Overview

Although Falsford is a major trading center with a large volume of travelers passing through every day, residents tend to keep to themselves and give a wary look to all strangers who pass through town. It lies along two of the major tradeways of the region, the Fals Road between the cities of Thornward and Mitrik, and the Fals River that borders Bissel, Ket, and Veluna.
Falsford lies on the border with Veluna and Ket; the former of which they consider the longtime friends. Falsford is in the last stages of adding significant fortifications. The Knights of the Watch maintain a large barracks in town, and the Border Companies maintain a training complex here. All trade companies, merchants, and other business are strictly regulated in Falsford.
