The Wold Folk Culture and Look

Emblem: The Teal Hand of the Wold

Culture: Inspired by the Celtic and Germanic tribes that inhabited much of Western Europe, the Wold Folk have a strong connection to their homeland, which is reflected 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).

Equipment: ***Please note: Unlike other factions, the Wold Folk has minimum garb requirements and is allowed a much smaller selection of armor and weapons. All members of the Wold Folk must have the required items***

Their colors are unlike any other faction. The Wold Folk are distinguished by the wearing of plaid wool garments and accessories, and their large shields. For other garments, they wear Tan, Brown, and Grey linen with the emblem of the Hand in Teal paint (Details on colors in sections below). If they wear armor, it is Germanic-style sleeveless chainmail or Lorica Hamata. They also wear round bronze or leather chest pieces and Leather or bronze bracers and greaves. They wear Celtic/Germanic-style helmets.

For weapons, they must choose either the melee or archer class.

Players who choose the melee class are limited to swords/axes that can be wielded in one hand and large rectangular scutum or elongated hexagonal shields.
