolves' [[Viking]] Marines schtick, other Space Wolves aspirants are chosen by instead being quasi-taken to Valhalla while in the throes of a particularly impressive, heroic, and imminent death which causes a [[Wolf Priest]] who saw him decide to save their life and take the individual for induction at The Fang and the chance to become quasi-einherjar.

As the Space Wolves' selection process looks for people who have more proven themselves in some way instead of the usual method of getting your candidates and weeding them out in subsequent trials, the Space Wolves are distinct for their recruits potentially actually having have their balls drop before they become Space Wolves.
