Formed in the wake of the roiling jungle’s wild wrath by the very nature it tore through, the Wyldborn Enclave acts as a strike force, protecting the wilds of the jungle from the vindictive forces that have sworn to destroy it. Though composed of the denizens of the jungle and headed by a wild-magic infused tyrannosaurus rex, the Enclave welcomes all that have the strength and resolve to help their cause.

## Rank 1: Hatchling

While you have been admitted into the Enclave, you must prove your strength to the masses before being given more power.

### Mechanics

***Wild Walker.*** You are becoming attuned with the Averca’Laen, the Ancestor Land in the Wyld Tongue. While traveling through the Jungle, you gain advantage on Survival checks to determine your location, as well as determining safe places to make camp and to find water and food.

### Social

***Friend to the Wilds.*** While you do not have much power within the Wyldborn, you are a friend and ally, and thus are treated as such. You are offered protection and rest in any of the faction’s sanctums within the major cities of the Archipelago, as well as the Wyldborn Grove within the Continent’s jungle itself.

## Rank 2: Claw

As you rise through the ranks of the Enclave, you face a choice: Will you follow the path of the Maelstrom Walkers, the fists and jaws of the Wyldborn, or will you become a Roil Shaper, those who tame the magics of the Averca’Laen to provide defense and offense alike to the Enclave?

### Mechanics

When you achieve this rank in the Enclaves, choose a path to walk within the jungle's storm.

***The Hunt is On. (Maelstrom Walker).*** Maelstrom Walkers act as the fists and jaws of the Wyldborn, sent to eliminate threats deemed too dangerous to be left unchecked. Once per long rest each, you may cast the Hunters Mark and Spider Climb spells without spending a spell slot, with Wisdom as the spellcasting ability. If you cast these spells this way, you may concentrate on them while raging with disadvantage on the Concentration checks, and the type of the extra damage you deal with Hunter’s Mark is determined by a roll on the Chaos Bolt damage type table as the spell is cast.

***Bolstering Roil (Roil Shaper).*** Roil Shapers use druidic magics to channel the wild, bolstering themselves and their allies against possible adversaries. Once per day, you may cast the Enhance Ability spell without spending a spell slot, with Wisdom as your spellcasting ability. When you cast it this way, you gain an additional option:

*Tyrannosaur’s Fury.* The target gains advantage on Strength (Athletics) and Charisma (Intimidation) checks, and gains a +1 bonus to their attack rolls and AC.

### Social

***Wyldspeaker.*** As you rise in the ranks of the Wyldborn, you gain the ability to speak, read, and write in the Wyld Tongue, an ancient language born anew that is used to send messages between members as well as to refer to that which has no name in the common tongue.

## Rank 3: Forerunner

You are a forerunner, an omen of the coming storm for the enemies of the Continent. You have proven yourself well to the Wyldborn, and your strength may gain you even more favor soon.

### Mechanics

***Chaos Ward (Maelstrom Walker).*** Maelstrom Walkers often use the innate magic of the world around them to create a protective ward about themselves when it is needed most. Three times per day, as a reaction to being attacked, you may throw up a ward of roiling wild magic to deflect the blow. You gain a +2 to your AC until the end of that creature’s turn. If this turns a hit into a miss, that creature takes damage equal to 1d4 plus your proficiency bonus, with the damage type determined by a roll on the *Chaos Bolt* damage type table.

***Weave Singing (Roil Shaper).*** The Roil Shapers of the Wyldborn Enclave use their connection with the roils of the broken weave in the continent to both encourage the growth and the decay of the natural and unnatural magic. Once per day each, you may cast *Plant Growth* and *Dispel Magic*, using Wisdom as your spellcasting ability.

### Social

***Transportation Requested.*** Those in the Wyldborn often make use of domesticated raptors to speed up their travel while in the jungle. While traveling on the Continent, at DM discretion, you may request up to 6 raptors to aid in transportation for your party. They do not participate in combat and do not provide mounted combatant benefits, but halve the time required to arrive at your destination while traveling through the jungle.

## Rank 4: Earthshaker

You are the one that shakes the earth as the jungle fights back at those who wrong it. Though you are great, there is still room to truly prove yourself to the Enclave and ascend to the top of their ranks.

### Mechanics

***Maelstrom Flare (Maelstrom Walker)*.** The most practiced Maelstrom Walkers use the wild magics coursing through them to their advantage, using well-placed hits as an opportunity to bolster their blows with roiling force and chaotic power. Once per turn, when you land a critical hit on a creature, you may choose to roll a d8 on the following table:

 4-5
 6-7
 8

***Tyrant Form (Roil Shaper).*** Those who choose the path of the Roil Shapers often become attuned enough with the natural and chaotic magics of the continent that they can temporarily grant the form of the greatest beasts living there to themselves or their allies. Once per day, you may cast the *Polymorph* spell on a willing creature without expending a spell slot, using Wisdom as the spellcasting ability. When cast this way, the spell can only turn a creature into a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and the target keeps all mental ability scores and can speak in Common while polymorphed.

### Social

***The Bright-Eyed’s Finest.*** You are one of the highest ranking members of the Wyldborn, working under Szeleren Bright-Eyed herself. Those who live in the Jungle and would threaten you know to fear your name, lest the wrath of the Wyld Tyrant comes to back it up.
