Factions

The peoples and factions of Mistfall Hunter, from those who share the camp of Windrest to those you fight in the mist.

Faction	Who they are
Gyldhunters	Those who can no longer die in a broken world. Guided by Dew, they hunt the Corroded and gather Gyldenblod.
Mistchasers	Scouts who study the Mistfall. They read their Messenger Bugs to gauge its distance, scale and speed, and warn survivors. Led at Windrest by Stinger.
Velgr	A tribe of sorcerers from the Velgr Isles, west of the Sea of Lament, who revere Loghva as pure primal energy. Their soul experiments created Soul Jars, Soul Cocoons, the Eeryls and the Soulgnawer.
Woodlings	Root nodules of Yggdrasil that absorbed enough magic to come alive in the Age of the Stars. Pip, Twig, Baldur and Fern are Woodlings, and Woodlings also carry Gyldhunters out of the maps: see Extraction.
Seers	Followers of the goddess Mysti who heal with divine arts. They were expelled from Brandrgarde when the Velgr arrived. See Seer.
Blasphemers	Mysti followers who, receiving no answer from the goddess, turned to profane rituals and draw power from blasphemy.
Withered Knights	Knights on a path of exile and atonement. Not all keep their sanity and faith. See Withered Knight.
Wulfen family	The military nobility of Norgard, marked by the silver wolf fur on their boots. Brandr and Harald belong to it.
The three High Priests	The Preacher of the Sun, the Prayer of the Moon and the Observer of the Stars, who led the faith of Brandrgarde.
Lizardfolk	Kin of the dragon race. The Blackscale Lizardfolk followed the Black Dragon Kalan into the Abyss and now raid Brandrgarde.
The Corroded	Living beings overcome by Gyldening. Most calm down when the mist clears; some never rest. See the Bestiary.
Strawers	Not living beings but products of the rituals of the Northern priests, awakened by the Gyldenmist.
Sea Giants	Devotees of the Outer Gods with ice-blue eyes. They scattered after their leader Hastain was slain.
Dmitrheim	A southern land that does not worship Kjernnos, home of the Shadowstrix Inn and its assassins. Cazarro and Dago came from there.
The Northern Expedition	A southern army (the Rose Knights and the Black Iris among them) that marched on Norgard with its Pontiff, who vanished on the night the Corroded attacked.
