All followers of Taal and Rhya avoid excessively modern technology, such as firearms and the printing press, and most are wary of metal armour. The Wild Men, however, think that even this is a betrayal of the true principles of the Gods. Humans should survive with only the tools that the Gods gave them. That is, they should run naked in the forests, killing with their bare hands, gathering fruits and nuts, drinking from streams, and sleeping covered by earth. 1a 1b
The climate of the Empire is not particularly well-suited to this kind of activity, and a lone, unarmed Human is easy prey for many animals, never mind the more dangerous monsters lurking in the Empire’s forests. Thus, the Wild Men tend to gather in small groups, the more experienced teaching the less, and all looking out for one another.
Despite the name, there are Wild Women, and some groups are even rumoured to have children, whom they raise in the wilderness. Recently, Durrbein & Sons of Talabheim have made a lot of money from a series of cheap printed sheets describing the adventures of Talima, a remarkably attractive Wild Woman with the ability to stay miraculously clean. The stories are formulaic and repetitive, so the success of the series can be largely attributed to its illustrations, which are far better than usual for such a cheap medium.
