The Whispering Veil Forest

## Description:

The Whispering Veil Forest is an immense and mysterious expanse that blankets the entirety of the Nyxgloom realm. This dense, twisted woodland is a place of both eerie beauty and profound dread, its tangled undergrowth and towering trees shrouded in a perpetual mist that obscures the true nature of the land.

## Atmosphere:

The atmosphere within the Whispering Veil Forest is suffused with an unsettling quiet. Faint whispers seem to emanate from the shadows, giving the forest its name. The air is damp and heavy with the scent of decay, and the very ground seems to exude an aura of ancient malevolence.

## Flora and Fauna:

The forest is teeming with flora and fauna that have adapted to the realm's ominous ambiance. Twisted trees with gnarled branches reach towards the sky, their leaves casting strange, fleeting shadows on the forest floor. Luminescent fungi glow with an eerie light, guiding travelers through the otherwise impenetrable gloom.

## Enigmatic Paths:

Navigating the Whispering Veil Forest is a challenge in itself. The mist can easily lead travelers astray, while the forest's ever-shifting paths and deceptive clearings make it difficult to maintain one's bearings. Some say that the forest itself is sentient, guiding or confounding those who dare to enter.

## Creatures of Darkness:

The forest is home to a variety of creatures that thrive in its eerie depths. Shadowstalkers, creatures that excel at remaining unseen, prowl the underbrush. Mistwraiths drift through the mist, haunting those who venture too close. Even more terrifying creatures, born from the darkest recesses of fear, roam the depths of the Whispering Veil.

## Mysteries and Legends:

Legends speak of ancient rituals performed within the Whispering Veil Forest, rituals that attempted to harness its power for unspeakable purposes. It is said that the forest itself is a realm of its own, a realm where reality and nightmare intertwine.

## Adventure Hooks:

* The Lost Expedition: A group of explorers has gone missing within the Whispering Veil Forest. The players are tasked with finding them and uncovering the mysteries of their disappearance.
* Cursed Relic: Rumors of a powerful artifact hidden deep within the forest lead the party to navigate its treacherous depths, facing both natural and supernatural obstacles.
* The Enchanted Grove: Legends speak of an enchanted grove deep within the forest, where a being of immense power grants favors to those brave enough to find it.

Umbral Syndicate

# Umbral Syndicate: Masters of Shadows and Malevolence

## Description:

Within the eerie realm of Nyxgloom, the Umbral Syndicate thrives as a powerful and all-encompassing crime organization. Operating from their sinister headquarters, a spectral train that phases in and out of the heavy mist of the Whispering Veil Forest, the syndicate's nefarious reach extends beyond thievery. They capture monstrosities to experiment on, creating more potent abominations to further their malevolent goals.

## Haunted Train of Shadows:

The Umbral Syndicate's mobile stronghold is the Haunt Express, a hauntingly ethereal train that emerges from the veiled mist of the Whispering Veil Forest. Its appearance is accompanied by an air of foreboding, as it serves as both transportation and a symbol of the syndicate's dominance.

## Masters of Dark Schemes:

The syndicate's members are experts in weaving intricate webs of deceit and manipulation. With shadow manipulation at their disposal, they operate covertly, moving like whispers in the darkness.

## Capturers and Creators of Horror:

The Umbral Syndicate's criminal activities transcend mere theft. They specialize in capturing monstrous creatures from Nyxgloom's depths, subjecting them to dark experiments that imbue them with enhanced powers and monstrous forms.

## Dominance Through Fear:

The Umbral Syndicate has spread its influence like a cancer throughout Nyxgloom. Through blackmail, extortion, and ruthless power plays, they command fear and obedience from both lowly criminals and those in positions of power.

## Eldritch Agreements:

Members of the Umbral Syndicate are bound by eldritch contracts that solidify their loyalty. These dark pacts ensure the syndicate's secrecy, as betrayal results in dire and supernatural consequences.

## Monstrous Enforcers:

The syndicate's experiments have birthed abominations and monstrous hybrids, serving as both enforcers and instruments of terror. These creatures obey the syndicate's commands, ensuring their dominance.

## Intricate Web of Alliances:

The Umbral Syndicate's reach extends into the web of factions within Nyxgloom. Hidden alliances and betrayals are commonplace, further blurring the lines between enemies and allies.

## Unearthly Aspirations:

Whispers circulate about the syndicate's ultimate goal: to unearth ancient relics and secrets that could reshape Nyxgloom's destiny. Their ambition to wield dark power drives them forward with unrelenting malevolence.

