"Greetings Aethyl, I am Rajit, firstborn son of Rajanan, son of Rajanna, son of Rajankanya, son of Rajakumar, son of Rajendran, son of Rajeshwar, son of Rajeshram, son of Sank, son of Sanu, son of Seif, son of Param, son of Daruk, son of Havih the Offering, son of Wattan, son of Rajika the Disobedient, Spear of Shezazi of Sundel. You are a pretty man and you speak pretty words (there is no mockery in this, only honest observation).
"All nature is sacred to me and mine. Your people choose well though. There is much beauty, dominance and ferocity in the wolf."
"I travel much although almost exclusively in my homeland. I have been sent far from home seeking three Elunians who are, it is said, fair to look upon and who excite comment where the go. I believe I have found them. Where is the third and who is your other friend?"
He continues carving as the conversation progresses.

I count off fifteen generations, with Rajit being the sixteenth. I lift a brow and sip at my mead. Lineage must be important to this one.
And a Spear of the Shezazi? (Made it by 10!)
The Sundel druids, priests of Alaxton and Abrexa in conjuction, and the preeminent among their kind?
I am impressed. This Rajit has come far, and under holy auspices...

"Your people have long memories, and beautiful names. We too have long memories, though we do not name our sires so far back.
"You have have found us, Rajit of many sires. My Cousin, Mairwyn of the Academy you see, and Drusinicus, champion of Nirrion. And the third, our Cousin, Cian son of Rian, you do not see. He strayed into darkness, and fell."

I incline my head toward them as I am named, and I glance at Drusinicus to see if he will join the others.

"For you and your cousin Mairwyn (he makes eye contact and nods at her) I am sorry. However even darkness and death are part of the All. Still, that does not ease our hearts from the loss of kin."
"Greetings to you Mairwyn and Drusinicus. May I approach your table and sit so that we may talk. I think we have much to discuss."

Aethyl nods, and gestures toward their table.
"By all means. Our table is open to you. May we get you more food and drink?"

"Please sit." I rise and gesture to the empty fourth place. "As my Cousin Aethyl has said to you, I am Mairwyn, Mariness of Galadrin. Greetings to you, Spear of the Shezazi. What brings the eyes of the druids upon us? For we have been traveling long and lonely since the sun was lost." My limpid blue gaze is fixed on the face of this lovely Rajit.

Raji sits, calmly takes a few moments making eye contact with each person, curious and taking his time in assessing them before beginning.
"I have been tasked by our most holy druids to seek you out and join you in finding the sun. Her absence causes daily the loss of all we hold dear. Vegetation rots under this curious black frost, small prey starve, noble predators as well. The beauty of the land fades and will die."
There is a hitch in his voice on the last word and he lowers his head momentarily.
"As the firstborn of my father Rajanan and for the sake of all my ancestors and kinsmen and the land that we love so much, I ask that you let me join you."
His head comes up and now there is fire in his black eyes "I will find the sun. Either seeing her with these eyes or finding her in the path beyond the gate of death. This I swear on the names of Rajanan, Rajanna, Rajankanya, Rajakumar, Rajendran, Rajeshwar, Rajeshram, Sank, Sanu, Seif, Param, Daruk, Havih, Wattan, and Rajika the Disobedient."
"Will you have me?"

"Yes," I say. "I will not look at the gift of Abrexa and Alaxton and turn him away. Welcome, Rajit, firstborn son of Rajanan, Spear of the Shezazi."

Aethyl nods. "There is fire in your words, Rajit of Many Sires. May that fire find its true source, and see it rising again in the East. Well met, and welcome!"

"You know of our Way" he says seeming a bit surprised. "I thank you for your quick acceptance beautiful one. And you?" he says looking at Drusinicus and Aethyl.
[how long does it take to finish the carving?]

"Many thanks. You will find me loyal and true to you as long as you are respecters of the All. Such that I am and have, you shall have." He somewhat abruptly goes back to carving apparently feeling the conversation over.

Depends on how much time you want to spend on it.

[he'll work on it and fashion it taking cues from his new Elunian companions if there is any way to capture something of their culture in it]

Their wolves are big, but other than that, a wolf is a wolf.
