"Come brothers, and sisters, join me by this fire."
Name: Free Folk of Connlaoth
Location: "Home"(Located in Matron's Hallow, Connlaoth)
Who may join: Anyone!
Leader: Torri ClarthPurpose: The Free Folk are the wayward sons and daughters of Connlaoth. The ones that cannot find their place within the cities of Reajh and Uthlyn, and instead made one. They are the thieves, the underdogs, the heathens and the nobles exiled. No matter the cut of their cloth, they are all welcomed home.
Location in depth:
Home is made out of the trappings of an old castle, or at least most of it. The thick stone walls cover a good breadth of land. It was once used for military purposes, and had gone too long abandoned. Whatever people that cannot fit within the walls have thick hide tents set up on the outskirts. Around Home, powerful magic is laid down to create an illusion to keep outsiders away but it wavers in the face of Mordecai.
But how does one find Home? By the word of another, and another; from whispers of spiders, and easy breaths of a lark. The old castle may seem empty at first, but if one says "Take me home" while touching a stone dragon at the pillars of the gate, all will be seen.
Population: A couple hundred.
General InfoThe People The Free Folk are a hardy sort, living of the harsh cold lands of Connlaoth. Tough conditions breed tough people, and they are more than proof of it. And proud of it. There is a certain honour within the free folk, even amongst ex-thieves or current thieves(They dare not steal from their own), that guide them on how to live their lives. They do not trust the craven, and those that go back on their word. It makes them have ambivalent feelings towards taken in fleeing folk, and not those simply looking for a place to rest their weary bones.
Religions The Free Folk have a wide variety of religions and ways of worship, that can differ or be similar to Angarism in Connlaoth. Or even
be Angarism, but a far more laxer take. There are however, frequent arguments among the peoples that often end up mediated to prevent all out animosity.
Magic There is magic. And they fear the Mordecai, and even soldiers are treated with wary glances and hushed voices, until they prove their honour. Home acts as a haven for mages trying to escape their lives and prosecution, and is an active member in smuggling magic users to outside countries such as Adela and Serendipity. But it is not without caution. Connlaothian ways are still ripe in Home and its free folk; the fear, and the known danger it can pose. However, they feel it is foolish to turn away a healer or any other magic that might benefit them as a whole. Including how they hide themselves. What keeps Home a myth is the strong illusion magic that is charmed around the area.
Gender, Sexuality & Race Home's people holds much of the same views as the rest of Connlaoth, only you won't get killed for not adhering to the common.
Government They have a leader, but they are unlike the sovereigns of many of countries. They are more akin to a good friend or counsellor; one goes to for advice, and looks to in times of need. But they are no king or queen, or Grand Duke. In a sense the Free Folk rule themselves, so long as they don't harm one of their own.
Military They have no true militia. Everyone is trained to fight to defend, whether it be hostile outsiders or betrayers in their midst. There are few military trained deserters in their group who lend their knowledge.
Clothing They wear whatever they can get, and often their wardrobe consists of fur and leather, and whatever they can buy or steal from traders that come the long way through Matron's Hallow.
Food Sheep, Cattle, Chickens, and what they can grow in the soil around the garrison.
