Far Water
Far Water is, unfortunately, an important stop along the main road north of Klestan. There is no authority in Far Water officially, but there are those dedicated to keeping things at least somewhat civil.
Government
Far Water is an independent city. There is no formal, declared government in Far Water. There is a local townguard, but they work on a volunteer basis and are reluctant to actually enforce anything.
History
Many have attempted to unify Far Water under a common banner. Many influential leaders have come and gone. Several organizations have risen and fallen in attempt to create law in the city. Far Water's citizens are determined to keep Far Water lawless, and have revolted each time. The city isn't without a code of some kind, of course. But the people of the city are only encouraged to follow it, not made to.
