	The '''Velorim''' are the ancient forest civilization of the [[Murkwood Highlands]], historically dominant across nearly 296,000 square miles of dense mountain woodland. Known for their hollow-based settlements, ambush warfare, and rigid honor culture, the Velorim developed one of the most sophisticated survival societies in pre-colonial Gondara. Though heavily assimilated into the broader Gondaran population by the 1930s, their bloodlines, military doctrine, and frontier ethos remain deeply embedded in national identity. They are most closely associated with the [[Moros]], the elite hunter-warriors whose legacy persists in Gondaran special operations culture.

	The Velorim are inseparable from the [[Murkwood Highlands]]. Their civilization developed in direct response to the region’s dense forests, steep ridgelines, deep hollows, and predator-rich valleys. Movement, settlement, warfare, and social structure are all shaped by the geography of the Murkwood, to the extent that Velorim identity is often understood as an extension of the land itself. Outside dense forest cover, Velorim effectiveness and cultural cohesion decline sharply.		The Velorim are inseparable from the [[Murkwood Highlands]].
