Starting leaderboard:
Fascinating generational mix here. We’ve got five Rav kids, plus a Vaulting Ambition kid (roughly age peers). We also have four Rav grandkids (three Karasu kids, as well as Armitage, son of Kavik Frostfang). On the extreme other end, we have Petrichor, son of Advesperascit, which makes him Armitage’s great-great-great-half-uncle.
Threat assessment: Of the wolves on the leaderboard, I’m most concerned about Amalthea. She first caught my attention at the beginning of July, when she and Skoll were tied; you can see how that turned out. She’s also Armitage’s age, unlike nearly everyone else.
The three biggest threats aren’t yet on the board. They are:
- Fenrir (1736 @ 3y1m), played by Jun/Tawnwen, son of Stahlhast/Penelope
- Nova (1723 @ 2y4.5m), played by Rhallwyn, son of Stahlhast/Rhallwyn
- FrostWalker (1413 @ 3y1m), played by Mavric
All three are willing to consume indefinite amounts of guarana in pursuit of leaderboard glory and will assuredly rocket past Armitage by event’s end. Rhallwyn and Penelope were Reinhardt’s rivals a generation ago (and guarana’d past him too). FrostWalker is the latest Mavric special (affectionate).
Notes:
- The cutoff is Skoll, who was #10 on the pre-cata board.
- Asterisks denote wolves who were inactive (not on the board) before the event started. This is a projection of who will roll and may not be accurate.
- Stats and ages were recorded on 7/31 shortly before rollover.
