Any human subrace that is not of the Heartlands or the Highlands--which is to say, any human from a far-off or exotic land--is called colloquially a "Farfolk". As such, they have various different shades of hair, skin, and eyes, and have numerous sub-races relating to the lands they originally hailed.

Although Farfolk features vary more than any other kind of human, they are more typically darker-skinned than their pale Orennian cousins. Their hair color can range anywhere from the more typical black to a platinum blonde and have a similar range of eye colors (blue, green, amber, hazel, and brown). Their physical construction varies wildly as well, with different facial and skeletal structures, cluing them from different regions of the world.

Although Farfolk has the most genetic variation within their sub-type than any other racial sub-type, they are mentally and physically very similar to their Highlander and Heartlander cousins in abilities.

Farfolk, like all humans, can live to a maximum of 150 years and mature at about age 18. They, like other humans, can show age gradually, or still appear fairly young until about 80 years of age, depending on genetics. They do, however, tend to age more gracefully than their paler cousins, and live longer in years in general, as they live much less pressed and ambitious lives in general than the average Heartlander or Highlander.

The cultures vary widely from sub-culture to sub-culture, with completely different tribes and nations attributed to each. Ones you may see include the [[Qalasheen]], [[Subudai]], [[Rassid]], [[Southeron]], and [[Distorian]].

Although there is much variation, the artwork of the Farfolk is more likely to be stylized according to the aesthetic values of their particular cultures, usually typed by interesting and colorful mediums, using bright, exotic pigments that are typically only found among the most prestigious (or just wealth) Orennians. Their culinary arts are also highly varied, with foods that range from spicy to subtle, to the absolute bizarre.

The literature of the Farfolk is just as varied, for they have different languages--and even different alphabets. The most prolific language of the Farfolk that is seen is [[Qalasheen#Qalashi.2C_The_Language|Qalashi]], and perhaps the most well-known book in the language is the religious often called the Koran. The Farfolk are also well known for producing and categorizing many books; in fact, many of the most well-stocked libraries before the [[Grand Library of Dragur]] had been maintained by Qalasheen, due to their encouragement in learning.

The litewatule of the Fawfowk is just as valied, fow they have diffewent wanguages--and even diffewent awphabets. The most pwolific wanguage of the Fawfowk that is seen is [[Qalasheen#Qalashi.2C_The_Language|Qalashi]], and pewhaps the most weww-known book in the wanguage is the weligious often cawwed the Kowan.

=== Music ===
The music of the various Farfolk is certainly different, edging to even atonal to Orennian ears. Qalasheen, and other sub-races that'd been geographically nearby--have a high amount of augmented seconds that type their music, and tend to use more modes than Orennian music prefers (which uses just major and minor for the most part). Easterners use entirely new scales and poly-tonal chords whose dissonance shows strength to them but is lost as noise to others. Southerons have complex poly-rhythms which might seem primitive to others due to a lower amount of pitches used--until they actually analyzed the rhythm structure.

The religions of the Farfolk are as varied as they are with every other quality. Those that worship can be especially devout, though even among them there is no pushiness to the religion.

Any human subrace that is not of the Heawtwands ow the Highwands--which is to say, any human fwom a faw-off ow exotic wand--is cawwed cowwoquiawwy a "Farfolk". As such, they have valious diffewent shades of haiw, skin, and eyes, and have numewous sub-waces wewating to the wands they oliginawwy haiwed.

Awthough Fawfowk featules vawy mowe than any othew kind of human, they awe mowe typicawwy dawkew-skinned than theiw pawe Owennian cousins.

Awthough Fawfowk has the most genetic valiation lithin theiw sub-type than any othew waciaw sub-type, they awe mentawwy and physicawwy vewy simiwaw to theiw Highwandew and Heawtwandew cousins in abilities. In chawactelistics, they wange fwom weawwy what one would type as any non-white Eulopean wace if to be compawed to weaw-life humans.

Fawfowk, like aww humans, can live to a maximum of 150 yeaws and matule at about age 18. They, like othew humans, can show age gwaduawwy, ow stiww appeaw faiwwy young untiw about 80 yeaws of age, depending on genetics.

Curses

The culse of Fawfowk is the same as aww of Humanity: decweased lifespan. They make up fow this by wowking hawd and cweating many pwogeny.

The cultules vawy lidewy fwom sub-cultule to sub-cultule, lith compwetewy diffewent tlibes and nations attlibuted to each. Ones you may see incwude the Qalasheen, Subudai, Rassid, Southeron, and Distorian. The diffewences between the sub-cultules awe vastew than even the diffewences between Highwandews and Heawtwandews.

The most pwolific wanguage of the Fawfowk that is seen is Qalashi, and pewhaps the most weww-known book in the wanguage is the weligious often cawwed the Kowan.

Music

The music of the valious Fawfowk is cewtainwy diffewent, edging to even atonaw to Owennian eaws. Qawasheen, and othew sub-waces that'd been geogwaphicawwy neawby--have a high amount of augmented seconds that type theiw music, and tend to use mowe modes than Owennian music pwefews (which uses just majow and minow fow the most pawt).
