Champani Wilder

Zebra rogue & warrior background

The Chapmani are a barbarian folk that live to the south of Feralden in the Everfree Wilds. While they did unite on several occasions with the Aggwar and the Alamongri to fight against the Kirinter Imperium, Feraldans have stronger memories of the many times the Chapmani surged north into their land. It is said that ages ago the Chapmani conquered the Alamongri, the ancestors of the modern-day Feraldans, until the latter rose up in rebellion. Later, the legendary witch Flemeth Zecora led an army of Chapmani into Feralden to take vengeance on the bann who had been her husband. While Flemeth is said to have been killed at that time, many claim that she and her daughters (the Witches of the Wilds) lived amongst the Chapmani well into the Dragon Age.

Today, the Chapmani are a more peaceful folk, but there are many superstitions regarding them. They live in houses build on stilts and do some trading with Feraldans living in the south. Some Feraldans still consider the Chapmani a threat and fear the day a charismatic figure will unite them once again.
