Farania

Farania is a modestly sized nation based in Onthukhan, with additional territories in both Haven and Leifmyrr. It is well known for it's pacifism, Vodka, and cultural diversity.

Culture
The nation of Farania has many diverse and unique cultures for it's size. From Fungus based elves to semi-vampiric bugs, people of all shapes and sizes call Farania home.

Settlers
A mixture between vladic culture and an ensemble of others, the Settler culture was naturally created overtime as the various smaller cultures mixed and mingled with each other. The "default" culture of Farania, Settlers can often be identified by their simple, flowing and bright colored garments. Magic is also quite common, with many seeing it as a blessing. This initially caused some tension with the vladic peoples, but as time went on, they accepted that other cultures have other rules. A large portion of them are also pacifistic, as most families came from war-torn places. Dishes vary, with pancakes and the ancient table soup being favorites. Many follow the Faith of the Spark, as it allows most beliefs to coexist, reducing conflict.

Vladic people
From Skjoldrbrodir's colonization of the land up until recently, Vladic people have made up the bulk of Farania's population. While other cultures have overtaken them in recent years, Vladic peoples have certainly left their mark on the land, having historically been the driving force behind Zanathia (pre ressetlement), Faxeholm, and Everfrost. Many of these people follow Nyr Nostiker, though in recent years many have converted to the Faith of the Spark, due to it being less restricting.

Luxensteiner
The Luxensteiners were among the first settlers of Farania, creating the village of Luxenstein in the northeast corner of the Ess Thalor province. Shortly after their arrival, they were discovered by the people of Skjoldrbrodir, who quickly ousted them, though not before they were able to partake in the Larp Rebellion.

Locations and cities
Farania has many fascinating locations, including many natural wonders such as the inactive volcano of Asharilith, the volcanic hotsprings of Misthaven, the great forest of the black timberlands, the magical raspberry thicket, the great and ancient Silver highlands, the mighty Mount Faxen, the glacier of Everfrost, and the magical and cursed Swarm Islands, in addition to an ensemble of floating islands.
