Followers of Folian S'pae are also known as Those of the Pack and aim to be like wolves as much as possible. This is reflected in the way they dress themselves and the weapons they use. Each and every follower of the Longstrider bears a dagger because that represents the claws and fangs of the wolf. However, other weapons are also common, as long as they are made from natural materials (like wood, bone, or leather), because these materials are readily available from nature. Metal weapons are a rarity and only come into a follower's possession after taking it from prey; even then, they're used reluctantly. Amongst Those of the Pack, the use of metal shortswords is common for Wolfswood Rangers; due to the many incursions into their forest over the years, they've acquired many a metal weapon when protecting their hunting grounds. It is customary for Folian's followers to create their own weapons and clothes. However, as the Longstrider does not approve of wasting things, the preferred way is to hand down older weapons within the pack when its owner passes away or no longer requires it.

Clothing is always made from natural materials, usually leathers and hides, but woven materials or breastplates made of wood or carapaces are also not unheard of. The primary requirement is that the armor or clothing does not restrict movement or make a lot of sound since this would limit its use in the hunt and would give away the location of the pack. The preferred colors are green and earthy brown so as to blend in with the surroundings as much as possible. Of course, this depends on where a pack lives, for example, those who live in mountains would use rock-like gray.
