Savage TideSavage Tide banner

A colony of Sasserine's on an islet south of the Isle of Dread, Farshore represents the most ambitious project to open up and explore the riches of the region. Information on Farshore can be found in Dungeon #143. This is a summary of important facts and tidbits, along with adventure hooks in the region.

Settlements

With the arrival of the refugees from the Great Kingdom, FArshore split into two settlements.

Farshore

Farshore (Hamlet): Conventional; AL NG; Population 240; 800 gp limit; Assets 9,600 gp; Isolated (220 humans, 7 half-elves, 6 halflings, 4 dwarves, 3 gnomes).

Fort Alkor

Fort Alkor (Thorp): Conventional; AL LN; Population 46; 200 gp limit; Assets 920 gp; Isolated (46 humans).

The refugees from the Great Kingdom, pure Aerdi and culturally distinct from the Sasseriners formed their own settlement in the interior of the isle. They have begun to build a plantation, but suffer severely from lack of a work force. Financially dependent on Farshore, Prince Henry is trying to keep his people apart and to prevent them from simply being assimilated into Farshore.
