History

Wolvtti clans have always had troubled history to maintain a union or cohesive pack hierarchy. Like their cousins, wolves, they stick as family units and their packs are formed of parents, grandparents and their children. The entire Pohjanmaa has been split into multiple packs that had existed for generations until they were merged through marriage or subjugated through war by other stronger packs. Despite these inner circle struggles, the Wolfetti have fought under the same banner against outside threats together as allies. Such examples are of border disputes with other clans or invasions of greater threats from the North.

The Wolfetti had had multiple unification wars where the strongest Chiefs had tried to bring unity to all the Wolfetti in the county of Pohjanmaa. Many of said wars had come to an inconclusive end and with destruction of families and as a failure to unite the packs into a proper clan.

It wasn't until a capable Warrior and a leader raised through the Wolfetti ranks and able to unify all Wolfetti under one banner and became the true Alpha of the Wolfetti Clan, High Chief of Pohjanmaa. The wolfetti clan is often split between the southern and the northern clan for it takes only a strong and a wise wolfetti to bring both sides of the land together.

The Wolfetti Clan is known to have conquered all of Kalevala and formed the Kingdom of Kalevala which lasted for a brief period until the title and the unity of the clans was destroyed by the actions of the Bear Clan, leaving the land split into five existing petty kingdoms.

Origin

Sofontti were uplifted by Dragons. Uplifted by Louhitar, the Mother of Wolf kind, and a dragon of the Northern lands, the Wolfetti act as a Shield to both North and to the South.

Society

Culture

Wolvtti live in Kalevala, which is a heavily isolated country of wetlands and forests with many Sofontti clans; they have technologically achieved the Late Iron Age. Inherently they seek to improve their own technology whenever possible through trade and discovery but due to harsh conditions of the land they live, majority of their time and energy goes into survival. Wolfetti, like many Sofontti clans are farmers and hunter-gatherers.

Magic

Wolvtti are not permitted by their gods, Louhitar, Ukko, Tapio to practice foreign arcana. At most, they will dabble in Animism, Mysticism, or Ensorcelling. Very rarely are there Animists with Gramarye, or Shaman who borrow the power of a dragon, leading a life of spiritual service. Galdr, foreign Glamour, Pacts, and Dominion are forbidden by sacred law and seen as evil, while Poetics used by the living are seen as anathema. Causing a ruckus with magic will rapidly earn the ire of Kalevalan gods--Dragons who will send their minions to hunt those who violate these sacred laws.

Language

Wolvtti speak Sofonic, which is a phonetic language that incorporates actual words, animal vocalizations varying upon the race of the Sofontti who is speaking, and body language. This is seen as the most complicated of languages across the entire world as each regional dialect varies significantly between the various clades of Sofontti.

When written, Sofonic is a runic language of glyphs, often with jagged and claw-like markings etched by claws. OOCly Finnish is used to represent Sofonic, and non-verbal information may be written in *italics*.
