Unfortunately that would mean he was not allowed to mate with humans, as that would be beastiality - the Telmori believe they're wolves in human form. The FHQ might be allowed, as she's the incarnation of the Lady of the Wild, but Enent (Eonistaran's mother) would have been illegal if she was human. (We know nothing about her: which is an interesting point in itself!). Possibly Sartar was Illuminated, thus avoiding the geas, and didn't tell the Telmori about Enent. But what happens to all his offspring, all of whom, by Telmori law, are themselves Telmori? I think we're going to have to drop that idea of beastiality, or make an exception for adopted Telmori.
If Sartar did change into wolf form for adoption purposes, did he mate with any lady wolves while he was at it? Could we, for instance, say that Kostajor is of the Sartar blood line? And speaking of Kostajor......
Funnily enough, it is about now that a new Wind Lord appears in Pavis. He is "tall, broad-shouldered, swart, and pale-eyed". Polite but brief towards Lunars and trolls, reserved but helpful towards Orlanthi. "He is said to come from any number of nations, including Sartar, the Holy Country, legendary Ralios, ....", but "he does not speak of his origins". He's devoted to the Sartarite cause, though cautious not to anger the Lunars without need. His name is Krogar Wolf-Helm. Coincidence? Well yes, probably, in all honesty. But this is just too good to miss! I have yet to find any evidence, much less proof, that Krogar Wolf-Helm is not Kostajor Wolf-Champion (other than Greg's objections - oh, well).
What do we have on Krogar's history? He makes an appearance or two in Cults of Prax, along with Garrath Sharpsword, whom he seems to know well. At one point in 1616 he is called by Orlanth to go to Swenstown, and seems glad to go, though we are not told the reason or the outcome. He does not appear in the Cradle scenario (1621) so presumably has left Pavis by then.
More detail of his character is given in "Strangers in Prax", where he seems to have an alynx allied spirit. I'm not sure how this fits in with his wolf links, but it's not impossible.
