The Fuath (lit. 'hatred') are a humanoid people living to the west of Moorland in the Green beyond the borders of Burwood, Nevermoor, and Huntsland. Primarily occupying desolate areas in the space between Moorland and the Strait of Haifa. They are a malevolent people that are generally hostile to all other forms of life, making their homes in isolated glens and other inhospitable regions. Occasionally they are known to raid the frontier of Moorland, often stealing goods such as food and weapons, before retreating back to their settlements. The MAF has had difficulty in tracking them as the kingdom has no desire to expand westward and Fuath settlements are not static, often moving seasonally or as resources are depleted.

Fuath are described as diminutive humanoids, standing no taller than 1.2m, and while anthropological studies are lacking, it has been suggested that they are a degenerate population of Alperkin that have further descended into barbarism after years of Noctic-Rabrev consumption. They have no association or familial ties with the Alpazkigz tribes around Lake Morovia or Bassaridia Vaeringheim, and indeed are equally hostile to those people as well. One simple method of identification is by their webbed feet and hands, pointed ears (similar to the Alperkin), and mottled green-grey skin.

More recently, the Fuath have come into conflict with the nomadic Qeltois tribes that have migrated into the region from Lake Caledonia due to conflicts in Cerulea. Moorland has been assisting the Qeltois by arming them for defense and offering humanitarian assistance.
