Firvulag. Vad är det?

Ser ni? Firvulag!

En gång i tiden var jag med i spelföreningen Firvulag i Växjö. Ja jag till och med var ordförande ett tag. Det var jag som i lokalpressen sa följande uttalande: "Vi kan skilja på verkligheten och de rollerna vi spelar". Ett citat som inte närmare bör förklaras.

Hur namnet "Firvulag" kom till vet jag inte så noga, men det lär vara någon sorts monster. I alla fall var det vad man svarade på frågan: "Firvulag? Vad är det?".

Vilket som på Wikipedia kan man läsa följande:

"Firvulag

The Firvulag (e.g. Fitharn Pegleg) are, on the whole, small, dark and less good looking than the Tanu, although this is not always the case and there are some giants among them. Many Firvulag are large enough that they would not look out of place on a present-day street, while the greatest heroes and leaders amongst the Firvulag (i.e. Pallol One-Eye, Betularn the Whitehand, Medor Battlemaster, etc.) - who also have the most powerful mental abilities - are true giants, from 8 to 12 feet tall, and massively strong. They live in mountains and caves, far separate from the Tanu, and regard both humans and Tanu with disdain. At the beginning of the series they have a shaky treaty with the 'Lowlife' human escapees of the Tanu regime.

The Firvulag are primarily creative adepts, spinning horrific illusions around themselves in battle to terrify their opponents. They are merciless opponents and when working together are capable of driving a human or weak Tanu mind completely mad with their illusions.

The Firvulag martial tradition is very conservative. They do not ride chalikos into battle, unlike the Tanu and their human cavalry. They wear obsidian armor and fight using obsidian bladed swords and obsidian tipped spears. In battle, they fight like an unorganized mob of infantry. They usually throw their spears in the first rush of battle, then close in using their swords and mindpowers. For the last 40 years, the Firvulag have lost every single one of the grand combats because their unorganized and undisciplined infantry cannot withstand the shock of a heavy cavalry attack. Exiled humans introduced the concept of heavy cavalry to the Tanu and helped them mentally tame the chalikos.

Because of the constant defeats, the Firvulag have been recently growing desperate, and have been willing to take on lowlife humans like Madame Guderian as military advisors. The Firvulag are beginning to adapt more and more of human military tactics and equipment."

Detta gör ju inte saken så mycket tydligare. Men på bilden ovan och nedan kan man se dem. De där ödleliknande varelserna som beblandar sig med vanliga goblins.

Jag tror ödlan till höger är en firvulag.

Märkliga tider. Jag kan förstå att andra föreningar heter Armageddon, Dragons Den eller Herrmans hemorojder. Det kräver inga speciella förklaringar. Numera har Firvulag lagts ner. Föreningen tog med sig frågan i graven...
