Farnas

Money, land, and authority. For years the farnas believe that they have some form of superiority over the rest of us. They may be gold-skinned, but their blood is red just like the rest of us.

— Chieftain Nazim 1442 TF

The Farnas are a culture of orcs that live in Northern Aelgabar. They are sometimes refered to as "goldskins" but this is often considered a slur and offensive term. The farnas culture has often been close to that of the umbulo, following similar patterns of governance and class attributes.

Culture

Major language groups and dialects

The farnas speak 'Oljadhum as their main language, with a number of dialects around the Aelgabar region.

Shared customary codes and values

To the farnas, unity is a value that is taught and nurtured through their lives. They believe in the greater and wider community. Politeness is often alongside unity, as a ntural form of diplomacy. Rather than being loyal to their family, their friends, or theirselves, the farnas will be loyal to their community. This is often taught through understanding that one may gain enemies, but if they farm the sheep and you farm the potatoes, you need each other to fulfil one's role in the community. Betraying the community can easily cause a farnas to be shunned.

Common Dress code

The farnas prefer robes and long fitting clothing when dressing - long robes, capes, cloaks, and dresses are considered the dress of the elites due to their limitation on physical activity. They will often dress in bright colours and stay away from jewellery and tattoos and instead focus on clothing accessories such as scarfs, ribbons, and various textiles. THere is no distinction made in the dress code for male and female.

Art & Architecture

Architecture amongst the farnas was heavily inspired by the umbulo during Bulo occupation, and therefore incorporate pillars and open spaces amongst their buildings. However, due to inspiration from 'Almazo, there is also infleunce from natural landscape, such as builds that are built into cliffs and adapt caves and ravines.
Art amongst the farnas focus on plants and nature.

Foods & Cuisine

Foods amongst the farnas are very fruit and vegetable focused, with potatoes often their staple carbohydrate. Their cuisine often involve herbs in various combinations to create flavour.
