Faltheris
Geography
Faltheris stretches across dunes, broken plateaus, and narrow green valleys kept alive by old irrigation works. The capital, Zafara, rises from the desert with gold-toned towers and broad courtyards. Aqueducts and reservoirs thread through the city and the oasis towns, carrying water to farms, merchants, and travelers. Outside these lifelines, the desert runs wide and harsh, marked by wind-carved stone and long barren reaches.

Culture
Life in Faltheris turns on trade, art, and story. Spice markets fill Zafara’s streets with color and scent, drawing caravans from across the Nine Kingdoms. The Great Storytelling Hall gathers people each night to share poems, histories, and tales beneath open skies. Festivals begin after sunset and bring music, lantern light, and dance to the squares. Craft, voice, and performance shape how the kingdom remembers its past and greets the present.
Outlanders
Arrivals from the Shifts receive a careful welcome. Most start with simple work in the markets, on irrigation lines, or in the search for rare desert plants. Those who learn the customs and earn trust find a place in Zafara or the oasis towns. Those who break that trust face exile into open sands, where few survive. Honor and community guide these choices, and every newcomer is expected to protect both.
