Faram

Faram is a city to the South of Farador. The settlement was a small fishing village until two Elves, Adkin and Zinric, built homes on the cliffs enclosing the Bay of Faram. The brothers were part of the Golden Order, followers of Akkanor.

The building of their homes near the village encouraged growth, as people settled in the lands to service the brothers in their lordly keeps. Over the following centuries the village grew into a town. The Far Arm Docks saw a significant change in Faram's importance in the realm, as it was able to take on some of the trade that had been burdening Starfall.

Today the city is governed jointly by two families; Penrose and Hartrist. They were both installed by King Tallus I, following their declarations of allegiance. They occupy Fort Zinric and the Adkian Tower, and are lead by Lord Harworth Penrose and Lady Venna Hartrist respectively.

The city is the main trading port of Farador, following the collapse of Starfall during the Third Coming of Arda. The city is home to a powerful thieve's guild known as the Sinner's Meridian, which is currently under the control of Aida, following the dismantling of the Insurrection and the slave trade being conducted by the guild.
