The Rivercourt of Hirifell

The Rivercourt of Hirifell is a nation in Lucis deeply devoted to Thalas, the goddess of the sea. The people revere her for drawing precipitation from the ocean and creating the rivers that give life to their otherwise arid homeland. To honor her, the Hirifell people host vibrant river festivals throughout the year, featuring the flying of traditional kites shaped like river fish, decorative boat caravans, and spirited swimming competitions.
  Their rivers are sacred lifelines, as without them, the region’s foliage would wither under the dry climate. The nation is led by the High Cascades, a ruling council of individuals who each represent a distinct aspect of life—working together to guide the Rivercourt through wisdom, tradition, and harmony with the waters.
