The '''Altferians''' ([[Wikipedia:Crimean Gothic|Altferic]]: '''Altfers''', [[Ethalrian]]: '''Altferer''') are
Territories where the Altferians have traditionally lived, and where their historical state entities used to exist, are called Altferia ([[Wikipedia:Crimean Gothic|Altferic]]: Altferth). All of the lands populated by Altfers were once part of the independent Rintschea which collapsed in the 4th century CE.
==Name==
The ethnic name ''Altfers'' derives from a [[Wikipedia:Compound (linguistics)|compound]] of the [[Wikipedia:Crimean Gothic|Altferic]] words ''alt'' and ''fers'', literally meaning 'old' and 'people'.
==Population and present settlement area==
===Ethalns===
Altferians comprise 14.9 percent of the population of Drakaland, whilst comprising 0.2 percent of the population of North Ethalria. The government of Sarentria established reservations for the Altferians to protect their dwindling population, which comprises less than 0.1 percent of the population.
===Morstaybishlia===
In the 14th and 15th centuries, during and following the Seventy Years' War, numbers of Altferians were subject to or willingly resettled to the Valerian lands of the Kingdom of Morstaybishlia as a result of Ethalrian deportation campaigns in the region.
In the 1970-80s, during the first decade of the Sofura regime, another emigration wave to the Valerian and Staynish lands in Morstaybishlia took place after the governments' Anti-Altferer Policy.
==Origin==
There is no univocal opinion regarding the origin of the Altferians. The ethnic group is independent of any surrounding ethnic groups, whilst the language evolved from Proto-Ethalric. Many Altferians are [[Gadelthene|Gadelthenians]]; a religion which centres itself in Altferian land and which descends from the ancient Kingdom of Uspria. The Altferian people are a relatively even mixture of [http://nswiki.org/index.php?title=Uspria#Usprian_Elves Usprian elf] and [[Wikipedia:Human|human]].
