One of the eleven moons in orbit around the planet
Garden, Farworld is a 111-mile diameter spherical moon that serves as a trading post. Despite being far away from most inhabited worlds, it does a surprising amount of trade. Almost anything non-magical can be found here for sale.
Farworld's strategic position in the cosmos allows it to act as a neutral ground for trading between different civilizations. Its distance from major inhabited planets ensures a level of independence from political conflicts and power struggles, making it an ideal meeting place for merchants and travelers looking to get away from the
Rock of Bral. The moon's unique geography and infrastructure support its thriving trade economy. Farworld features diverse marketplaces, trading posts, and bazaars where vendors from different realms set up stalls to display their wares. The sheer variety of goods available on Farworld is astonishing, encompassing almost anything non-magical that one can imagine. Traders bring in exotic spices, rare ores, enchanted weaponry, art, jewelry, textiles, and many other valuable items.
However, despite its reputation as a thriving trading post, Farworld is not without its own challenges. Piracy, smuggling, and shady dealings can occur on the fringes of its commerce-oriented society. Security forces, such as guards and mercenaries, are present to maintain order and protect traders and visitors from potential threats.
