Before they became Raban, Farvald was a nomadic coven that was scattered all across the seven winds. Their members were travelers and adventurers, never staying anywhere too long and wandering to get lost in the world.  

 

Farvald witches thrive on spiritual connection. That also means they don't necessarily need to see their siblings regularly in order to feel in tune with their coven, often they travel alone or in small groups, with their Felagi or a selected few other Farvald. Many Farvald don't see one another in months, yet they never feel alone for their mental bonds are strong and not limited to earthly presence.  

They thrive in the face of change, a vital part of life and living in their mentality. Nothing ever stays the same and Farvald knows how to let the winds carry them with it, whatever unknowns it might blow them into.

 

Amongst the different covens, Farvald was known to rather run from a conflict than face it head on. Their light-hearted and often short-sighted mentality has gotten witches of the coven into trouble more than once. It is not that Farvald don't care about things but their actions are largely impulse driven and tend to be less considerate, more shallow of how it affects the world around them. Whenever consequences hit them, it is a time-honoured Farvald tradition to avoid them elegantly and that seemed to work for a long time. Until the whole thing came crashing down on them. By the end of the coven's time, conflicts started to stack up – with other covens and the mundane population alike, trouble just kept following them and diminishing their numbers. The union with Perchta was meant to both strengthen the coven's numbers and also to form an alliance with another coven that would counter Farvald's weaknesses.
