The Forest People are a minor clan of Sturgia. They are a semi-nomadic clan that practices swidden agriculture in the depths of the woods, burning clear, unclaimed forest parcels to farm away from the prying eyes of nobles and landlords.[1]
Official Description[]
The tribes known as the Forest People practice slash-and-burn farming in the deep woods, outside the grasp of the Sturgian boyars. They burn down tracts of trees, grow crops on the virgin soil fertilized by ash for a few years until the land is exhausted, and move on. It is an inefficient use of land but a very efficient use of labor, suitable for a numerically small population in a large area. Also, because the plots are hard to measure and tax, it's a very good strategy for people who don't care to be governed.[2]

Trivia[]
- Their culture is listed as Vakken and separate from Sturgia, indicating their traditional lands are being encroached on by both Sturgian outsiders and Nordic foreigners - this is even alluded to with their non-blue banner, which implies they are ancestral native Calradians in the same way Battanians are, plus the fact both of these factions bear green banners.
- The Forest People are based on Finnic tribes.[1]
- They were previously called the "Sons of the Forest".
