Land's End

Land's End is a settlement located on the outskirts of the Farenian Empire, far away from its capital. It has been an independent city since before anyone could remember, and it is known for its fiercely independent spirit. Even though Land's End is part of the empire, it is mostly free from government control and regulation. It has no taxes and no laws other than the ones that the people have decided on themselves.
The people who live in this remote corner of the world are hardy folk who value their independence above all else, and they survive mainly by fishing off the coast, harvesting timber from nearby forests, and trading with merchants from other parts of the empire. This makes them mostly self-sufficient, but it also puts them in conflict with imperial authorities when trade disputes or disagreements about autonomy cause tensions to rise.

Land's End by Tillerz using MJ

Life in Land’s End can be dangerous as well due to frequent pirate raids along its coastline; however, most locals take these threats in stride as a way of life, knowing full well how to protect themselves should trouble come calling again soon enough. In spite of this tumultuous environment, there’s still a strong sense of community among residents, making sure everyone looks out for one another regardless of whether you're family members or not - a trait passed down through generations that serves as a testament to their tenacity even while living on what some might consider "the edge" within Farenia's borders.
