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 264; 4200 gp limit; Assets 55.440 gp; Isolated (231 humans, 8 half-elves, 11 halflings, 7 dwarves, 7 gnomes).

Fort Alkor

Fort Alkor (Thorp): Conventional; AL LN; Population 105; 400 gp limit; Assets 2100 gp; Isolated (70 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, and use captured pirates as 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.

The population is distinctly separated into two groups; Prince Henri's and followers (39 people) and captured pirates (indentured servants, mostly of Suel stock) 56 people.

Fort Alkor is trying to start a breeding program for terror birds as mounts.
