Wold Folk

Inspired by the Celtic and German tribes that inhabited much of Western Europe, the Wold Folk have a strong connection to their homeland. At one with their land, their vast forested hills stretch for leagues and they know each tree and stone.

History of the Wold Folk

The forest has its secrets and the Wold Folk know each one. For ages the Wold Folk have dwelled deep in the forests on the northern border of Olaran. The Wold Folk are descendants of a disbanded army, granted the land for their services to an early king of Olaran. They still carry the ancient large shields of an older age, heirlooms of their military heritage. The Wold Folk have remained quiet in their woodland halls for generations, but now war has spilled into their lands as the armies of Olaran and the Kingdom of Throi contest their border - a border that includes the Wold Folk forests.

While Wold Folk warbands have not ventured into Olaran’s recent wars, their greatest warriors often join other armies to gain skill and reputation as warband leaders. Chieftain Rollo Brennus has now returned from just such a service to lead the tribe in this hour of battle.

The Wold Folk Culture and Look

Emblem: The Teal Hand of the Wold

Culture: Inspired by the Celtic and German tribes that inhabited much of Western Europe, the Wold Folk have a strong connection to their homeland and that is displayed in their culture and aesthetic. They have been formed as a people by the land: vast forested hills stretch for leagues and they know each tree and stone. What they lack in armor they make up for with their ferocity and teamwork in battle. Their warriors, called “Wold Raiders,” are equipped for lightning attacks in the forest and excel at harrying the enemy’s flank.

The Wold Folk faction is open to both combatant and non-combatant players.

However all combatant players MUST have the required equipment (healers do not need weapons or armor).
