Measurements
GMs can feel free to use whatever linear and area measurement system they would like, but metric is preferred.
One quirk of area measurement on Farlell is that, due to the planet's geology, land measurement (for political and economic purposes) are in units of Hex, since they have pretty precise borders.
Please keep in mind that while a week's walk translates into roughly the width of one Hex, some areas may have larger or smaller hexes than others (+/- 20%)
Lahndin
Skampwan
Also known by its original name, 'Base Camp 1', this is the old capitol city of Lahndin.
Noted for its architecture, and the ancient House of Memories. Most of the city was looted and partially burned in 1266 during an economic depression, now more of a spiritual center for Collectivists than a political capitol.
Base Camp 1 was the original landing side for the colonists from the Harbinger of Hope.
Religions
Collectivists
One of the more extreme religious sects, they are firm believers that "God is in all things made by man". Religious recyclers, they will not permit any artifact of man that comes into their possession to be thrown away.
By necessity, they have become a very exclusive order, with only one Midden Temple allowed per 20 Hex radius.
