Material
Stackable
Long grey-and-russet pelt with the guard hairs still oiled, stitched edges clean enough to suggest the skinner knew the animal by reputation. Heavier on one shoulder where the winter coat thickened.
Entry
Chronicle
Taken off the grey wolves that work the upland passes in winter, by hunters who do not advertise their methods and do not answer follow-up questions. Tanners along the river road bid on the better pelts in sealed envelopes, and the worst of them end up as saddle blankets for couriers who have opinions about quiet travel. A full pelt trims into one coat, two hoods, and a small bag of scraps the apothecaries will buy without asking where it came from.
