Population: approximately 18000
Commerce: Ghagor is the center of Burjmani culture, and a major city within the Mahanjat. Tucked into a shallow valley on the windward side of the Nenayas, the area is quite verdant and produces a great deal of food and spices.
The Codgerhouse:Tavern
A simple drinking hall, one of the oldest buildings in Ghagor, and a favourite of many locals. The tavern specialises in a drink called
tongba, a strong, originally Nenian, millet-based drink, served hot or room temperature, and sipped through a straw.
Shavari's Hostel:Inn
A humble hostel providing shelter to travellers with little expense to spare. Accommodations are spartan and services non-existent, but it's probably better than sleeping in the Charnel Quarter, if there's room to spare.
The Lotus:Cabaret
An upscale establishment which caters to the soul's many vices. Drinks flow, women dance up on the stage or the many patrons' tables, and the sweet scent of opium wafts through a velvet curtain into the main room. They also offer rooms, and companionship for the nights spent in them.
Ghagor Bazaar:Market
A large, bustling market where seemingly anything can be bought and sold. Walking around amongst its many sights, smells, and sounds, your attention is caught by a few things: the rhythmic clanging of a smith's hammer, the temporary tent of a mustelin caravan, and a group of lizardmen manning a wooden stall.
The Bathhouse:Bathhouse
A large complet of buildings down by the river which serves rich and poor alike to be cleaned. The complex is owned by an enigmatic and reclusive man named Ganarni.
Mankara's Manor:Abode
The manor of the
mankara, essentially the duke, of Ghagor. An important man, he is below only the prince of the Burjmani and the king of the Mahanjat. The manor itself is a large, walled stone affair atop a hill. Tall trees peek out atop the walls from a central peristyled garden.
Charnel House:Temple
A temple to Caith Sita, goddess of natural decay, which serves also as a charnel house where priests ferment the dead and inter their bones. This temple sits among the ruins of several other abandoned houses like it in a section of town called the Charnel Quarter.
