Demographics

The town has a mostly halfling population, though other races have been shown to coexist peacefully. In 835 PD, the population is 8,180, with over half (58%) being halfling. Humans make up 21% and, interestingly, dragonborn make up 6%, likely due to its proximity to Talonstadt.

History

Felderwin was settled by the halfling Felder clan around a century after the Divergence.

During the War of Ash and Light, the Felderwin Tillage's strategic importance as the breadbasket of the Dwendalian Empire made the town and Tillage targets for the Kryn Dynasty. The Kryn used purple worms to burrow all the way from Xhorhas to attack the town and burn some of the larger fields of the Tillage. This led to the Empire dramatically increasing its Crownsguard presence and demanding a punishing level of additional work from the people of the area to avoid shortfalls, and fed paranoia and discontent in Felderwin.
