Wolves of Maldeen by Nicolas Logue
Not long ago, a young hero—a mere boy by the standards of most—proved that youth and inexperience mattered less than courage and a willingness to stand when no one else would. The young Maldeen created a legend at the age of fourteen, but didn’t stop there. Only after another 60 years did he retire, leaving behind a legacy built on protecting the innocent and stamping out evil wherever it was found. Now the Wolves of Maldeen live to preserve the code of honor this man left behind. Members of the organization roam the land—often in groups called Packs—sniffing out evil where they can. Members of the Wolves are noble and pure, and they seek justice above all. Find out if your character has what it takes to join the Wolves, and the cunning it takes to survive.
See it now! (1.2 Mbs PDF)
Those who seek to emulate Maldeen must have the discipline to walk his path, which might lead them into conflict with others. However, since conflict is a part of life, a follower of Maldeen readily deals with it—whether through force of arms or force of words.

You were ninja'd earlier, but to re-iterate my original comment, I liked it. Well done Nick!
This was the second article I was looking forward to in this month's Dragon (the first being Rodney's Class Acts) and I have to say I liked them both. :)

Oops! I scrolled down a little on the 4e board and didn't notice.
I'm actually just getting up and almost out the door to go to work, so I haven't read this yet. But this is the first 4e article I've printed; I'd like to read it before I get home tonight.
I have a 40-minute bus ride to work and back, so I'll have something to look over today. (Voyage of the Dawn Treader will have to wait a little longer.)

No worries, it had been nearly pushed off the board when I went looking to make a link. It'll help more people check it out, which is a good thing! :)

Thanks gents! Glad you dug on it! I had fun with that piece! Especially the Seven Stratagems part. Cookies to anyone who can tell me what I was referencing there.

"So one stone in the water can destroy an army, and the ripples of one act can spell a thousand defeats."
"Show the enemy the opposite of truth...."
Both of those quotes have a very Sun Tzu feel to them.

Word! I am also tapping some Kong Ming! He's not as well known, but just as badass as Sun Tzu! Plus, he's from the Three Kingdoms period! My personal favorite period of Chinese history!
COOKIES FOR YOU!

Darn... I was going to go with You, Me, and Dupree: "I'm throwing seven different kinds of smoke!"
Nice article, too. (Though, I'm opposed to a tactic of feigning surrender to gain an advantage... if I'm reading that part of the story right. But then again... we're talking about Orcs here.)
I immediately began thinking of ways to use it. There are so many possibilities. I saw the chance for abuse of power and resources, for a misguided zealot to take on the "wrong evil," for misinformation spreading through the organization from within, and, of course, for donning a wolf's head helmet and striking fear to the vile evil doers of the world. Um, campaign setting.