## Adventure Hooks:

* Sinister Pact: A character is presented with an eldritch contract by the Umbral Syndicate, promising power and influence in exchange for a favor of unknown consequences.
* Monstrous Alliance: The party uncovers the syndicate's monstrous experiments, forcing them to decide whether to destroy the abominations or manipulate them for their own goals.
* Web of Shadows: The characters become entangled in the syndicate's intricate web of alliances, navigating a dangerous game of deceit and manipulation to further their own interests.
Otherworld

The **Otherworld** is the afterlife of the COAD series, where apparently most things go when they die... if your souls get scrambled this can be a whole different story, however. Some portals to the Otherworld are believed to exist, for example, somewhere in the bee cave, where a piece ofthe fire-opal was kept by Nef during *Soul Eater*. It took me a while to realize that I didn't have a page on this yet. The Death journey all leads up to you hopefully getting sent here.,,
Demons

Demons are made in the *Chronicles of Ancient Dankness* world by merely removing a being's clan-soul, which gives one a sense of association, kinship and morality. Demons can cause sickness, famine, and in the hands of a sorcerer, they can take over a creature's body to form a fucking monster like a tokoroth or the bear. Likewise, removing a being's name-soul results in a ghost, and removing the world soul forces you to live in t h e v o i d f o r e t e r n i t y. The Soul-Eaters are infamous for using the demons to do their bidding, in a twisted hope to "enforce the ways of the World Spirit."

Demons come in small, medium and XXXXXXXXXXL size (elementals.)
Thull

**Thull** is Oslak's little brother, who has a son called Dari. He was mostly only mentioned at the beginning of *Spirit Walker*, where Oslak goes insane from the honey disease, I have no idea if this disease has a canon name. Thull becomes completely invisible (metaphorically of course, it would be cool to have an invisible character though...) throughout the entire rest of the series, never to be heard from again. Yet another character with missed opportunity, ain't it?
Does renn and torak mate?

**Does renn and torak mate?** is a question that philosophers have wracked their brains wondering about for ages. The multiple answers to the question include:

Yo, Nes, Mayhaps, Perbe, Prossibly, ask **Michelle**.

Is it fanfiction? Is it a theory? Is it canon? We have no idea, but you could probably argue it is. It has been listed as both of the former on this wiki, for whatever reason.

   **This article has been listed as cringeworthy fan fiction. Visit the hub for cringey fan fiction right here. All fanfiction should be in this category, even if it is not particularly cringeworthy.**
The Crag

**The Crag** is a ridge on the northeastern coast of the Seal Island.

## In *Spirit Walker*

The Crap is a big, crappy cliff on a big, crappy island which the Seal Clan proudly calls home. Tenris regularly came up to this cliff, where Torak asked questions and eventually learned of his spirit-walking powers. When Tenris went, "Oh yeah, I wanted to kill you and eat your fucking heart the whole time" and pinned Torak down, he brought his couple of tokoroths up there, and made a big wall of burning logs (epic build strats for amateur wizards, find these easily on YouTube.) Then Torak yolo'd his way off The Crag, and Tenris followed him for some suicidal fun. Nobody plays that game as well as Nef, but Tenris still won the game (by dying, of course, he got eaten by a whale.)

## In *Oath Breaker*

Torak held a primitive vacation at Seal Island, and got into a skinboat (the same kind of boat as a traditional kayak) race with Bale. He lost, of course, but Bale fucking died to a menace which Torak and Renn realized quickly to be Thiazzi.
Ways Avatar copied Wolf Brother

We all know that that one James Cameron film with the blue people, that nobody remembers anything about, ripped off just about everything. Here, let’s have our hand at rooting it out: *Avatar*, aka *Dances with Wolves* but with space Thundersmurfs, came out in 2009, the same year as “Ghost Hunter.” COPYING CONFIRMED!!! Jk this article is bs

### Unrefutable evidence

-In *Wolf Beothuk,* the random guy has to go on an adventure because his relative died, getting into a snafu with some deadly animals early on. He then gets brought in by hunters so they can decide if he should die. He then goes along in an uneasy alliance with some hunter to learn the clan’s ways. The clan all decides he is some sort of chosen one, he gets into a big fight, leaving an ally who randomly shows up to kill the big bad dude who I had grown to like.

It turns out this whole hunk of “resemblance” works with *Spirit Walker* as well. I knew the whole plot of the original was copied and pasted onto the sequel, and I plan to make an article on that too.

## PAYAKAN, the whale from avatar 2

i noticed some major similarities watching Avatard 2 between the “whale” in that movie, and Notched Fin, the whale from Spirit Walker. For real, this time, although I doubt Cameron read any of the COAD.

