The '''Grand Annulus''' is a location in [[The Fang]], the [[Fortress-Monastery]] of the [[Space Wolves]] on the world of [[Fenris]]. At the centre of the Hall of the Great Wolf atop the Fang, it is a representation of the organization of the [[Chapter]]. Each outer segment is a separately carved stone inscribed with the runes of the [[Wolf Lord]] it represents. During feasts in the Fang, it is tradition for the Wolf Lords and their [[Wolf Guard]]s to be seated within the area of the hall indicated by their "name-stone". The central rune, bearing the sign of the "Wolf that Stalks Between the Stars", indicates the position of the [[Great Wolf]]. The stone is rotated to show which of the Wolf Lords currently holds the coveted rank. As the Wolf Lords die their name-stones are removed from the Hall and taken to the '''Grove of Heroes''', where they circle the oldest name-stone of all, that of [[Leman Russ (Primarch)|Leman Russ]] himself.{{Fn|1}}
