Culture
The cultural leader of the Feles people is the Throne. The title of Throne is passed down through the house of Greenstir. The Feles people are a strong and proud people. The Feles are known for there farming skills.

On Sunday the Feles people are known for doing hard labor. Also if they are to go to war with another clan/nation they will always want the battle to happen on Sunday. They do this because they believe this day is blessed by there god Garf. At the end of the day it is customary for one of the family's from the village/tribe to hold a feast and invite all the other family's of the village/tribe to it. The food that is eaten at these community feast will usually be Fish, Bread and Steak. When it comes to Drink there will always be milk and wine. All the food and drink for these events are supplied by the host family. If they have a meager table of foods to offer they will be looked down upon by all who attend this event.

Monday is the day of rest for the Feles. They will do no labor whatsoever and will not participate in battles. They will also fast on this day. They do this because it is believed anything done on this day is cursed by Odie the god of chaos of the Garfist religion.

Traditions and Values
Survival First- Through the many years of hardships faced by the Feles people a shared sense of the need to survive has arose. This manifest itself in a group Bunker mentality. another way this Survival mentality manifest itself within culture is that if even a battle or fight was fought through dishonorable ways as long in the end the Feles people win the action will not be looked down upon within the wider Feles community.

One Group, Shared Culture- Although the Feles people are spread all throughout Rathnir no matter where they are or how long they are there. It will take much longer for them to fully integrate into the local culture and identity. When the Fele move to a new area they will group up with others of there kind,nand form farming community's separate from the local culture of the area and ideas.

Help Yourself by Helping Others First- Putting the group well being and health before the wellbeing of the self is core cultural tenant of the Feles culture.

The Throne is Supreme- Agreeing with the leader of the state all together will in turn have a better effect on the people.

Hospitality- (To Travelers) No matter the traveler, no matter there past, no matter what they've done to our people. We must give them bread ,water, wine and a place to rest. until they are able to survive on there own. For any thing we pay forward to these kind wanders will be paid back to us in full.

(To Neighbors) The same rule apply to your fellow villagers if they are need of a place to rest offer one. But well fellow villager stays in one home it is expected that the host have a truly wide selection of food and drink for them.

Relinism- Relinism is the belief that the Feles people should be under the same banner together. It furthers asks for Greenstem or Felesia to be the capital of the Feles state.

History
The Feles people throughout history have been isolationist. Wishing to simply worship there god Garf in peace and quite in there ethnic Capital of Greenstem. This changed after the Akratians took there homeland and enslaved them. This made the Feles people scattered all throughout Rathnir. Then After many years of being scattered and disunited. Creighton Grenstir bastard son to the former Throne of Greenstem came and formed the FGA (Free Greenstem Army). The Army was made of mostly half Feles former slaves who would go around Akratia liberating other enslaved Feles and doing acts of terror. After many years of liberating enslaved Feles Creighton Greenstir lead an army of pro FGA Forces and restoke there homeland.

The First Relinquo
The Relinquo is a term used by feles schoolers to describe the event where the Feles people lost there homeland to the Akratians.

The Second Relinquo
After many recent events many Feles people have fled Greenstem. As many of the Feles still worship in private there Garfism many feel that Greenstem is no longer a safe place to do so. Many move all over Rathnir once more excluding nations like T-E and Niedea. As T-E and Niedea have been presuteing the feles people. Many move far north to Bardonia as when the First Relinquo happened Bardonia was a place where many Feles peoples gathered and found rest and safety.

The Third Relinquo
The Feles peoples found themselves with there homeland once more. the Feles people were still scattered throughout all of Rathnir. After Theois-Essukdal Took an active Stance against Garfism. The Garfist church had to disband after this many Feles stop the worshiping Garf. The people then found there homeland under bardonia protection.

The Fourth Relinquo
On September 9th 2021, the day when Leonidas Greenstir, Throne of Greenstem, died, his title of Throne of the Feles as well as his title as Arch-Seraph of Serafini. The titles were passed to his widowed husband Balloondwarf718 who would act as regent until their daughter was ready to take up the mantel. Wishing then for Greenstem to be closer to his homeland Balloondwarf718 purchased the land after Tortuga sold it and created a Skjoldrbrodir puppet state know as the Second Thronedom of Greenstem.

However, on September 21st, in the mist of the Akratian Reclaimation, the city was taken over by Akratian terrorists, and the exiled Ishelerians, consequently turning it back into Isheleryn. After a few days Skjoldrbrodir and the untrustworthy Ishelerians entered negotiations and an agreement was made that the Akratian would leave. However after a week of waiting the Akratian Enclave broke the deal, as they had win the confidance of Duke Phoenix Ishar. After this day, Greenstem, ceased to exist and a long march north began for the Feles who joined Balloondwarf718 to a new homeland.
