Wooden Traditions

by Aonghas of the Grove

It has been many, many years since the Wood Man's influence last touched the realm. Now, his hand grows small, barely able to grant his generous boons to his followers as he once did. The forests are no longer watered as often by his rains, and are cut down by our hand more often than should be.

There are still some, however, that still follow his traditions. I am one of such people. Let it be known that we practice not witchcraft, nor any such dark art, but simply follow the rules laid before us by those who were our ancestors. Would you not do the same?

In ages past, the followers of the Wood Man lived by these rules:

1.) Protect your pack. The Enemy is always there.

2.) Always finish the hunt, whether through success or failure.

3.) Hunt not that which does not know the hunt.

4.) Listen to the song of the wilds, for it cries the truth.

5.) You must never halt the Wild Hunt.
