'''The Wolf God''' is a malevolent deity worshipped by [[werewolves]] in the [[Dungeons & Dragons]] setting of [[Ravenloft]]. His worship is concentrated in the domain of Verbrek, which is literally The Werewolf Land of Ravenloft, but his faith is spreading throughout the southwestern Core.

His entire creed is basically that werewolves are the alpha predators of the world and that they should embrace their most savage, twisted, and destructive impulses. Needless to say, he's not a very fun guy.

==Church==
Only werewolves - or the rare madman who wants to become a werewolf - are inclined to worship the Wolf God, and only werewolves can become his clerics. These lycanthropic clerics must follow strict taboos, such as never being tainted by the scent of prey creatures or reveal any wounds they may be carrying. There is no holy text or orthodoxy for the Wolf God; clerics pass on his traditions through vicious, gruesome ordeals. Clerics pray for their spells at sunset, and the Wolf God is worshipped predominantly through the act of hunting, which is considered sacred in and of itself. His clerics engage in strange rites intended to prove their fanaticism and bestow holy visions, with a particular love of sacrificing humans and werebeasts by tearing out their throats and letting them bleed to death. Fitting with the nomadic nature of his faithful, the Wolf God has no temple; instead, werewolves construct crude cairns of stone and bone, decorated with pawprints made with blood.

The Wolf God, as you'd expect of a pretty stereotypical lupine deity, is very focused on the moon; his clerics preach that werewolves should respect and fear the moon, as it holds power over fate. Rituals are tied to the waxing and waning of the moon, and lunar omens are hugely important, with a lunar eclipse being a particularly dire omen.

The Wolf God's priests are typically single-classed, and usually [[adept]]s, although they can also be [[cleric]]s, [[druid]]s or even [[ranger]]s.
