[Disclaimer]: The Following Article is a short stub, to provide important information regarding the basics of the Falfen people, it is not to be taken as a proper guide like other culture articles, and anything written here is subject to change.

Overview

The Falfen people are well known in the Empire for them being cousins to that of the Stull, which by extension makes them distant relatives of modern Forzorians, and were one of the first people groups brought into the Empire when the lands that now constitute Moldexia and Falfen provinces were conquered by then King Augustus I, with the Falfen inhabited regions turned into the Province of Falfen, from which the Falfen people held a considerable degree of autonomy when compared to other regions in the nascent empire.

The Falfen people would unlike many other people groups, not suffer from any form of cultural integration, keeping their religion, culture and language alive, instead they would become a rather insular community within the empire, and while the coastal plains of their province would become settled by Forzorians, the hills, forests and rural regions would remain occupied primarily by the Falfen, where they would continue to practice their ways in peace.

The Falfen are loosely organized into a Clan System, with Clans serving as extended family units, with the oldest clan member serving as the leader of their Clan, Clans are highly important to the Falfen, with the naming convention being the Clan Name then a Given Name, such as Frode Vragi or Nanna Torhild. The Falfen worship their old God, Aatu-Aarni, the duel god of the Wolf Aatu and Eagle Aarni, the ancient protector of the Falfen and Stullmen people, who's faith survives in the Shamanistic Order of Falfen.
