Styr Clan

The Styr Clan is a semi large tribe of Wildlings that live within the Frostfang Valley. The Styr Clan once made their home within Hardholme but following its destruction they were forced to flee to the mountains where they now dominate a cave system. The Styr Clan numbers in the hundreds with some six hundred men, women and children within the ranks of the Clan, but this number is drastically smaller then their numbers prior to the destruction of Hardholme.

Clan Styr uses a sigil of a Mountain Bull of which is important to them in that they are known for their husbandry of the mountain bull and their use of it during combat.

Clan Styr was transplanted into the Frostfang's by the Numenorians in the same manner as all other Wildlings and eked their life in the cold mountains of the valley. The Mountain Bull became their calling card as they begin to practise husbandry on the animal and from this came to domesticate their use for nearly the entire valley and turning them into the main pack, and travelling animal of Frostfang.

Mountain Bull
Main Article : Mountain Bull

The Mountain Bull is a loyal domesticated animal lying within the Frostfang Mountains and is the main provider of transportation and storage for most of the Clans of Frostfang. Distinguished by their shaggy coats and massive horns, the Mountain Bull are simple yet proud animals whose fearlessness is matched only by that of their Wildling masters. While these good-natured animals lack ferocity, they compensate with uncommon durability and strength. The thickness of their fur helps them withstand the biting winds of Frostfang and the sharp claws of the mountain beasts that populate the region. Mainly domesticated by Clan Styr the art of actually raising and domesticating the Mountain Bull is a serious business and most other Wildlings simply pay Clan Styr for the services, but with the destruction of Hardholme the Mountain Bull fields of Clan Styr are gone and thus the domesticated Mountain Bull is in decline since.
