Viera

The Viera are a race of people commonly found in Southern Othard. While the majority of their population resides closed-off from the rest of the world in the Golmore Jungle, in recent times more and more of them decide to leave the safety of the forest to explore the world. As such, it is estimated that the Kingdom of Dalmasca is comprised of around 5% of Viera. The Viera living in Golmore Jungle live under a strict code, the “Green Word”, that forbid them from interacting with the outside world unless strictly necessary. Those who leave to discover the world are forever banished, never to return. Like the Keepers of the Moon, the Viera are a matriarchal society ruled by and mostly comprised of women. The rare men, however, are still held in high regard as Wood-warder, defenders of the jungle. They still remain deeply solitary, except when they decide to take a ward, always a male, to train.
