A sharp, narrow ridge of stone running roughly east-west across the Celedrim steppe, the Wolfspine takes its name from its profile: seen from a distance, a series of jagged peaks rise in sequence like vertebrae, the dark rock standing out against the pale plains on either side. The highest point reaches no great elevation, but the ridge's sudden verticality in an otherwise featureless landscape makes it the most reliable landmark for travellers crossing the Celedrim interior.

The Wolfspine sits within range of the Impact Craters cluster, and the Zwaeron treat the two features as connected—the ridge, they say, is what the sky-fall broke against on its way to forming the craters, though those who have examined the stone find no particular evidence to support it. The belief persists because it is useful: the Wolfspine marks the approach to the craters for those who need to find them, and the Zwaeron who avoid the craters use it to know when to turn back.