-Injured fin whale

-Abandoned by whale pod for being a killer

-Turns out the whale was injured by the main villain, poaching the whales illegally

-Whale nearly kills the protagonist

-At the end the whale fucking owns the villain (the whale recognized him)

Surely there’s more ways to use a whale in a story, right? The two whales have the exact same function to the plot.
River Axehandle

The River Axehandle is a river that flows out of... you guessed it, Lake Axehead. By the way, my wiki page for Lake Axehead has a solid light blue blue bottom part because I forgot to zoom out and find the bottom. I do not recall any time in which this river was encountered in the series, although it was mentioned a whole bunch of times. Maybe it might have popped up in, eh... *Outcast*, because Torak was all over Lake Axehead back then.
Blue slate knife

This cool nifty ass little knife was made by the Seal Clan, which Torak's paternal grandmother was a part of. It was made out of blue slate, duh, a highly prized possession in the forest, and was used to prove that Torak was indeed "bone kin" with the Seals. Get your own knife today for only $942794.99! Become a million dollars in debt today! Trust me, it's worth it, now you can beg at people's doors because you are dead broke, even though it's very clearly your fault. Torak's father gave Torak this knife as he laid dying.
Click

**Click** is a wolf cub who was birthed to Wolf and Darkfur in *Oath Breaker*, but had died a month before the beginning of *Ghost Hunter (*To some sort of disease, which we don't know much about.) Click apparently had "foxy" ears. Click is an awfully strange name for a wolf... at least he had been out out of his misery, so he would not have to live a whole lifetime's worth of "ckhhckhkchkchcklgkg" ... what a relief. That would be a pain, see you on the death journey Click.
The darkest light

I have no idea what this oil lamp was referred to as by Torak, I just call it the **darkest light**, as it was called in Saeunn's prophecy. It is a part of the three, or four, objects referred to confusingly as the Nanuak, though they just had a whole lot of Nanuak in them, that is, some of the strongest bits of it. It was more of a sandstone bowl, with a little oil left in it. Some unfortunate random dude had frozen to death on a glacier, and Torak stole his lamp... and brought it to beg to the World Spirit on its mountain.
Possum Chowg's growing suspicion that people are actually visiting his wiki

The title is fairly self explanatory, as long as you know that Possum Chowg is the creator of nanuak.Wikia.com. the wiki's recommendations list is growing, and it includes the name "Narrander", which I never search since the actual page is labeled "The Walker." By the way, does labelled have one l or two? No, that isn't an I, that's an L.

## Confirmation

After Nanuak Wiki and COAD wiki featured each other in an epic betrayal of both wikis' history, the wiki has gotten five new users, according to **analytics**. (Too bad non-moderators can't view the analytics page.) One is probably Sigma, one is probably Kirkburn, the quiet dude of all guys, one might just be Chowg offline, but the other two... who knows?
Mountain of the World Spirit

The Mountain of the World Spirit, or the mountain that probably isn't even real, was Torak's destination in the original *Wolf Brother*. The World Spirit is said to dwell up there. When Torak got there to battle Hord and the bear, the World Spirit accepted Wolf's lupine express delivery, making a big avalanche and killing the bad guys. Wolf went to live there for a while with a new pack, before catching the adolescent boy smell and coming down to see his old friend again.
Finding Nemo

Finding Nemo is one of the many worlds that was visited.

## Synopsis

Marlin, a clown fish, is overly cautious with his son, Nemo, who has a foreshortened fin.

When Nemo swims too close to the surface to prove himself, he is caught by a diver, and horrified Marlin must set out to find him.

A blue reef fish named Dory-- who has a really short memory -- joins Marlin and complicates the encounters with sharks, jellyfish, and a host of ocean dangers.

Meanwhile, Nemo plots his escape from a dentist's fish tank.

Hidden People

The **Hidden People** are a speculated group of people believed to exist by the clans in the *Chronicles of Ancient Dankness*. They apparently "look like us, but when they turn their backs, they're rotten," (from *Spirit Walker*). Torak claims to have encountered the Hidden People in *Wofl Brother,* when he nearly drowned, and they told him things like "Go commit not feeling so good" and "please cease vital functions". The Hidden People are said to have been banished a long time ago from ordinary society, and now they hide behind everyone else like the pariahs of the COAD world.
The Rock (Raven Clan)

The Rock, except this time not actually Dwayne Johnson himself, but his impersonator, is a large rock located on the *Raven Clan's* new camp site at the beginning of *Spirit Walker*. The other Rock can also be found in *Spirit Walker*. Saeunn would go up on the Raven Rock and beg not to be disturbed by all of us... I just wanna have a little talk, why so gloomy? I get that you're old but... come on, we all should have a little company sometimes...
Wreck-It Ralph

Wreck-It Ralph is one of the many worlds that was visited.

## Synopsis

Arcade-game character Wreck-It Ralph is tired of always being the "bad guy" and losing to his "good guy" opponent, Fix-It Felix.

Finally, after decades of seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides to take matters into his own hands.

He sets off on a game-hopping trip to prove that he has what it takes to be a hero.

However, while on his quest, Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade.

