Par ailleurs, Chaosium a annoncé aussi qu'ils récupéraient les droits de Pendragon, qu'ils avaient laissés en 2010 à Nocturnal Media, la compagnie de Stewart Wieck (1968-2017).
Le frère de Stewart, Steve Wieck, raconte un petit mythe sur les liens entre Chaosium (compagnie historiquement liée à Moorcock et Elric) et White Wolf (la compagnie des Wieck dont le nom vient aussi d'un surnom d'Elric). :
"There’s a story behind this story. In the early 1990’s, the staff of Chaosium were celebrating with a feast at Mader’s Restaurant in Milwaukee after a successful Gen Con. At the table next to them, the White Wolf staff also feasted on haunches of meat and steins of beer.
My brother Stewart and Mark Rein Hagen, founders of White Wolf, stood and toasted Greg Stafford and the Chaosium crew, “Hail to Chaosium, the pioneers, the seers, the shamans, who ignited the flame of storytelling in our roleplaying hobby”, and the White Wolf table cheered their respect.
Naturally, one cannot possibly out-do Greg Stafford, the creator of Pendragon, in matters of feasting etiquette. Thus Greg rose and toasted back with supreme humility, “We were merely keeping the fire lit through the cold, dark night, for we heard in the distance the howl of the Wolf and knew the Wolf would come to turn the flame to a bonfire.”
Je ne peux lire cela sans imaginer Greg en scalde ironique ou en voyant inspiré de la Völuspá, prophétisant le Temps du Loup (les vargr Sköll & Hati) qui viendra dévorer la Lune et le Soleil.
