You grew up in the wilds, far from the comforts of town. You’ve seen the migration of herds larger than forests, survived weather extremes beyond most can comprehend, & enjoyed the peace of silence. The wilds are in your blood, whether a nomad, an explorer, a recluse, a hunter-gatherer, or a marauder. Even where you don’t know the specific features of the terrain, you know the ways of the wild.

You are considered rough around the edges, you have little patience for life in cities. The ties of a tribe, clan, family, or the natural world are the most important bonds to many of those from the wilds.
