World of The Actuality

Fartown

Fartown’s population is likely about 100,000 people, and probably around half of those are vislae. With so much spellcasting and magic use occurring in one district in the city on an almost continual basis, it’s a wonder that Fartown remains in existence at all. Travelers reach Fartown through a large archway located beside the Narrow Sannyasa River, opposite the Hollows. It’s never locked or guarded, but many people believe that it’s impossible to pass through without it being noted and recorded by the Angular Serpentine. There is no feeling of transition when you pass through this arch, so it’s easy to forget that one has actually passed into another world entirely.  

MOOD AND FEEL

In Fartown, every building is a story, and every story is surreal. Sprawling mansions sit next to tiny, crooked houses. Twisting towers reach to a sky filled with living hot-air balloons, giant moths, and inexplicably floating people. A 1960s New York Yellow Cab drives down the street past a fish-headed man selling newspapers. This is the most surreal part of a surreal city. It is autumn. Always autumn. Fartown is the vislae district. And it suits them well. Fartown exists as a 5-mile (8 km) long mass of solid ground with trees and grass as well as streets and buildings. However, at the edges of its perimeter, beyond sections of Ruined Expanses, space and time become blurry and seep slowly into an unknown elsewhere.
