Gamphen
Gamphen is one of the locations with an ancient arena; it uses the events staged there to draw people in to the city. They welcome traveling gladiators to events with purses provided by local sponsors and invite faction-sponsored gladiators to special bouts. Once in a while, the arena hosts local faction mercenaries competing against foreigners, but the outsiders sometimes don’t understand the rules of the arena so those events occasionally end badly — which of course makes them wildly popular. The spirit house outside the arena is tall and highly carved to tempt away possible trouble from any resulting spirits.
Gamphen is also a center of cotton production, with most of the cloth woven here being sturdy fabric that goes to the army for uniforms. The city boasts an elaborate temple to Lohfa, Who Makes Things Grow, and one near the arena to Anana, the Lady of Luck and Gold.
