Wistans are one of the human nations in my original setting!!! In myth they rejected the gods, but in reality their people settled on land that blocks magic from occurring/being used. If you're born there, you can't be born with magic and can't learn it!! And if you have magic and try to go to Wista, you'll be turned away! It's illegal, in fact OOPS!!!!

Because they couldn't rely on magic to develop, they're highly industrialized instead, mirroring our world in terms of steam powered machinery, allopathic medicine, and weaponry (they invented gun warfare, for example, to counter magic-wielding societies, bc bow & arrow doesn't quite hit the same as someone that can use a gust of window to block said arrow).

They're also GIANTS 😊 The average Wistan is 7 ft or taller; being around 6'5" is considered "short" for them. Even their livestock and animals are big! They tend to be redheaded, brunettes, or dark-haired, but never blond.

Faolàn is second-generation Wistan, so he only has a bit of their height and hair color. He does speak Wistan, though, and is pretty direct/sincere as a person like them! But being born elsewhere and having magical roots in his ancestry, he's a bit removed from it all.

And here’s yet another OC, Wista

She’s a very intelligent and knowledgeable sort, though comes off as snobbish. That’s because she’s actually just very lazy. Be it too lazy to teach someone how to use her magic, or too lazy to even share all the information about something
