Children of Fenrir

Description

Second entry in the Post-Geneslicer Apocalypse (first entry: Heroes of the Reconquista).

The Children of Fenrir are a Nordic wolven people with a range in the extreme north of the Eurasian continent and islands, mostly considered uninhabitable by the other Human species. They have maintained some relatively advanced technological manufacturing abilities, including rudimentary electronics, but their strong instincts render them incapable of pursuing a sedentary lifestyle. They eschew firearms as anything but a last line of defense or a hunting weapon in desperate times, preferring instead to prove their worth to their namesake divine patron by hunting prey and rivals with spears and teeth. They do not possess claws, having retained nails close to the Human standard.

Their social roles closely follow their animal geneslice: an extended family presided over by one patriarch and one matriarch, who each head a rank structure of their gender within the family, based on seniority. A young pack has strictly defined roles based on age and gender, but these tend to be subdivided and sometimes relaxed with the increasing size of the pack. Packs peak at about 50 individuals.

Their hunter-gatherer lifestyle requires them to range across wide areas in search of fuel, game such as elk, as well as other resources such as pre-apocalyptic hardware. The large area required by each pack, combined with their above-Human-average fertility, calls the sustainability of their lifestyle into question. However, as the Gulf Stream peters out, the ice will expand across Eurasia, and their territory will increase. Time will tell how their society will deal with its inevitable resource shortage - and with the far more organized societies in the more civilized areas of the world.
