The Wolf Nomads, properly known as the Wegwiur, is a political state of the Flanaess. The name also applies to the tribes of nomadic horsemen who dwell within these lands.

History

Geography

The lands of the Wolf Nomads are situated in the Bitter North region of the Flanaess, north of Perrenland on the far shore of Lake Quag.

People

The native folk of the Wolf Nomads are primarily Baklunish with a great deal of genetic mixture with the Rovers of the Barrens, to the east. As a result of these Flan characteristics, Wolf Nomads have slightly darker complexions than their Tiger Nomad cousins.

Population

Religion

The Wolf Nomads revere the Baklunish deities Geshtai and Istus. From long-ago contact with the Oerids, they revere Telchur and the Black Wolf, their name for Kurell. Ancestor worship is prevalent among them as well.

In Rose Estes' novels, the Wolf Nomads revere a deity they call the Great She Wolf.