Mountain of the World Spirit pack

The **MOUNTAIN PACK** is a group of wolves that Wolf encountered and went to live with at the end of *Wolf Brother*. Wolf never really felt like they were as much of his family as Torak had been, despite the blatant species barrier that somehow flew right over Wolf's head. Not exactly the brightest beast out there, huh? The Mountain Pack is obsessed with games like hunt-the-lemming, (self explanatory), catch-the-dead-frozen-lemming, Lemmings, that stupid computer game your dad is obsessed with, actually I regret mentioning that one, rip-off-the-lemming's-testicles (I REALLY regret that one), and so on.
Wolf Brothel

A **Wolf Brothel** is likely to exist somewhere in prehistoric Norway, but obviously we have not seen it. Originating from a truly epic typo I made trying to type **Wolf Brother**, how do we know that our lupine fellows do not have their bits of prostitution and orgies? And considering the suspiciously vivid description of a sex dance between Wolf and Darkfur, there has to be quite a bit of this shit here.

Time to build a time machine, go to Norway or whatever about six thousand years ago, and then we can perhaps find a Wolf Brothel somewhere.
Seal Islands

The **Seal Islands**, consisting of the Seal, Cormorant and Kelp islands, are home to, well, the Seal, Cormorant and Kelp clans. They are likely either the Shetland or Lofoten islands.

The Seal Islands are shown as an arrow on the map in the original *Wolf Brother*, but it is not revealed what these craggy lumps look like until we have to spend all our time there in *Spirit Walker.* During the great wave, these things got bashed up and bludgeoned, everyone was fucked and you had to climb the Crag to stay safe. Clans on these islands take turns holding conventions on each others’ islands each year.
White Fox pro tip: seal hunting hacks

Ok hey guys, \*static sound in the background, wobbly camera\* welcome to my tutorial, this is Inuktiluk, and I am here to show you an ESSENtIAL trick for surviving in the Far North. This is almost as important as being fucking fat. So here we go... let's start!

So first, you have to find a little hole in the ice. These are a few inches wide and should be easy to find, especially in thin ice. These are probably a seal's breathing hole, they aren't fish so they have to breathe air! Then, when you hear a sucking noise, you know a seal has come up to breathe. That's when you can grab a harpoon and shove it down the thing's mouth! Now, all you have to do is detach the shaft from the harpoon, and use input as a shitty shovel to widen the hole, while the seal bleeds to death and you can finally get it out of the hole! Hold on and yank hare, those things are big and heavy, you know... ask for help on them if you're too scrawny... easy!

That's all for today, thanks for watching my tutorial, and remember to like and subscribe.

*This article, for the comedically impaired and just plain retarded, parodies YouTube tutorials as a (kind of) humorous anachronism.*
First Tree

The **Aurora Borealis** or **Northern Lights**, referred to as the **First Tree** by the clans, is a large shimmering green light you can see near the poles or during the winter if you go far enough north. For people who live in the southern parts of the world, such as myself, I advise you all to seek the First Tree out. By the way, you know, it's possible according to scientists for the earth's magnetic poles to drift away from the poles and even flip around, so fellows near the equator may someday be able to catch a glimpse of these for a few decades. "Pole reversal" is a worrying matter even to modern man, as it could fuck up the migration patterns of birds and shit. Imagine how Paver's world would react to such an issue...
Salmon Clan

The Salmon Clan is the greatest of all clans, due to its containment of Gaup. My ironic obsession for Gaup, originally because I wanted a random character to be the beginning of this wiki, (Gaup was the third page on this wiki, after Michelle Paver and the front page.) with selik root appearing as a page not long after, Apparently they dress similarly to the Seal Clan with the same shells tied into their hair... judging from the description of GAUP.

Yes, I will painstakingly link every word of this page to Gaup, except for one which redirects to the Unabomber Manifesto.
Wolf Clan

The Wolf Clan, definitely not a group of crazy emos, even though they are highly secluded, have shaggy black hair and act like they're persecuted, and are called the "wolf clan", is Torak's birth clan, and Torak's father was once their mage. Nowadays the Wolf Clan are all secretive, constantly moving, with yellow eyes, and their leader, as of *Outcast*, is Maheegun. The clan rejected Torak, thus making him clanless, and that means you're fucked.
Moons

Moons are just months, or cycles of the moon. There are about thirty days in a moon, and twelve or thirteen moons in a year. The rough correspondences are, according to the Wolf Brother website (this calendar begins in March, around the vernal equinox):

