Territories where the Altferians have traditionally lived, and where their historical state entities used to exist, are called Altferia (Altferic: Altferth). All of the lands populated by Altfers were once part of the independent Rintschea.

Name

The ethnic name Altfers derives from a compound of the Altferic words alt and fers, literally meaning 'old' and 'people'.
