Farcorners

Farcorners is Novigrad’s biggest district by area, and most of it lies outside the city walls. Instead of tall townhouses you get scattered hamlets, farmsteads, workshops and washing places strung along muddy roads and canals, with fields and pastures stretching away towards the river. The city skyline is always in view, but life out here is slower, poorer and a good deal more mixed: many nonhumans have made their homes in Farcorners, and so have several mages trying to stay out of sight of the witch hunters.

The district reaches far beyond the gates, almost all the way to Cunny of the Goose on the island of Grassy Knoll to the south. Glory Gate and the Gate of the Hierarch connect it to Glory Lane inside the walls, and the Portside Gate leads to Harborside. In the shadows, Farcorners belongs to Carlo “Cleaver” Varese and his gang, the Crownsplitters.

In The Witcher 3

Two of Dandelion’s acquaintances in Broken Flowers live out here: the elven tailor Elihal, whose workshop also sells the masks needed for a certain masked ball, and the washerwoman Vespula, whose laundry is being shaken down by Whoreson Junior’s thugs.

Farcorners is also full of smaller stories about prejudice and survival. Witch hunters break into the home of the mage Remi Villeroy in Witch Hunter Raids, three elves corner a fisstech dealer near the dye pits in Karmic Justice, and nonhumans are harassed in Racists of Novigrad. Along the road south of the Southern Gate, near the Seven Cats Inn, a dwarf needs help with some stolen papers.

The local notice board carries Contract: The White Lady, the hunt for a noonwraith haunting the fields around Drahim Castle.