**Moon of Roaring Rivers** (March) (Earthen Moon)

**Birchblood Moon** (April) (Cleared Field Moon)

**Moon of the Salmon Run** (May) (Sowing Moon)

**Moon of No Dark** (June) (Summer Moon)

**Cloudberry Moon** (July) (Hay Moon)

**Moon of Green Ashseed** (August) (Living Moon)

**Moon of Roaring Stags** (September) (Autumn Moon)

**Blackthorn Moon** (October) (Mud Moon)

**Moon of Red Willow** (November) (Death Moon)

**Moon of Long Dark** (December) (Yule Moon)

**Sun-Wake Moon** (January) (Oak Moon)

**Willow Grouse Moon** (February) (Pearl Moon)

Another "moon", called the Moon of Green Snow, occurs in the lunar calendar equivalent of leap years.
Cormorant Island

The **Cormorant Island** is smaller than the Seal Island, and located to the north of it. It is home to the Cormorant Clan, duh... surely the seal island could fit another clan on it? Ehh... maybe even it could be a bit too small for such a purpose. Torak and the Seal trio once paddled out towards Cormorant Island to practice skinboating, and Torak's oar broke, to the surprise of the three... "they're made out of the finest driftwood..." Well, seems legit.
Growler

**Growler** is the cleverest... or is it most clever... who cares, let's say cleverest because fuck proper grammar, this is a shitty retarded wiki anyway... of the three cubs which Wolf and Whitepaw came to take care of in Outcast. He also had a fair amount of cunning, trying to jump right in and eat Wolf's goddamn face. Of course, being a mere cub, he failed miserably, and Wolf went along to go about his damn business. Keep going, little one, maybe you could be big and strong someday.
Narik

**Narik** was the son of the Walker, also known as Narrander. 28 years before *Wolf Brother*, Narik died in the massive forest fire set by Mr. Arson (Torak's father,) causing his father, at the time the otter mage, who then lost his damn job to a couple of fuckng kids. The Walker commonly mistakes random fucking rodents for reincarnations of his son Narik. Notice that the first three letters of Narik and Narrander are the same, have you figured that out?
Japan

魂食らい (Tamashigurai) is apparently the Japanese name for "Soul Eater". Well, according to Google Translate that does indeed mean "soul eater". Had to painstakingly find the Chinese letters for this page.

Also, I hear some people think COAD is set in Japan somehow, especially, of course, some Japanese people. Michelle Paver is glad that people could associate the story with their own countries.

I needed up seeing so much stuff about Japan, especially in comments on Michelle Paver's videos, that it ended up with its own page.
The boar

Do not confuse with the bear.

The boar is a boar (yeah, a male, duh, that's what boar means you boarons, the animals are pigs, hogs or swine...), that Torak befriended in Spirit Walker. The creature and a Torak followed around each other, with a good deal of obvious respect, until the Follower, the infamous tokoroth, came and shot it with a poison dart, making it angry and attempt to kill Torak, who managed (pro skills 200 IQ moment) to pull his quiver off the ground with his axe, then shoot the poor thing dead. Then he could eat it... or would that be disrespectful to an old friend, he thought...
Eye of the Viper

**The Eye of the Viper** is at the end of an ice cave, located in the northernmost north of the Far Northern Northern North. That's not the north pole, but it is close enough to make any reasonable fellow turn back to avoid freezing to death in mid-summer. This is where the Soul-Eaters have resided for nearly 30 years... back in those days, some people didn't even live that long. (Repost if you'r soooo stupid and retarded that you won't live to be 35, mins my morbid "jokes"...) At least I am funnier than the average deviantART user, and praise the COAD fans for touching more grass than average. Oh boy, I do love derailing wikia pages!
Gloompeak Spire

## Description:

Gloompeak Spire stands as the awe-inspiring centerpiece of the Nyxgloom realm, a monumental mountain that pierces the veil between worlds. Its towering spires of jagged obsidian rise through the perpetual twilight, casting long, ominous shadows that stretch across the mist-shrouded landscape. The mountain's craggy terrain and twisted formations evoke a sense of primal unease, leaving all who gaze upon it with a feeling of foreboding.

## Atmosphere:

Gloompeak Spire is perpetually cloaked in a dense mist that clings to its craggy surfaces. The air is heavy with an eerie stillness, disrupted only by the occasional howl of the wind as it echoes through the spires. Traveling through its treacherous paths is an exercise in navigating the unknown, as the mist often obscures what lies beyond the next bend.

## Legends and Lore:

Legends of Gloompeak Spire are woven into the fabric of Nyxgloom's history. It's said that the mountain was forged in the crucible of ancient conflicts between powerful entities, its twisted spires a testament to the horrors that unfolded. Whispers abound of a great power at its summit, one that influences the very nature of the realm itself.

## Inhabitants and Dangers:

Gloompeak Spire is home to a variety of malevolent creatures that thrive within its shadowy crevices. These include shadowstalkers, creatures that move with uncanny stealth, and mistwraiths, entities that emerge from the mist to haunt unsuspecting travelers. The Ebony Castle, perched at the summit, is the true heart of Gloompeak Spire's darkness, serving as the lair of the fearsome Dreadlord.

