About the Wanderers

Bond animals- we bond with all sorts of animals. Tigers, horses, wolves, bears, birds...whatever.

Blood- We have the blood of cats in our veins due to when the healer High One took the blood of a cat and willed it into his daughter's blood rendering her mortal.

death fights- when two elves have a serious problem with eachother they fight it out to the death. If you lose but the winner doesn't kill you, it's considered shameful and you are better off dead. It's common in Wanderers. To kill someone without declaring deathfight is considered murder. You will either be cast out or killed if you kill without declaring deathfight. Cubs aren't allowed to participate in deathfight.

death song- this is when we honour our dead. We sing for them and if they died in war we swear to avenge them or meet them in the palace.

fires- when one of ours dies we burn the body. Usually we dance around the body singing death song and dancing for them.

war- Wanderers like war. We fight to death. War is as common for the Wanderers as it is for the Go-Backs.

Go-Backs- Sometimes we go to the frozen north to see our cousins. We help eachother in wars and battles. Several cubs in both tribes are half Wanderer and half Go-Back.

Magic- We use magic to our best advantage. Like our hard-hearted cousins, we don't hold much with healers. If we have one in camp, her/his powers are only used if it's between life or death. A healers powers are NEVER used if the fallen wishes it otherwise. A fallen warrior may wish to die fighting.

death- the best way for a Wanderer to die is sword in hand, foes at your feet, and on your terms.

soul sibs- soul siblings are soul brothers, soul sisters and on occasion brother-sister soul sibs. (thanks to Brightfire who helped me come up with that idea)
