Far Harbor (location)

Far Harbor is the main town on the Island $$ It was once known as Bar Harbor before the Great War.

Background
A small settlement on the northeastern tip of the island, Far Harbor is the last bastion of humanity on the Island. Once, the entire island was colonized by Humans, but following the return and radical expansion of the radioactive fog that blankets the island, wildlife and radioactive hazards pushed the humans back to the dock. Once the sole property of the Mariner, it was turned into a fortified location surrounded by a massive defensive wall called the Hull and remains the only landing point available to mainlanders wishing to brave the dangers of the region. Furthermore, a network of Fog Condensers provided by Acadia surrounds the settlement and ensures that the fog does not take it over.

The majority of the town's residents are exceptionally traditional, valuing their longstanding tradition of living off the land and the sea. Since time immemorial, the leader of the town has donned the mantle of "captain" to remember their roots as sailors and fishermen. However, the town's current captain, Avery, is slightly more open than the other residents, only wanting peace for her people.

But the people of Far Harbor are suspicious of and quick to distrust outsiders. The town remains hostile to the Children of Atom ever since Allen Lee murdered their last missionary, who came to the town preaching the fog's divine nature and stating, flatly, that the town's destiny is to be wiped out. This proved to be the final straw to the people of Far Harbor, as years later the Children of Atom were banished from the town for their poisonous beliefs, growing increasingly militant.

Layout
Far Harbor is small and compact, built on a dock jutting out into the Narrows. At its terminus lies The Last Plank, the finest (and only) tavern on the island, with the docks to the south. In the center lie Brooks' and Allen Lee's shops, offering goods to survivalists, as well as a giant crab boiler. Brooks' shop also holds a clinic in the back, with a chemistry station, and Allen's shop holds weapons and armor workbenches, as well as a power armor station beside it.

The outer sections of Far Harbor, beyond the condenser line, are abandoned, with Trappers and other wildlife typically occupying the areas beyond.

Behind the scenes
Far Harbor is based on the town of Bar Harbor, Maine on Mount Desert Island, the largest island off the coast of Maine. This can also be seen by examining the billboard reading "Welcome to Far Harbor," which should read "Welcome to Bar Harbor," but part of the billboard is worn away, making the "B" appear as an "F" instead, as well as in terminals found at various points of the Island such as Beaver Creek Lanes where the town's real name is displayed. Additionally, pre-War signs around the town also refer to the location as "Bar Harbor."
