The Farlands is a general term for places distant from Altheria, and from
which very few refugees arrived when the Blight came. The Farlands include
outlying islands, the Empire of the Ashen Crown, much of the other
continents, and the regions beyond, most of which have historically had
little contact with this part of the world. Many there only knew of the Last
Bastion through tales from visiting Vaelandri wingships, themselves rare
visitors to those faraway lands.

The ways of Farlanders are not as well known to the people of Altheria, and
of those who came from small villages, it is very possible that they might
be the last living person who knows of their culture. Regardless of their
origins, they completed a long journey to arrive in the Last Bastion, a
place just as foreign to them as they seem to its residents, and that
journey and challenge of fitting-in shapes their story.

With this option, players are free to invent a culture and origin from which
they hail, so long as it fits comfortably within the world of Aelandris
(speak with an Admin if you are unsure).
