Farah' Sol

After escaping Rael in the iron mines, the party travels to Farah’ Sol as their only option to get out of Frewen unseen. Frewen as a country is an ocean locked continent, but the edge of Farah’ Sol is so close to the edge of Zarafell, there is a trade bridge that connects the two countries. By crossing this bridge, the party will be able to flee to Zarafell where they presume they won’t be chased by the Frewen Guard, and hopefully not Rael either. While in Farah' Sol, the party finds disguises so that they won’t be recognized by any Frewen military or Rael, should he be in the city looking for them. However, they successfully cross the bridge undetected (or so they think) and enter the border town of Gil in Zarafell.

Government

The city has a mayor that presides over the comings and goings, however the city is under the jurisdiction of the province of Durah' Vaal, which in turn is owned by the King of Frewen.
