History & Culture
Strong and Beautiful these descendants of the Ork and Aldfaer live as nomadic mercenaries as equally obsessed with music and the arts as they are with battle. Neither Aldfaer nor Ork, they are their own unique people.
Fa'Veld distrust written words and most are completely illiterate. Their culture and history is passed down and shared through song, works of art, and combat. The various tribes of the Fa'Veld are small and insular, Fa'Veld often war against rival tribes.
The Fa'Veld allied with New Valoria are from a tribe called The Sundering Flame. They hail from the northern Mountains where they were often employed as mercenaries by the Mountain giants Jarls, in recent years however the Mountain King has become more and more destructive and xenophobic and the Fa'Velds have migrated south into the valley to avoid his ever escalating madness.
The Fa'Veld are hated by the Dunduren who view them as the worst combination of two of the worst races imaginable. The Fa'Veld could care less. They live each day looking for opportunities to develop their various art forms, fighting being one of them. Poor farmers and miners, but excellent hunters, they use their gains from mercenary work to purchase supplies and food they normally have difficulty generating themselves.

Fa'Velds Favor Barbarians of all paths, beast druids, fighters, and rogues who are almost always brutes. Because of the Fa'Veld distrust of writing, they are, as of yet, never wizards, though there have been many sorcerers. Every now and again a Warlock of Neneke or some other Faewild Patron can be found in their numbers.
