Wolves at Curious Pastimes

The Dire Wolves

The Dire Wolves are a semi-Nomadic tribe from the south of Norsca. The group is predomidently Beastial in nature and appearance, with Beastmen, Ogres and Lizardmen filling their ranks. Some humans are found, but this is a rarity. Other races are accepted, although still uncommon.

The Dire Wolves are a proud and noble group who's history dates back generations. The Dire are a quiet group who, historically, rarely toiled in other peoples disputes. However, a swarm attack on one of the Dire Wolf trade caravans, in the locality of the Forest of Frieg caused the death of many, including the previous Warleader, Gul Rathbone. The Dire Wolf new Warleader, and Gul's son, Dirran was rushed into power and swore to avenge the death of his father, with that he took a warband to the Renewal of Magic, to aid in any possible way. He was joined in this expedition by his fathers friend, and mentor, Sirok Nugarr, a lizardman. Dire Wolf numbers are still low, but they are growing with each passing week, and they are becoming more well known, something which unsettles some of the Leading Elder Dire...

The Dire Wolves at Invasion


The Dire Wolves

Leader of the Dire Wolves, Dirran Rathbone.

The Warleader of the Dire Wolves, Dirran of the Rathbone Clan, son of Gul, is a strong and competant Ogre fighter originating from the Nomadic main town. Dirran knows all too well the troubles that plague his home town and hopes to forge new alliances with new found friends. Thoughts plague Dirran as to his successor, with no offspring he knows should he fall the end of his clan is certain.

2 ic of the Dire Wolves, and Head Alchemist, Sirok Nugaur.

The Dire Wolf second in Command, Sirok is a Lizardman from the Norn Swamps, in the East of Dire Wolf Lands. Sirok is an alchemist, a low level Mage, and now an archer, and serves as the diplomatic face for the group. He departed the Norn Swamps with the Warband, to guide Dirran, although the outside world has opened his eyes, and he is enjoying interacting with all the new races and cultures, learning and researching, and becoming increasingly involved with Trade with all the peoples of the world.

Ogre 'Eavy fighter, KnokLock

Leaving the protection of Wolf Lands, along with his friend Gore, sat well with KnokLock; he revelled in the chance to knock heads in new lands! Heavily armed and heavily protected, KnokLock is one of the Dire's strongest arms. His motives for joining the warband, beyond the combat opportunities, are not completed known; what is known is that he seeks an item of power, but little beyond this...

Beastman Ranger, Gore

Journeying with KnokLock, Gore ventured to Albion with the warband. His lack of experience was soon overcome by the people and events that unfolded, and his skills aided the Dire greatly. He hopes to continue his journey with the Dire in the future, for mutual profit.

Goblin forager, Runt

The newest addition to the group, Runt the Goblin has never ventured beyond the Dire Wolf lands, and is refreshingly new to everything in the outside world, looking at it with almost childlike eyes. He certainly had his share of action at Ernessmar, culminating in a run for survival, as the ancient city fell into the bowels of the land.
