The Coastal City of Caliphus

Shortly after finding the Key of Alda and the Foxwood Scroll, the party decides that they should visit Frith’s mother in Takka in hopes that she might be able to translate what is written in the scroll. The party stops in Caliphus on their way to Takka after leaving the Isle of Baasan. While in Caliphus the party can shop around and buy new outfits from the tailors to match the style of the island. Nothing major will happen while in Caliphus. From here the party will travel north to cross the Yuzuth Uplands.
