Fal-Oriee peoples

The Fal-Oriee people are bi-ethnic group living in the southeastern most portion of Denke. Split into two groups, the Fal and the Oriee, the former live within the interior Fal highlands and the latter on the Oriee coast. The towns of Asyki and Ero are known to have a significant Fal-Oriee population.

Origins
After a long series of migrations from the Donh' jungle and grasslands area, an intermix between the native peoples and the migrants took place. Around the -1000th year, the Fal-Oriee started to develop their own culture and institutions. They are rumored to have been the originator of the ultimate beast phenomena.

Overview
Separated into hundreds of distinct tribes, the Fal-Oriee have distinct styles of architecture, food, customs, manners, across a vast plot of land. Being primarily suited for higher altitude jungles and marshes, the Fal-Oriee are quite proficient in hydroponics, hydraulic technology, and and many water-based rarodokizai are rumored to reside there.

Trade networks to the major cities of Donh' and Tan were established early into their history, with the inland Fal transporting and producing most of the traded products. The Oriee, with their relatively better shipmaking skills, would then trade across the Denke coasts sporadically. Twice a year; however, the Oriee would conduct a "bulk trade" to the Hneiuyans, sending bulk products in up to 200 ships at once full of homemade products. Over time this enabled a large modicum of wealth to perpetuate throughout the Fal-Oriee region. Large, walled cities started to show up in the interior Fal region.

Socially, throughout all tribes, gender norms are non-existent. With the exception of women not fighting alongside men in battles, women are guaranteed the same rights as men. All tribes also maintain their own military, with infighting occurring every other century at most. Religion is strictly practiced in most of the tribes, with most of the religions arising from an animistic or shamanistic perspective; heretics are normally cooked alive or mutilated in public.

Physical Characteristics
The Fal-Oriee being from the continent of Denke, are relatively dark-skinned. However, in contrast to the rest of the continent, they have slightly straight-to-curly hair and are much shorter. The Fal are slightly lighter and taller than the Oriee, while the latter are darker and have slightly straighter hair.
