Fuñta (‘fuŋtæ)
The name Fuñta comes from the Thaebaean word meaning "abundant," for Fuñta is abundant in farmland, beauty, and populace. The Xihthilans called it Ohnpe, from the words ohn and penig, meaning "first" and "land."

Architecture
The vastness of Fuñta is filled with lush farmland. Most buildings and homes are built from wood, stone, and clay harvested from within Fuñta, or occasionally imported from other provinces. Wooden structures are the most common, especially alongside water, as the ground often can't support heavy stone. Stone is more often used for buildings requiring better defense, and not usually seen used for most homes outside of the major cities. As is the case with many parts of Kima, some coastal settlements have whale bone structures as well.Economy
Fuñta is the first point of contact between Kima and the other continents in the world of Eiros, and the province of abundance takes a generous cut of all trade. It is the most affluent region by a long shot, and also serves as the seat of government and magical leadership of Kima. Unfortunately, most of the common residents don't experience much of the wealth, and the wealth gap in Fuñta is just as bad as, if not worse than, other provinces. Many poor Fuñtans make their living off of manual labor, contributing to the bustling machine that is the Fuñtan economy. It is off their backs that Fuñta is able to produce so much food, textiles, weapons, armor, and more, to export to the rest of Kima.Populace
The majority of Fuñta's population––primarily middle-class––works in farming, living out in the more rural parts of the province or in villages and only entering cities when necessary. These people tend to be friendly and welcoming, though can be quick to judge outsiders. Within the city, people become much more guarded, though goodwill still isn't too hard to find.Attire and Weaponry
Because the temperatures in Fuñta rarely get as extreme as other parts of the continent, residents can be a little more flexible in their attire. Wealthier Fuñtans, especially politicians anad mages, can be seen wearing fine robes and suits made from silk and cotton, and dyed with bright colors. The working class tend to wear more practical outfits made from tougher fabrics, usually undyed. Metal armor, usually reserved for Crownsguard and upper class, is forged from high-quality metals by the finest smiths, imported from Bual and Aelfsa. Other Fuñtans fashion their armor from leather, or bits of metal if they can get their hands on it. Weapons work much the same way, with the highest quality being wielded by those who can afford it and improvised tools falling to the lower class. Hair is worn in a variety of styles, and nearly all trends are set by wealthy Fuñtans before they expand across Kima. Jewelry is much the same. Tattoos are less common in the upper class, with the exception of mages, though the working class take pride in painting their bodies with ink.Culture
Fuñta is heavily skewed toward the Thaebaeans. It is rare, though becoming less so, for a person of the Xihthilan culture to hold any kind of power, and they are often seen with a far more critical eye than their majority counterparts. Despite this, the Xihthilan culture continues to hold a strong undercurrent, and is not as much of a minority as some politicians would like to think.Gazetteer
