| THE GREAT SCRUB |
|
The
Great Scrub is a large area of desert and rocky landscape in the West.
This barren area is mostly uninhabited, although a few caravans of
traders sometimes pass through. There is a river that passes through the
Scrub in a deep and otherwise dry ravine. There is also an oasis or
waterhole at the centre of the northern part of the Great Scrub. |
| SULTANATE OF SUNSIA |
|
The
Sultanate of Sunsia is a fairly poor country sandwiched between the
Great Scrub to the north and Nintar Forest to the south. The City does,
however control both routes from the hot countries in the west to the
cooler countries in the east. The Sultan takes great delight in taxing
any caravans that pass through his lands heavily and since the trek over
the mountains is very arduous these taxes only reduce the profitability
of such caravans even further. For these reasons they are rather rare
and western traders are not often seen East of the mountains. |
