:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' {{flavor|We should bring backup. Just in case.}}

At Sifhalla Ruins
:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' That's twice you've disappeared on us. What's going on?
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' I, uh... I'm sorry. I just... I've been hearing—
:'''Garm:''' (bark)
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' He just needs to explain...
:'''<Character name>:''' Braham, listen to me. Whatever's been talking to you, it's not what you think—
:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' By the—! Wolf Spirit!
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' I brought them, Great Wolf.
:<small>'''If norn and follower of [[Bear (Spirit of the Wild)|Bear]]:'''</small>
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' Sister Bear has told us many stories of your deeds. Your strength is legendary among norn.
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' You have brought much honor to Bear. To all of us.
::'''<Character name>:''' You honor me with your words, Wolf Spirit.
:<small>'''If norn and follower of Wolf:'''</small>
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' My cub. It has been a long time since you've run with our pack.
::'''<Character name>:''' Great Wolf. I lead my own pack now. But I haven't forgotten you.
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' No. You've brought my spirit with you across this realm. Proven yourself a leader among wolves.
::'''<Character name>:''' You honor me with your words, Wolf Spirit.
:<small>'''If norn and follower of [[Raven (Spirit of the Wild)|Raven]]:'''</small>
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' Brother Raven may be loathe to share his secrets with us, but he cannot help but praise your deeds.
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' You have brought much honor to Raven. To all of us.
::'''<Character name>:''' You honor me with your words, Wolf Spirit.
:<small>'''If norn and follower of [[Snow Leopard (Spirit of the Wild)|Snow Leopard]]:'''</small>
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' Snow Leopard speaks highly of your deeds. You hunt creatures that proved to be beyond even our abilities.
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' You have brought much honor to Snow Leopard. To all of us.
::'''<Character name>:''' You honor me with your words, Wolf Spirit.
:<small>'''Otherwise:'''</small>
::'''Wolf Spirit:''' You do not know me, but I know you. Though you are not norn, your deeds are worthy of their greatest legends.
::<small>'''If sylvari:'''</small>
:::'''<Character name>:''' I am most honored. Thank you.
::<small>'''Otherwise:'''</small>
:::'''<Character name>:''' I'm honored. Thank you.
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' Now. You are all wondering why I've called for you.
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' He has a plan to stop [[Drakkar]] using the lost Spirits of the Wild.
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' Sorry, you probably wanted to say that.
:'''<Character name>:''' But [[Cloudseeker]] was certain—
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' The kodan ignore our voices. They cannot speak to [[Corrupted Ox Spirit|Ox]], [[Corrupted Eagle Spirit|Eagle]], or [[Corrupted Wolverine Spirit|Wolverine]]. But Braham can.
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' Why me?
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' You [[Frozen Out|cracked]] the [[Fang of the Serpent]]. Fate now decrees you will either slay [[Jormag]] or fall to Jormag.
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' All Spirits know this. Even when taken and corrupted. You must go to their shrines. Demand their power.
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' Demand? Will they even listen to me?
:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' No. You'll have to make them.
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' You are a norn of [[prophecy]], but you are not yet true norn. Any can wear the wolf, but only true norn can [[Become the Wolf|become the wolf]].
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' You're saying if I do this, I'll be able to...become the wolf?
:'''Wolf Spirit:''' Take the lost Spirits' power. Use it against Drakkar. Only then will you find a place for my spirit within your own.
:'''Braham Eirsson:'''  Wait—! Damn it.
:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' Wolf trusts you. He believes you can do this. And so do I.
:'''Braham Eirsson:''' Yeah. Okay. Commander, I'll meet you at those shrines. And I'll be ready.
:'''<Character name>:''' I know you will. Jhavi, can you and the kodan [[Defeat Drakkar|put the pressure on Drakkar]]? Keep its eyes off us?
:'''Jhavi Jorasdottir:''' It would be my pleasure.

== My story ==
{{Mystory
| image = Bjora Marches loading screen.jpg
| text = I offered to help the kodan of Still Waters Speaking and found plenty in need throughout the valley. Then Braham got in touch. Turns out the Wolf Spirit has a plan of his own: find the three lost Spirits of the Wild and use their power to destroy Drakkar. I'm on my way to meet Braham at the first shrine now.
