History
The city was founded around 1700 BME, and became the principle port of the maritime Kingdom of Heronbar. Following disastrous Heronbaht losses in the Battle of Four Kingdoms in 35 ME, the kingdom was annexed by the Kingdom of Sann'al.

The Sann'ali savant, the class of ship for which Sann'al was rightly famed, were all constructed in Famul.
Under Sann'ali rule merchants of Famúl were strictly regulated by landing taxes for foreign ships, ensuring they did not steal too much trade from the royal capital at Perilth. This often caused resentment and unrest.
