Tvefolk

Tvefolk are a loose group of people living in and around Carpathia, particularly the south-eastern peninsula and its surrounding isles, consisting of Children of Wol and Laochran in roughly equal measure. Tvefolk originally came from The Úr-Isles, and what has since become known as The Boglands. When Balogh the Cleaver manifested himself in Aesterhaaf, the great storms which followed effectively isolated the northern settlers from The Midlands, and the Hrafnir would not cross down into Carpathia for hundreds of years.

It was this isolation, coupled with the harsh living conditions of Carpathia, that led the Laochran and Wolish settlers to form close bonds with one another, and eventually grow to become a single, unified culture. Only very recently have they had any contact with the outside world, due to the increased trade between Hrafnir and Midlanders demanding further expansion of Carpathian settlements.

Lifestyle
Tvefolk have no clans, but rather consider themselves a single people. Generally, every town or village is free to rule itself, but at the tops sits the high chieftain, as elected by the local chieftains at The Moot. Every four cycles, a moot is held just as with the southern Laochran, which only involves Tvefolk.

Tvefolk have developed certain traditions foreign to the outside world. Particularly, they are the only people to still keep úr-boars, a rare species of boar which can otherwise only be found in The Úr-Isles. These boars serve as both pets, livestock, and even mounts. Tvefolk often form lifelong bonds with their úr-boars, made possible by the beasts' great lifespan compared to regular animals.

In addition to townfolk and villagers, a large part of the Tvefolk population live in small, nomadic hunting parties. These groups will choose their chieftains and attend the Moot just as any of the villages, but generally do not own any given plot of land. The reason for this choice of lifestyle is often to avoid dangerous Wild Things, as the Carpathian Forest extends down into the Carpathian Peninsula. Generally, mainlanders are nomadic, and islanders are settled.
