In the Wheel of Time, wolves have a weak association with man. They live partly in
Tel'aran'rhiod, which they call the
wolf dream. They communicate with each other over long distances and can communicate with certain rare individuals called Wolfbrothers. Wolfbrothers, however, cannot directly communicate with each other.
