The wolf. Rakurr's followers hunt: the patron's own line is melee damage, haste and critical chance, and its form is a wolf with a wolf pet beside it.
Assembled from the quest rows the archive holds, quoting each Ancient's own words, with the practical notes taken from the class site's board. It is a reading of the archive rather than a walkthrough somebody wrote at the time: no such walkthrough survives for any of the three patrons.
The chain
All three begin at a Shaman trainer at level 15 and cross at least one continent. The three Ancients are Korhal in Lomshir on Qalia, Goroza on an island in Lake Carlsson in the Vault of Heroes on Thestra, and Caelrial Brightshadow in the foothills of Jalen's Crossing on Kojan; whichever one you start with sends you to another.
Follow Rakurr: The Path — from Korhal The Ancient in Lomshir, level 15
Travel to Kojan, and speak to Caelrial Brightshadow in the foothills of Jalen's Crossing.
Korhal says, "The path of Rakurr requires a journey to another land, [your name]." "You must travel to the Kojan Islands, and speak to Caelrial Brightshadow in the foothills of Jalen's Crossing. The journey is long, but I will mark her location on your map to ease the burden." "Good travels [your name]."

Caelrial's smile welcomes you. "So, you wish to join the mighty wolfpack of Rakurr?" "The great wolf does not accept just anyone [your name]. You will have to prove your worth before he will grace you with his blessings." "The way of the wolf is the never-ending hunt. Though you kill, you must never toy with your prey. Kill without hesitation, so that they not suffer." "Travel east to the Blighted Lands, and kill the beasts you find there. Be quick about it, you have thirty minutes."
Follow Rakurr: Tracking The Hunter — from Goroza The Ancient in Vault Of Heroes, level 15
Goroza the Ancient says, "To find your prey is only the beginning. Once located, the kill must be executed swiftly and without mercy." "Search to the south for the Great Shadow Cat, Shissara. Look for the bones of her kills to track her location, but be on guard, [your name]." "Shissara does not like intruders in her hunting grounds, and if you are not careful, you could find yourself being hunted by your own prey. She is a fearsome cat, and defeating her will be a challenge."

What the board knew
The reason your patron quests are bugged is there was a script run to adjust quest levels, and it allowed you to get the quest too soon. Anyone who finishes the quests before level 15 will have to perform an additional step upon reaching level 15 to get your proper spirit walk. Rakurr and Hayatet Shaman, just go visit a Shaman trainer. Tuurgin Shaman will need to visit a trainer and say 'patronfix' to get your Spirit Walk ability after completing the quests and after reaching level 15.
— Elidroth Renato, a Sigil developer, 28 January 2007
Need to collect 4 cockatrice beaks, 4 goat horns, 4 wolf fangs around the lake where you get the patron quest.
— swookz, on the Tuurgin collection step
After dinging 15 and going to Lomshir I picked the Spirit Walk from the trainer. Then I went and found Korhal the Ancient. Then he told me to go to the altar and lay my hands on it. I did that and was ported to HAYATET where I simply finished the quest and was awarded my patron.
