Kherith

Many call Kherith a tropical resort, and for good reason. All buildings are plastered white to contrast with the yellow sand that blankets the beach that the town is built upon. Due to the tropical climate found further south, this city is interspersed with swaths of palm trees, a rare luxury in the northern deserts. Those who live in Kherith go by a very nautical lifestyle, while trade routes are a bit far and few this far south, the ocean still offers up good fishing and an ample supply of resources. 
Like most cities this far south, Kherith is granted security in being so far from the conflicts of the world. That said, not all is safe in Kherith. For the city has no pharaoh, instead it is run by the pirate king Cinderbeard. Founded by a group of captains not too long ago (the date was kept secret, as was the location until recently), the city was meant to be a refuge from the law for all those who needed it. In this respect the city was well positioned on the southern coast, an area travelled by very few.
In recent years the powers that be have decreed that the city would no longer be closed off, but with the grim warning that a strict code of law would be applied to any who entered the gates. While pirates may be free upon the open sea, no treachery would be performed within the king's walls. In Kherith there is honor among thieves.

Cinderbeard does not live within city walls, instead he resides upon a large manmade island, constructed from many salvaged ship wreaks. It is said to be many stories tall, with many plank bridges connecting different rooms. In this bastion Cinderbeard has offered many insults to the Golden Pharaohs, taunting them to dare attack his city. Thus far, none have tried.
