Felarya museum
Ironically, the first and only known Felarya museum is not situated in Felarya but in the world of Arlinic. It's a huge collection of treasures from various temples of Felarya and datas of its fauna and flora, all of them brought by the talented veteran adventurer Ranilla. The museum is famous for some unique pieces
The museum use a part of the income to pay for the next carefull planned expedition of Ranilla. arrival of
In Negav
The Negav Eye
A tall, rounded and oval building is the housing place of the Negav Eye, the best-selling newspaper in Negav, and probably all Felarya as well. The paper has been accused of relying on sensationalism to attract customers, publishing stories of crazy conspiracies, hidden treasures and dubious reports on predator behavior. It is also the only paper in Negav that will run stories on events outside of Negav - no other company is willing to go through that large an amount of employees each year. This work has paid off, as apparently some reporters have succeeded in actually getting interviews with predators! A very famous expedition was the horrific failure of an attempt to interview the Naga Anna Demorah.
O.A.D.D.
Founded nearly a century ago by an eccentric, but exceedingly wealthy, doctor from the planet Verimar, the Organization for the Assistance of the Dimensionally Displaced (O.A.D.D.) aims to "Bring a little bit of mercy to a world full of horrible, horrible deaths".
From its HQ in Negav, the O.A.D.D. runs a small safehouse/clinic for those who have found themselves in Felarya against their will. They take in refugees that have survived their dangerous trudge through the jungle to Negav, or have been found by other expeditions into the jungle.
Upon being handed over to the Organization, the refugee is taken to a safehouse where they are given a good meal, a warm bed, and medical and psychological help if needed. If the refugee's world is part of the nerwork that regularly trades with Felarya, they are sent back home through Negav's dimensional gate. If their world does not trade with Negav, they are aided in finding a job in Negav, with the O.A.D.D, or given the option of being taken to another world to make a new start.
The O.A.D.D has been fairly successful in its mission, and has several divisions on a few of the more prominent worlds that regularly trade with Felarya. It gets most of its funding from donations from wealthy sympathizers, or from the employees chipping in with their own money to keep it running.
