Falgabard, also known as Fargabaad, is an optional village of Dark Knights located to the southwest of Saronia in Final Fantasy III. It is meant to be accessible by the Invincible as a mountains must be crossed to get there, although it is possible to reach Falgabard prior to obtaining the Invincible by using a glitch to dive under Saronia with the Nautilus. However, the Nautilus must be carefully placed on a mountain to leave afterward.
The optional boss, Shinobi, can be fought in a cavern under the waterfall in the north of town. Upon defeat, he will give the party a Kiku-Ichimonji, the strongest katana that can be obtained in Falgabard.
The inn in Falgabard charges 640 gil.

This village is said to have been inhabited by an order of dark knights. While the fell blades of these knights lent them great power, they also cut short their lives. The order's numbers dwindled, until at last none remained.
