	The [[~~Woodfolk~~]] are a basin-folk made up chiefly of the [[Lupata]], [[Volpi]], and [[Yotes]] peoples, who view themselves as ancient, honourable in their own way, and as a rule put their people first and foremost. ~~Woodfolk~~ families are not always large, but they can seem that way to outsiders; a community of ~~Woodfolk~~ are often all interrelated (either by blood or cultural conjunction), and they practice a collectivist attitude that they feel makes them extremely hardy. That said, their sense of community does not often extend beyond their folk, and while they are seen from time to time in cities, they're often far more comfortable in their own insular communities. There is a strong distrust between Landfolk and ~~Woodfolk~~ communities as the result of past ~~conflict~~, some of which stretch back even further than the settlement of the Basin. That said, ~~Woodfolk~~ and Landfolk who can set aside their misgivings about each other also make powerful partners, and ~~landfolk~~ are seen as expert survivalists ~~and loggers~~, and moreover are considered the pre-eminent ranchers in the Basin. ~~Woodfolk~~ who leave their communities and join the more cosmopolitan parts of Basin society are often sought after as guards, police, and mercenaries, which are all roles they excel in, and even more peaceable ~~Woodfolk~~ who join major cities tend to form insular ~~neighbourhoods~~ and reform their packs together.

	The least strongly-ethnically-correlated of all the Folks are the Mountainfolk, who for one reason or another share the common attitude of being better off alone, or at least best off when comfortable in solitude and self-reliance.

Made up chiefly of the [[Ramu]], [[Leon]] and [[Urs]], Mountainfolk occupy a dual role in the zeitgeist, as likely to be seen as vital survivalists - rangers and prospectors - as they are to be seen as dangerous wild men, up to no good in the wilds.