## Adventure Hooks:

* Obscured Truths: A prophecy speaks of hidden knowledge at the peak of Gloompeak Spire. The players must brave the treacherous ascent and uncover the secrets that have been shrouded in mist for ages.
* The Whispers' Clue: Mysterious whispers seem to emanate from the mountain, leading the party to uncover a hidden entrance to the heart of Gloompeak Spire.
* Cursed Expedition: A faction seeks to harness the power of the mountain for their own purposes. The players must prevent them from reaching the summit and unleashing the Dreadlord's malevolence.
Dari

**Dari**, not to be confused with Dark, that one hermit kid, is Thull's little son and Oslak's nephew, referenced only in *Spirit Walker* (as far as I can remember) but probably still alive at the end. Torak made a little toy auroch out of pinecones for him, and he lost in a river almost immediately, just your average five-"summer"-old things, classic clan problems. I bet he was really fucking annoying to Thull anyway. If you disagree, then you have never met a little kid in your life, for sure, although we can have some fun messing with 'em...
Torak's mother

Little is known about Torak's mother, who she was, and so on. She was a member of the... Red Deer clan, if I remember correctly. She died not long after Torak was born, so Torak had to be suckled on a wolf. alright, Rome should be called Tore for this reason, and this is also apparently the reason *why* Torak can talk to wolves. Yeah, who the fuck even is she anyway? If only we got to see her ghost like we saw her husband's, maybe then we might to get to know more about her than just a fucking medicine horn.
Tanugeak

Tanugeak is an old lady from White Fox Clan, possibly a leader or mage, but I can't remember.... anything about her. Yeah she's the mage, I remember. Well, that is a funny name, and uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. Is that a hard or a soft G? well shit... Didn't she tell Torak and Renn how to get to the Eye of the Viper?

This article is a serious stub, guys...
Oslak

Oslak

**Oslak** is the strongest man in Raven Clan, and he has only one ear, having lost it to sn incident with a wolverine, num yom chomp glup mmmm... Oslak was one of Torak's original kidnappers, all that for a fucking roe-buck, couldnt the Ravens just find another one? I know it's hard to track an animal, but eventually Torak came to be good friends with Oslak. And just like that, Oslak went insane over honey disease, ran for his life from the follower, and jumped off a cliff to his death.

Digger

**Digger** is a wolf from the pack which Wolf met in *Outcast*. He was an angery yet timid little cub, and went over to attack Wolf with his pals Growler and Snap, trying a tail-on assault before somehow managing to piss off Snap, who claimed to be the lead cub of the little group. Not quite as bright as Growler, but he did know what to do. You know, male puppies are known for letting their sisters win (true fact), perhaps because they are incestuous simps. Lol, just kidding...
Clan meeting

All the clans we know of try to meet up and discuss every third "summer", for the full on *Wolf Brother* fan convention we all wished was real. Good luck meeting me, from Possum Chowg, ready to kidnap kids in my boat. In 3967 BC (time of *Outcast,*) it was held in the Open Forest south of Lake Axehead. Occasionally they choose someone to vote out of the clans, and since Torak looked a little suspicious here, oooohhhhhhh nooooooo I just realized I sounded like I was referencing.... uhhh I won't say it... But anyway, Torak ended up as an outcast, and that's how the whole *Outcast* started.

An earlier clan meeting (spring of 3973 BC), was a bit of a snafu for Torak and his father. More about that here.

PS, the original wiki page for "clan meet" is literally just one sentence, you could all try to expand it, not me because I'm sick and tired from writing the Nanuak Wiki.

This wiki was supposed to be full of speculation and theories, so amateur philosophers, we must ask ourselves, "What was the clan meeting like after Torak left?" Well, the sea and forest clans got their chances, it was probably held in the Far North or the Mountains. Thus, the heatbaskers should have kept out.

The Seal Islands have similar meetings every three years.
Suicide

**Suicide**, also known as **committing die**, **deathpacito**, **neck rope**, **toaster bath**, **scooter ankle**, **cliff jump**, **head pew pew**, **oxygen not reach lungs**, and **not feeling so good**, is everyone's favorite once-in-a-lifetime leasurely acrivity that can rid your worst memories and cure depression. Fun for the whole family! The only known suicide in the *Chronicles of Ancient Dankness* series is that which Nef did by throwing herself into a demon stampede in *Soul Eater*. Truly a legend... **for all time.**
Boar Clan

The 🅱️oar Clan are close trading partners with the Sea Eagles. Members include Aki and that one guy who threatened an auroch at the beginning of Spirit WAlker. They are both friends and foes of the Raven Clan, and Torak lived there for a while before GhostHunter. The Boars use dugout boats, less cool than what you see with Seal Clan.
The bee cave

