The Wullfolk (Wyllenleed: Ƿullfolck [/wullfoʊk/]) or officially The Nomadic Peoples of the Wullfolk is a collective of the species Faunoides aries - known as Sheeppeople as an untaxonomical exonym & Wullfolk by the Wullfolk themselves - who inhabit the eastern part of the Lumarian Plain in North Pelia, located north of S'Lanter & East of Khijovia.

Before the Wullfolk were east of Khijovia - as they came from the north-eastern most reaches of Pelia just west of modern day Verndan - was the Kveutonian Empire which upon its' collapse in the early 500s A.R. saw movement of Wyllen herds to it's lusher western Lumarian Plains with consistent & denser dwelling in the late 500s.

The Land of the Wullfolk is primarily plains, heaths & low hills in the north (known as the Lumarian Plain, or the Lumarish Sward in Wyllenleed.), a large north-westward bottleneck shaped glen - formed by the River Theaves - of thicket-speckled, rocky & arable lowlands - that may infact be persistent ancient swiddens - in the east & centre (known as the Netherheft) and montane, goatpeople-inhabited & spring-ridden highlands in the west (known as the Clastoclite Mountains, or Welkindowns in Wyllenleed.)

Etymology

Wullfolk is an endonym - they're Folk that resemble sheep, which have Wool - that observation certainly hasn't gone over their head. Their taxonomical name is Faunoides aries, or Faunoides hircus for the Welkindown's goatpeople/Goatfolk

For the very land they live on, with the relatively new practice of permanent land - put in place by High Shepherd Racarut the Great after the droughts & zoological diseases that ravaged the Wullfolk in the early 1400s A.R - there is no true word for the land that the Wullfolk live in. Though there are some impromptu words that have stuck; Wyllen Land, Land of the Wullfolk, Wullland/Wyllland or (used colloquially & used derogatorily by anti-sedentarist Wullfolk) The Sheepfold. Wyllland has been favoured by Burghers in recent times.

For the sake of ambiguity "Land of the Wullfolk" will be favoured here for its' emphasis on semantics that makes it not a proper noun - respecting the majorly seminomadity of the Wullfolk.
