Eastern Ammurath Villages
The villages along the trail from the
Three Towers to Quodeth are typical Ammurath hill forts. Built from field stone and supported with
wooden palisades. Each village is led by
a female chief, as is the custom in the region.
Banutre
Pop. c.200 Veetal Statisix is the chief of the village. Middle-aged, big bellied with red hair and pigtails. She is generally reasonable, well-informed, fearless, even-tempered and unambitious. The village strategically placed atop a steep hill is stoutly fortified and surrounded by cunning traps. Well armed warriors patrol the lands surrounding the village and guard the palisade walls. The warriors have bronze weapons and hide armour and shields. Farming implements and tools are also available. (Geetafix the halfelf Druid might have a few potions, if she can be found). The village main trade is wool, there are plenty of sheep.
Taarbo
Pop. 150. Large village. Chief Amarla (a wise but cautious old warrior). The villagers
Taarbo are great hunters and herders.
They usually enjoy a lively trade in musk oxen and the shaggy Kurmanur
ponies as well as more exotic beasts for the arena. Silivia the Beastmaster is well known here.
Dryeth
Pop 300. Chief Belshirr (Belshirr
became chieftain recently when her mother retired). The Ammurath here are on very good terms with
Quodeth (they sell a lot of fish in the city).
There is a small Quodethi Naval presence in the busy harbour (single banked Liburnian with thirty
rowers commanded by Optio Bronn).
Three Towers
Pop c.2000 Three Towers is a bustling port named
for the three great towers that dominate the stone harbour. Following Quodethi expansion/liberation a contingent of Quodethi military is based here. The trireme Urugan is stationed here, along with a naval garrison (including half a century of the elite marinus). The docks and city walls team with activity as they are improved.
Three Towers Garrison. Commodore Janir and her officers command 20 Marinus (Legionnaires) and 50 Dockworkers (level 1 shipwrights, carpenters,
teamsters, cooks etc…) and the War Galley Urugan, a trireme is permanently stationed at
Three Towers. The Urugan is captained by centurion Zemar , optio Cypher,
20 Marinus (Legionnaires) and 148 Sailors & Rowers (Fighters Level 1: 84,

The Bazaar
The market is a fraction of the size
of the great bazaar at Quodeth but no less busy, even in the long night. All manner of goods can be purchased. Urchins prowl the bazaar stealing
and begging.

The Marsh of Hurth
The undulating and broken wetlands of
Hurth is foul, sulfurous miasma clings to the water and steams from
rents in the earth. Among the villages
bordering the marsh rumours of a lost Nesskian city compete with the legend of
the giant Lokra who once made the volcano that dominates the region home.
Lokra's Tower
A classic Atlantean mispronunciation of Dhari. Atlantean cartographers called it Lokano's Tower, but it is in fact a slumbering volcano that dominates the Marsh of Hurth. Legend has it Lokra a giant, gave the volcano its name.
Nesskian Ruins
Both scholars and some of the older villagers believe the treasures if the lost city of Hurth Nessk lies hidden in the marsh.
Kurmanur Wilds
The Kurmanur Wilds is hard country. Steep forested hills, narrow valleys
and plunging ravines define the terrain.
Wild herds of sure-footed ponies, musk ox and the hardy thulian goat
roam the backwoods and high pastures.
City of the Risen Apes
High in the wilds legend has it there is a city of apes.
Saravin Bay
In the end Ozric's Tentacles will drown us all. Or so say the mad cultists.
Jal Dror Island
Little is known about the Veilshard Monastry on Jal Dror Island. The monks are secretive and shun outsiders.
Ryliri Coast
Busy shipping routes of the Ryliri coast open access to
Kal Zinan to the East and the Southern cities Marg, Su Mel, Imystrahl , Ruritain and Katagia.
The Emperor of the Waves
Flagship of merchant prince Aubrek's fleet. Lost, presumed sunk fifteen years ago. The loss of the Emperor, ruined Aubrek.