MAH PANTS AH FULL O' BEES!!! -Possum Chowg

What if we kissed in the bee cave? Just kidding.... unless? 😳 -Captain Obvious

Well this cave is full of bees too. How did Renn wake up in there anyway? At the eye of the viper in *Soul Eater*, Renn is brought into a cave containing a portal to the Otherworld, a piece of the fire opal, and a whole bunch of fucking bees for some reason. Yea, this really happened, remember? I think Nef brought Renn there while she was asleep or something, but I can't remember and I'm not sure if it even says in the book. Never thought I'd talk about bees here. Genuine honeybees, bzzzz bzzz bzzzz.
N.A.N.U.A.K. Wiki

**Welcome to the chaos. For all the less-serious Wolf Brother fans out there, this wiki was designed not just for genuine information, but also screwing around... hehe! Fan fiction, theories, just regular articles but cruder, and random things, anything is welcome on the NANUAK Wiki.**

Sincerely, POSSUM chowg, desperate for new editors
We are sure you were not searching for **the official Chronicles of Ancient Darkness wiki at wolfbrother.wikia.com.** That place has even worse typos than the World Spirit’s sacred wiki, such as, in their article on the Nanuak: the so-called “word” TgggghhgdffgfdfcfggvThese. Unlike them, our typos are intnetinoal.

**Prove you have visited using this quiz**.

Our goal is to overtake the official wiki in terms of article count.

Welcome to N.A.N.U.A.K. (Nothing actual, No Useful Author’s Knowledge), the “real” michelle paver wiki (mostly centered on Spirit Walker so far) with only a few pages, made by POSSUM CHOWG in his spare time, starting August 8, 2023.
An only half-serious wikia page centered on Michelle Paver’s obscure children’s book series, “The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness”. I feel weird making a book series wiki, although a wiki about the series already exists and these novels are better than you’d expect.

All you readers could contribute and try to make it funnier than the dull shit I have so far...

Zero fan art exists for this so I have made my own in MS Paint.

Also, can anyone explain why there are so many links to weird-ass meme wikis here? These keep showing up on unrelated pages. (Go commit die lore (oh wait, I'm pretty sure that one is because of the awful jokes about Nef's suicide on here), a fucking Among Us wiki for some reason, and a few others I didn't recognize.)

We ❤️ Gaup and 5.50.97.177 on this

Also, I am not sure of why the uncyclopedia logo keeps showing up on some pages.

Weird Shit
Ebony Castle

## Description:

The Ebony Castle is a towering fortress perched atop Gloompeak Spire, a beacon of darkness and terror within the Nyxgloom realm. Its jagged obsidian walls rise from the mist-shrouded mountain, casting long shadows that seem to writhe with malevolent intent. The castle is home to the Demonic House of Nightmares, a powerful family of demons that holds sway over Nyxgloom's horrors.

## Architecture and Defenses:

The castle's architecture is a melding of gothic splendor and eldritch horror. Its spires reach into the perpetual twilight, while its parapets are adorned with eerie sculptures that appear to come alive in the gloom. The Ebony Castle is surrounded by a supernatural mist that acts as both a barrier and a guardian, deterring intruders and obscuring the fortress from view.

## Cursed Grounds:

The grounds surrounding the Ebony Castle are tainted by ancient curses. The mist that envelops the castle carries a curse of despair, inducing feelings of hopelessness in those who enter. The very stones of the castle absorb the memories of terror and dread, echoing them in eerie whispers that resonate throughout its halls.

## Chamber of Nightmares:

Within the castle lies the infamous Chamber of Nightmares, a room that exists outside the confines of time and space. Here, the most twisted fears of Nyxgloom manifest as tangible horrors. These nightmares are captured, amplified, and unleashed upon those who dare to oppose the demonic family.

## Inhabitants and Curses:

The Ebony Castle is inhabited by the Demonic House of Nightmares, a family of powerful demons that draw power from the terrors of the realm. Each member of the family personifies a different aspect of horror, weaving their dark abilities into the fabric of Nyxgloom's nightmares.

## Adventure Hooks:

* Trespassing the Shadows: The party ventures into the Ebony Castle to retrieve a relic, only to find themselves ensnared by the curses and horrors within.
* Breaking the Curse: The players are tasked with lifting the curse that has plagued a nearby village due to the castle's malevolent influence.
* Unraveling the Whispers: Mysterious whispers lead the adventurers to the castle, where they must confront the Demonic House of Nightmares and uncover the truth behind their power.
Yolun

Yolun is a member of the Otter Clan who appeared in *Outcast*. I have no idea what Yolun did, except introducing Bale and Renn to the twins. Who the hell is Yolun, what did he do, not even the official wiki remembers. Torak never met Yolun, because he was tripping balls on an island the whole time

Yolun was never seen again, living in those water platforms where the Otter Clan build their houses. I'll be rolling and Yolun around, the way otter do we all "otter" get out of this wiki...
The river eyes

