Alongside the factions, were the displaced Valleyfolk - the Dispersed.

Valleyfolk who had no place to call their home, either unwanted within the settlements, banished or born wandering. They lead their lives, knowing each day could be their last without the protection of the factions. 

A Dispersed Valleyfolk carry their own morals and their own code, and are thus intrinsically unique from one another. However, it is key to note that while likeminded individuals may travel together, the larger the group, the larger the risk of earning the attention of other factions who may discourage such behaviour and seek to chase off or cull such groups before they impose a risk/threat.

Within the limitations of the game, no group of dispersed Valleyfolk may exceed 6 individuals (pups included). Groups of dispersed Valleyfolk cannot form alliances with other groups or factions nor claim territory for themselves.

Currently, the option to create a Dispersed character is OPEN
