Kofarsi

"Trying to know a Kofarsi is like trying to know a tide. Both are driven by sheer gravitational will, ever-shifting whims, and if you're in their way... good luck."

Kiterina Prishkav (echoes of Lavenna)

It'd be easy enough to over-simplify and say, "oh, the Kofarsi are just hotheaded, passionate, fiery, indepdendent communal trade juggernauts and the grandkids of infamously prodigious privateers and smugglers, so on and so forth." And to a certain extent, yeah that wouldn't exactly be entirely wrong. But as any Kofarsi would tell you, if you think you can just sum this proud people up with a few fancy words, you've obviously never met a Kofarsi before. Trust me on this one, these people have a spirit like if a wriggly little squevessa worm drank a barrel of ethozene, then proceeded to yeet itself off a cliff just for the hell of it.
Just look at our famously strong-willed original First Councillor, Miranti Karsto. Only a Kofarsi could have whipped a room full of squabbling communal representatives into laying the foundations for a unified ecocommunal dream. Only a Kofarsi could've wrangled together the broken, smouldering ashes of a myriad maimed lands into a beacon of hope for an entire planet. And only a Kofarsi could've ended her councillorship with a round of controversial yet necessary thunder.


The Kofarsi are the primary inhabitants of the island Koforos. They have long been heavily isolationist, and as such have a very distinct culture from the rest of Lavenna. Originally descended from the "sands tribes" of Borashta who fled persecution by the Empire of Novosta, they developed a unique culture. Today, many Kofarsi face persecution, and historically they have been killed in great numbers during the Continental War. Many still bear intense resentment, suspicion, and malice toward mainlanders, who they believe are intent on eradicating them. These fears have been stoked in recent years due to large numbers of mainland immigrants to the island, attracted by the warm, salty aired coastal climate and rich gastronomy.
