Brudur (broo-dur)

Introduction

The nomadic Manfolk of Caligus.

Temporary Lore

Comfortable wandering the haunted forests of Tol-Adur, teh Brudur are a nomadic people that live closely alongside the forest's beasts.

But no beast remains as important to the Brudur as the Bru, sentient boars that live as equals in the Brudur camps.

Brudur of Adurvech

The Brudur consider themselves the true natives of Tol-Adur, living amongst it’s ancient trees for as long as their stories can tell. They often find themselves at direct odds with the growing Umbre Kingdom.

As a people, the Brudur have little interest in hiding behind stone walls and constructing fortified cities. They have little trouble surviving the great forests alongside their animal companions and do not see why this should change.
