Background: Chasind Wilder

Chasind Wilder

The Chasind are a barbarian folk that live to the south of
Ferelden in the Korcari Wilds. While they did unite on several
occasions with the Avvar and the Alamarri to fight against the
Tevinter Imperium, Fereldans have stronger memories of the
many times the Chasind surged north into their land. It is said
that ages ago the Chasind conquered the Alamarri, the ancestors
of the modern-day Fereldans, until the latter rose up in
rebellion. Later the legendary witch Flemeth led an army of
Chasind into Ferelden 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 Wild) lived amongst the Chasind well into
the Dragon Age).

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