Farr Windward

Farr Windward was a small settlement close to Orlumbor; the population was strictly limited to outcasts, and their descendants, from many cities of the Sword Coast. "This is a village of misfits. Perhaps their power in their home city was too great to let them remain free, but execution would only make them martyrs."

- Description of Farr Windward

Geography
Farr Windward was to the west of Orlumbor, on the other side of a long, winding, mountainous tunnel trail. Due to the treacherous, sunless, and monster-filled path, it could take adventurers days to reach the high-up village.

The village was built upon a rocky peninsula, atop soaring cliffs. As the far descent to the sea below was very rocky, escaping was almost impossible. The only other way out was through the vigilant guards, or death via "The Leap".

Government
The state did not seem to have its own government. Instead, it was maintained by the major cities of the Sword Coast. However, the small settlement had some citizens that appeared to lead and guide the others.

Trade
Although Farr Windward did not have the allowance of free trade, many residents invented and sold useful items, such as magical shoes.

History
In 1358 DR, the inhabitants had finally had enough of being treated like prisoners. Thus, Haalbok and Ougo had devised a plan to free the people of Farr Windward forever.

Inhabitants
All in the small community had been banished from their original settlements, either due to their power, unconventional lifestyles, or craziness. Guards roamed the cities, and kept records of the inmates.

Every inhabitant of Farr Windward had a large red-circle brand on their forearm. The brand indicated that they were part of the community, and could never leave. The brand also symbolized that, if they were able to miraculously escape, they were deranged and unable to fit in with society. If one tried to leave, or helped them to leave, the penalty was death.
