Etymology

The name "Fáel" was first used by Caldian explorers to refer to the southern coast of present day Rizealand that included the colonies of Tyrell and Ealaghleann. The name "Fáel" is a Ghaillish word for "wolf." Caldian explorer Sir Rian MacCathal is credited with first giving Fáel its name after he arrived on its shores and found its forests to be filled with packs of wolves. Although few wolves live in Fáel today, early colonists hunted and trapped them with wolf fur pelts being a staple export and wolves being considered their local mascot. In 1602, the Caldian crown officially consolidated the colonies of Tyrell and Ealaghleann into the Colony of Fáel. Starting in 1764 after declaring independence in the Asterian War of Secession as the "State of Fáel", revolutionaries adopted the wolf as their symbol of rebellion and resistance.
