The Wolfskins
The Wolfskins are heirs to a long tradition in The Battanian Confederacy lands wherein great warriors went "wildling" for part of their youth, learning the ways of the woods and how to suffer hardship. So long as a Wolfskin wears no sewn clothes, eats no cooked food, and sleeps under no roof, they are immune from the laws of man.
The wolfskins are ardent followers of The Lady Cynthia, Goddess of the Hunt. They believe that the closer to nature you get, the more strength they can draw from the woods around them, and the more of Cynthia's favor they garner. They are woodland hunters without equal, and members of their clan are often hired to help others traverse the Wyldwood, in exchange for goods that they can use as sacrifices to their goddess. They are also known to hunt people equally as beasts, and so if you are not with them, you may find yourself against them. Nature does not discriminate in it's choice of prey, and neither do they.
In fact, the modern wolfskins tend to be the sons and daughters of wealthy families who have chosen to embrace their feral side rather than take part in courtly intrigue and politics. They are frequently found robbing travellers and living viciously and not following the laws of the land. Many nobles may brand them simple bandits, but those who travel the Wyldwood know them to be much more, and whisper that they are granted great magical gifts from their Fey patron.
