The Wulfing

The Wulfing are a tribal band controlling Kamp Oya. Descendants of Scandnavian immigrants to nearby Little Norway, they have become post apocalyptic vikings. Extolling the appearances and attitudes of their long ago ancestors, the Wulfing are fierce, hardy and seafaring. Today, the Wulfing wage a vicious war with the Blooded, seeking to end their savage injustices through honorable combat.

Background
Before the Great War, the Puget Sound was home to a thriving expat community of Scandinavian immigrants who had fled the devastation of Europe's Resource Wars. The town, called Little Norway, due to its primarily Norwegian residents, had people of all Scandinavian descent.

When the bombs fell, Little Norway was ravaged and flooded. The survivors relocated to nearby Bainbridge Island, taking refuge and then taking in the few who had survived on the island themselves. Setting up their main haven on the water, the group hunkered down. But as the years passed, the Island, which had been renamed Kamp Oya (Battle Isle in English), became wilder. Trees grew back faster than anywhere else, but came as wild, knotted things, changed by radiation. The creeks on the island brought clean water, but the shores of the sound near Kamp Oya became blacker and more filled with irradiated beasts than elsewhere. So on Kamp Oya, with its rush of black forest and sweeping fog, the descendants of Little Norway changed too. When the society of the old world faded away, the people of Kamp Oya became the Wulfing, taking on a reflection of their viking ancestors. As the ashes of civilization in the Cascade Wasteland turned into sparks, the Wulfing remained who they had become, keeping to Kamp Oya mostly, and turning to the water to wage war, hunt and plunder.

Practices
Living a hard, dangerous life on the island has led to the Wulfing becoming a hard, dangerous people. Combat skills and hunting prowess are valued above all, and every member of the clan is trained to fight from an early age. Wulfing fighters are tough and favor melee weapons and close range firearms like shotguns. The Wulfing forge their own axes, which have become their ubiquitous symbol of war. Clan hunters favor crossbows and knives to augment their stealth.

The Wulfing also have an affinity for Grognak the Barbarian, and have turned him into a folk hero. Members of the tribe will pay handsomely for preserved Grognak comics.
