The Wayfarer is a large skeleton that can be located in the Blood Tundra.
Information[]
The Wayfarer was a legendary figure in Feral, with tall, slender magenta arms and a bulky warm red body. Its shoulders are wide and covered in lighter red fluffy fur, with pale yellow flowers poking out. It is colossally large, with a stone-like head and two long horizontal antlers. A gold-beaded necklace is strung around its neck, and it wears a leather belt with gray-blue fabric hanging down from it.
Many years ago, the Wayfarer reached up and parted the clouds of an endless winter. NPCs of Feral have since paid tribute to him with celebrations and gifts each Frostfete, in hopes that the endless winter won't return.
A handful of information about the Wayfarer's skeleton was revealed in Old Wounds; the Wayfarer's closest relative is the Tree. It was struck twice prior to neutralization. The first strike was in the back. Analysis indicates this being is dead, not gone. Data indicates this being lived in a climate warmer than indicated by its current temperature. It appears a sword was used to fell this being. Time of death unknown.
This ties into the theories revolving around the Watcher. Though it is hard to confirm what exactly happened, it looks as if the Watcher had stabbed the Wayfarer (as seen in a mural in City Fera during Frostfete), in hopes of prolonging the winter. Those of Feral who do not wish to pay tribute to the Wayfarer sometimes pay tribute to the Watcher, for unknown reasons. The Wayfarer has been compared to the Watcher as the "Light and Dark" by Madame Zolita.
Trivia[]
- The living version of the creature has an emoji in the official Feral Discord server called :Wayfarer:. Its appearance looks similar to that of the other NPC images, hinting that it may be an NPC as well.
- The Wayfarer is one of WildWorks' Animator, Nathan's favorite species.[1]
- A particular Wayfarer, the Winter Wayfarer, is one of the main focuses of the Frostfete holiday. It may be the same Wayfarer whose skeleton rests in the Blood Tundra, judging from a mural seen in City Fera during Frostfete,
