Dunqar

Dunqar is an oasis town in the southern part of the Western Desert, east of the Harh-Ahu-Ra Hills. It sits on a trade route that goes from Middle Khemit and Elephantine into Qesh, or up through the Western Desert into southern Guurzan. Troops patrolling out of the military headquarters at Buhen discourage bandits, but nothing can keep them away completely. Of course, Dunqar has its own small military unit stationed out of a fortified caravanserai, so the town itself is generally safe. The oasis area also has a population of wild sand cats that roam the area, similar to the oasis town of Kurkar. (See “Kurkar, Town of” below for more information.)
