Feral Beasts
Feral beasts are the direct descendants of the progenitors. Those that have pure bloodlines are said to have the ability to commune with the all fathers directly. They rely on their animalistic behaviors and instincts to survive in Vikingr’s harsh new realms.
Sentient Beasts
After Ragnarok the Eitr from the slain Gods infused beasts that were primed to accept Seidr. The descendants of the great beasts Fenrir, Hugin, Munin and their likes, rose up and gained self awareness and terrible purpose.
Many settled their old rivalries and hunted down the remaining immortals during the war of the Shattered Gods. This war was costly but ushered in the Age of Beasts.
While now few in number Sentient Beasts are significantly more powerful than their Feral counterparts. With direct access to Seidr through their connection to nature they are extremely cunning and dangerous adversaries.
Not all sentient beasts are foes. It is not unheard of for weaker groups of sentient beasts to team up with their humanic neighbors for mutual protection. As with the Moth Raiders sometimes these agreements end up being life oaths and you can find Sentient Beast and man living and working side by side.
