ULARAH TONG | WOLF GUILD

[_RoyalCrafter_ 5285]

 

 

“The Moon never sets on the Maehr, their wolves never stop howling.”

 

The Ularah Tong, or Wolf Guild, is a martial and cultural guild created in the city of Nor’Velyth by members of the ancient dark elven clans. Following a gap of power created by the lack of military presence, traditionally the Silan’siol, the Tong aims to restore a martial presence within the Moonlit Realm by creating an order with strong discipline and respect for the old ways of the Maehr.

PATH OF Z'RESS:

The Path of Z’ress is the belief that strength is the domain of the Maehr while weakness is the domain of lesser elves and races, with strength being defined as skills and competency, not necessarily raw might or brute force. And weakness, as being a lack of character or faith.

 

The Tong mandates everyone to walk the path of Z’ress and trains its members in martial and beast-taming skills. Those of weak will and character will be expelled from the guild.

 

PATRONS:

KHEL THE ZEALOT
Patron Ancestor of the Zealot, Warriors, Wrath, and Fury

 

HAU’NER THE HUNTER
Patron Ancestor of Hunters, Farmers, Beast Tamers, and Tenacity

 

WYTALL THE WARSAGE

TRIALS

The Patron Trial
To ensure that the Maehr remain true to their roots, the Ularah Tong requires its new members to make a pledge or oath to one of the three Patrons of the Guild and complete a trial relevant to their patron. Upon completing all of this, they receive the mark of their patron.

 

 

For those ker who cannot identify by the three main ancestral patrons, special exceptions may be made if they wish to follow another ancestor. Maehr who do not venerate the ancestors are not allowed to join.

Wolf Bite Trial

To be a regular member of the Tong, one must survive the full-strength bite of a direwolf. If they do so, the affected areas will be tattooed around to remind of the bite, once the wounds heal over. This initial trial is performed to weed out the weak-willed.

 

Head Hunting Trial
A member of the Ularah Tong is given a mission to retrieve the head of an enemy of the maehr by themselves. This trial serves to illustrate their competency and skills as a wolf rider.

 

Code of Conduct:

Loyalty: Members of the Ularah Tong shall always prioritize the interests and of Maehr kind as a whole, ensuring the Maehr are protected. Betrayal of the organization or its secrets is a grave offence.

 

Wolves: If a member of the Tong acts unduly towards their direwolf, such as improper care or abuse, they are to be expelled.

 

Discretion: Members of the Ularah Tong shall keep the details of their missions on a need-to-know basis.

 

Ancestors: The Ancestors must be given utmost respect, any who fail to do so are punished. 

 

Fellowship: Ularah Tong members shall treat each other with respect and loyalty. 

 

Hierarchy: The Ularah Tong operates with a structured hierarchy. Members are expected to follow the orders of their superiors and contribute to the organization's goals without question.

 

Path of Z’ress: Those who are complacent and do not progress on the path of Z’ress have no place within the Tong.

Ul’Udax - Wolf Lord

The head of the martial group is the Ul’Udax, they hold the highest authority in all functions of the guild, and more importantly, they best follow and understand the path of Z’ress, and use this understanding to maintain order and strength of the members of the Ularah Tong.

 

Ul’utral - Wolf Warden

Elite wolf riders, second only to the Ul’udax are bestowed the rank of Wolf Warden. They are capable of patrolling the umbral forests in their squads and have a great bond with their wolf mounts, akin to that of siblings.

 

The Ul’utral are given cloaks and furs of dire wolves to proudly wear. This symbolises both their connection to their companion, as well as their ferociousness.

 

 

Udax’ye - Wolfling

Once the recruit has survived the first trial, they may begin to train their wolf, starting from a cub to build a strong bond. Together, the two will walk the path of Z’ress together.

 

Warriors of the Ularah Tong are given shawls made of spider silk, to differentiate them from the recruits. These shawls are secured by leather bands, studded with Kingstone.

 

 

Lokae’yr - Walker

Conscripts or brand-new recruits are called Walkers since they are not given a dire wolf mount immediately upon joining the guild. Instead, they have to learn the proper code of conduct of the Tong and survive the first trial to become a true member.

 

The Walkers do not gain anything beyond the right to mark themselves with their Patron’s mark.
