Freefolk

Diverse communities of pragmatic pioneers and resourceful traders, the Freefolk thrive in towns, hamlets, and borderlands alike by forging networks of mutual aid and commerce. United by a spirit of adaptability, they transform untamed land into fertile farms, bustling markets, or vibrant neighborhoods, always leaning on ingenuity and cooperation rather than titles or bloodlines. Whether rallying around seasonal harvest festivals, negotiating caravan routes, or banding together to defend their homes, Freefolk value practical wisdom and communal solidarity above all.

Cities and Settlements: Freefolk settlements vary widely, from bustling market towns to quiet rural hamlets. Cities are often trade hubs with a focus on practical, efficient architecture. Buildings are functional and durable, reflecting the Freefolk’s pragmatic nature. Social structures emphasize collaboration and community, with guilds, councils, or family-led governance common. Festivals, markets, and town meetings play a significant role in fostering community spirit.
