iCore iCore™ Path Details

Wyldings are dwellers in the outdoors and revel in acting as raw and primitive, as much in the ways of the beasts and their social organizations as possible. They take from the class of Warriors seek to meld with the raw nature of The Pattern – many seeking through the power of the veneration of the power of primeval chaos. The wylding way is that of the beast, or to seek the depths of elemental rage – the wind, sand, storm, wave and sun that rips the flesh of those who stand in its path. Civilization is a fool’s construct as it will always vanish, wyldings were meant to take their place as apex predators. Manners, tradition, culture all will be scoured away, they are transient and unimportant compared to what nature provides to survive and thrive. Reasonableness and courtship, politics and towers – wylding power takes what it wants regardless of civilized constructs. Fight, fuck and feast, live in the moment with your tribe or pack. Howl, snort, fling yourself about in revelry, dance and celebrate movement, living, the goings and comings of animals and elements.
