i felt like writing some lore for my viera wols people in othard, just some ideas and doodles i have!! "Sfona, the northern skatay viera are a hardy people, stout, furry, and small-eared, they have adapted to the coldest clime in the Othard continent. Their access to karakul wool, leather and sempervirent plant fibre is essential to their survival in this part of the world, as it allows them access all year around to cold-resistant fabrics. This wool and fibre is often woven into coats and wraps, coloured with local organic dyes. Their unique designs and where they are worn differentiate tribes, families, status and personal stories. These coats are treasured by their families, and kept long after the wearers passage into the aetherial sea, woven into quilts that retold family histories before a time the Sfona had a system of writing. Their nomadic lifestyle means that they spend much of their summers in the northern mountain ranges, and seeking the warmer climates of the Golmore Jungle, Azim Steppe and Dalmasca during the winters. They are sometimes seen to have adopted outcast Hyur, Au ra, Miqo'te and Hrothgar in their travels. The expansion of the warmongering Garlean Empire has caused some of the more northwestern tribes to retreat into the more isolated Golmore, Historically the Sfona, related to Veena, have been people of pale skin, pale hair and dark eyes, though their widespread nature has made them a rather diverse people. A trading and crafting culture, their incredibly complex weaved textiles are often sought after all over Othard."