The **drowned sight**, as Saeunn's prophecy referred to them as, or the **river eyes**, as Torak knew them, are two muddy balls of ice that Torak found in the Widewater River. H nearly risked his life in there, with all the Hidden People apparently lurking down there, telling him to commit suicide, drown himself, unalive, and so forth. He reached down and grabbed them, finding out that these balls have some immense power in them, very nanuak-heavy objects.
Shadow

**Shadow** is a female cub of Wolf and Darkfur, which appeared in *Ghost Hunter*. She is known amongst Torak and the Raven Clan for her strange habit of gnawing on people's boots, and has a very black coat. Shadow, like Pebble, was attacked and fucking yeeted by Eostra's eagle owls. If I remember correctly, Shadow landed really fucking far away, yelping and screaming on the side of a faraway hill. Eventually Shadow was found...
Gaup

Whoops I meant Gaup not gaul

Gaup is a fisherman from the Salmon Clan in *Oath Breaker.* Nobody remembers much about “Oath Breaker”. All we know is that at one point (probably), his hand got cut off, he tells Torak and Renn about the ongoing war in the Deep Forest, as the pair go down to murder-but-not-actually-murder Thiazzi, the asshole oak shaman. We never saw from him again, but everyone probably chcukled at his name, which sounds like someone is gasping for air. Being in the Salmon Clan, Gaup must let the salmon be, so he must \*gaup\* instead of them. Or airdrown, fish do what they do, whatever. \*hiccup\*
Viper Clan

The Viper Clan lives just north of the Raven Clan. Seshru, their former mage, was banished from the clan after being revealed to be among the Soul-Eaters. She even changed her name! As the only member of the clan that gets a good mention, I always get uneasy talking about this clan. Sorry, any vipers in the audience. Sorry... wait... what... where did you all go? Dang, those slithery snakes all left me becuase I only mentioned their traitor mage.
Red Deer Clan

**The Red Deer Clan** is a Deep Forest clan. As the 194th page we just tied the original wiki... Like most clans of the deep forest, the Red Deer fellows are in general masters of disguise and camouflage. Torak's mother was a member of the Red Deer Clan. If I remember correctly, these guys have red face paint and clan tattoos... but I might have screwed this all up. In *Outcast*, Torak entered their camp and confirmed to these protective dudes that he was kin with them.
CoAD Cast Photo

This is a work-in-progress, but every human character that I have listed will hopefully be on this image in later revisions. There are already a lot.

On the bottom row, from left to right: The Walker, Saeunn, Fin-Kedinn, Torak, Torak's father, Vedna, Oslak, Hord, Renn, Dyrati, Krukoslik, Thull, Poi, Dari in front, Sialot, Wolf

Second row: The White Fox apprentice boy (mislabeled as "hare boy"), Nef, Bera, Etan, Tenris, Aki, Boar Clan Leader, Asrif, Detlan, Bale, Seshru, Islinn, Thiazzi, Tiu, Kyo

Top "row": Chelko, Dark, Juksakai, Inuktiluk, Tanugeak, Akoomik, Durrain, Gaup, Maheegun, Yolun, Ananda (holding the Otter twins)

Top (unfinished): Eostra, Rip, Rek and Ark in the top left.

I apparently forgot Raut but it's too late. I didn't even know who he was until November 27.

Here is the whole cast, labeled...
Midsummer

June Twenty-first, the summer solstice, is commonly a time for pagans of all sorts of cultures to celebrate, and in Wolf Brother, this is no exception. It just so happens that this is when Torak was born as well. He is nearly six thousand years old now... the midsummer celebrations never fail to disappoint, they hold them everywhere regardless of anything, even if the apocalypse has started, and make sure to bring the poisoned juniper berries.
Norway

The **Kingdom of Norway** (Kongeriket Norge (Norwegian, pronounced "kunga-reekut norga"), Norgga gonigasriika (Northern Saami), Norjan kuningaskunta (Finnish)) is, of course, a country in Northern Europe, whose capital is Oslo. Norway is well known for fish and oil exports, as well as medieval Vikings, and it is also heavily implied that Norway is the main setting of the *Chronicles of Ancient Darkness* series. For those who didn't look closely, *COAD* is canonically not set in a fictional area. The books are said by Michelle Paver to take place in prehistoric Europe, and according to maps, *Wolf Brother* is set on a large landmass with a west coast that spans up to the Arctic Circle, with mountains to the east. The only place in Europe that has all of these features is Norway, ruling everything out. Michelle Paver also visited Norway among several other places for inspiration, and the Seal Islands, despite geographically matching up with the Shetland Islands northeast of Scotland, were based in the Norwegian Lofoten Islands. Trondheim Fjord is a large "lake" in Norway, perhaps the remains of the "fictional" Lake Axehead.
