{3,5} Maskan Alu

Description:

Dekheta is an old city within the canyon deserts of Maskan Alu. This city is embedded into the canyons and cliff sides. Large open tunnels leading to deeper parts within the canyon where sandstone buildings and hideaway holes lie. Out in the main courtyard the sky is vast and blue. In the middle of a city runs a large river which turns into a waterfall cascading down into a large lake surrounded by an oasis that goes on for as far as the eye can see. The buildings seem very old, but are kept in good shape as the leader prided the city's long ancestry and wishes to see it kept in good condition. Many secrets lie here as recent adventurers found a strong link to this city and members of the Hollowed Souls (Thieves Guild).

Quests

• A New Priority: Roslyn from the Hollowed Souls Brotherhood has two allies in town, Tisha and Cirvio. They have asked a few members to return to their home city Dekheta to see if it’s safe for them to return. Upon reaching Maskan Alu they find the hot desert. After traveling they see a sinking arena. Upon looking about it they encountered 3 purple worms. After a long battle a small tabaxi was noticed extracting the poison from the dead worms. After speaking with her she led them to Dekheta and informed them it was safe for the members to return, which one (Crivio) was found to be her father. The party instantly wanted to adopt Sintra Swiftpaw who was a small tabaxi. The party meets the city leader Embaar Drarakas who wishes to establish trade with Jaytown.

• Good Will Mission: Roslyn sent members of the Thieves guild to Dekheta to check in on Sintra and provide aid to the city. Embaar told them to get rid of the gnolls at the gnoll encampment that kept returning. Sintra informed the Hollowed Souls Brotherhood members that she dropped a special gem she stole from a sacred temple at the Gnoll encampment. After receiving the gem and clearing the camp they returned to Dekheta.

• Safe Return Home: Roslyn has instructed members of the Hollowed Souls Brotherhood to return Tisha and Cirvio to Dekheta safely. Upon arrival they heard Sintra was missing. As the party set out to find her. They found her at the old ancient ruins stealing an ancient powerful gem from it. Upon doing so a large demon came from a portal. After defeating the demon they returned Sintra safely to Dekheta and found out the Thieves' Guild within Dekheta has a plan for these powerful stones, but not quite sure what yet.

Sintra Swiftpaw: A little tiny tabaxi girl who led the party from Jaytown to Dekheta explaining to the members of Hollowed Souls Brotherhood that the city was safe for members to return to living there. The party also found that she is the daughter of Cirvio who works with the Hollowed Souls Brotherhood. Partys thoughts on her: Adorable and want to adopt.

Tisha: Is a thin very attractive dark brown tabaxi. As she talks it’s almost as if she hisses and had a very keen eye. She seems almost like a tabaxi version of Roslyn but little else is known about her.

Cirvio: A large tabaxi with fur of the night sky always stands unimpressed. He never speaks unless it is something worth speaking. When he does it's a low growl and never a kind tone. He is constantly seen at Tishas side as he is her right hand. Recently it was discovered that Sintra is his daughter.
