Editing Free folk (section)

===Armament===
Most free folk warriors wield [[armament]] wrought of stone, wood, and bronze, such as axes and flails, fire-hardened spears and lances, and bows of wood and horn. Their bows are outranged by the yew longbows of the south, but can seemingly shoot an arrow as high as seven hundred feet.{{Ref|aSoS|55}}{{Ref|aSoS|64}} 

The free folk do not mine nor smelt and there are few smiths and fewer forges north of the Wall; the only metal armor that they wear are bits and pieces looted from dead [[rangers]]. Most will wear boiled leather or sewn sheepskins and use crude round shields of skin stretched over wicker, painting them with figures such as skulls and bones, serpents, bear claws, twisted demonic faces, and severed heads.{{Ref|aCoK|68}}{{Ref|aSoS|55}}{{Ref|aSoS|73}}

The [[Thenns]] are more well-armed and armored than most free folk, with bronze helms, axes, short stabbing spears with leaf-shaped heads, shirts sewn with bronze discs, and plain unadorned shields of black boiled leather with bronze rims and bosses.{{Ref|ASOS|26}}{{Ref|ASOS|55}}

Free folk [[horse]]s are surefooted, but scarce.{{Ref|ACOK|68}}
