Far

Far is a town in the Far Parish, Patri as well as the administrative centre of the parish. The town is located on the crossroads of A14 and B45.

Etymology
Today Far is named after Rikkuku Far (Synian for "bear") but many historians suggest that in the beginning it was named so after being roughly equally far from Lakeside and Pearls.

History
In 1561 Rikkuku Far, one of the Synian chieftains, became the count of Grand Hamlet and the thickets of Patri. In 1564 he built an inn on the western border of his possessions. This is considered to be the year Far is founded. Soon it grew into a village where the castaway and the convicted settled down as this was known as the free land. In 1559 Rikkuku Far founded a school for peasants' children. The school was open for both, boys and girls. This was considered unacceptable by the other counts due to people's views at the time. The next year - 1600 - Far Teacher's Gathering was founded. It was the first institution in Synia that educated young teachers who were willing to teach children.
