Forest People
Vakken Peoples - A Free Nomadic Tribe
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.
The Forest People are a Nomadic minor clan from Sturgia, although however - they themselves are not Strugian but Vakken; ancient inhabitants of the land that have been a thorn in the side of Sturgia's Boyars for years.

"[...] The Finnic tribes meanwhile are represented by the Sons of the Forest (Forest People in the current release), a semi- nomadic clan that practices swidden slash-and-burn agriculture in the depths of the woods."

The woods are wide, and there is game to be hunted and food to be gathered, enough for all. But there are some who come here to steal from us, to enslave us, or to tax us. Every spring, the bodies of those thieves are discovered in the thaw."> |
