Sable can mean either constancy or grief, and vert can also mean either loyalty or hope; some sources attribute hardship or difficulties encountered to the raguly pattern. Thus a dual meaning is intentional and can be read as both “Consistency through hardship earns loyalty” and “Though difficulty grief can become hope”. Argent was chosen to convey serenity and the sanguine accents to mean “patience in battle”, which is why the color is confined to the claws, teeth, tongue, and eyes of the wolf; thus the rampant wolf to dexter is intended as the calm and patient hunter.<ref>[https://forums.trmn.org/viewtopic.php?f=744&t=19825 Grant of Arms to the Baron | Sable can mean either constancy or grief, and vert can also mean either loyalty or hope; some sources attribute hardship or difficulties encountered to the raguly pattern.

The Barony of Wolf Point borders the Crown Preserve of the Olympus Mountain range on the planet [https://honorverse.fandom.com/wiki/Gryphon Gryphon]. It is closest to the second-highest peak in the range, which firmly sets it in the Gryphon Highlands. The peaks within the barony borders are called the ‘5 Wolves’, this means 22% of the barony's land area falls above the treeline. Non-natives and non-Genies may need the assistance of oxygen or may take a few days to acclimate to the altitude. Due to the geography of the barony being on the windward side of the Olympus range, there are only ~85 sunny days with no cloud cover. The rest of the Gryphon year it is cloaked with varying degrees of cloud cover up to and including days of zero visibility fog. | The Barony of Wolf Point borders the Crown Preserve of the Olympus Mountain range on the planet [https://honorverse.fandom.com/wiki/Gryphon Gryphon].
