Wylder Wends (ranging order of the Steel Realms)

Steel Realms

The Wylder Wends is one of the oldest order of ranger orders. It was formed by five sword friends in the age of Second Dominion when the realms west of the Tolkisson Range were largely unpopulated and unexplored. These friends were loners, all followers of Gaia and the Wyld, but each knew that the future would see the realms forged in fire and bound by steel – the Steel Realms.

Now it is part of the World Watcher umbrella of orders. Originally they all vowed to watch the area bordering The Valley of Sighs. The two brothers were added to their brotherhood and traveled back and forth between the warring east and Gladnor in the west.

It is said by some that the two Dunstrand brothers of the original Wylder Wends, and their ally Reingol of Nurthland – a nobleman with connections to the nobility of most great houses of the east, and strange seer – knew the horrific fate of the Fallen East. To that end, the brothers were sent to plant the “seed of the east” in a new place – a place which would eventually become the Grand Duchy of Dunstrand after thousands of years. Haegovel Dunstrand vanished into the Nanford Vale in CY 2294, at the age of 57. Aelivel Dunstrand sought his spirit, and eventually found it, killed by the burgeoning Sea-King clans scouting its western boundaries. Aelivel mapped the entire Nanford Vale, and insisted through Reingold that it be renamed to honor his older brother.

The brothers were said to have both been involved in the ritual of “The Serpents Eye” – dedicated to Sisslenn the king of serpents, now forgotten.
