Wulvers Revisited

This week is another look at the Wulvers, chiefly a couple of ideas to better develop them. There are now effectively two distinct strains of Wulvers; the so-called 'Purebloods' and the wolf in sheep's clothing Wulftouched.

Now available as Pay What You Want; The Frozen Skies Setting Primer

Alyeska.

A frontier land largely at the mercy of the savage Wulvers since the end of the Great Darmonican War, barely enough soldiers left to defend the rump of the Commonwealth's once extensive colonial holdings. With many towns cut off and large swathes of territory overrun by the beasts the safest form of transport is by air, but the breakdown in law and order as given rise to scoundrels like sky pirates and bandits.

Alyeska's frozen skies are increasingly becoming a dangerous place to be.

This primer gives an overview of heart of the Frozen Skies setting; The Continent of Alyeska.

In addition it offers a brief guide to the Commonwealth and its main factions in Alyeska, Wulvers and their stats along with a selection of gear to allow you to start playing in the Frozen Skies setting.
