Kullar
Kullar lies on the western coast of the caliphate where the Kula River runs down out of the mountains of the Desert Wall. One of the few rivers in the country, the Kula has one thing the others do not: freshwater fish. The quantity harvested is generally only enough to provide for the immediate area, but sometimes fish are shipped live to Hava for the caliph’s table. Fishing boats also go out from the port to do the usual saltwater fishing, though they are troubled sometimes by pulling up strange, ugly fish that no one is willing to eat and which attack the hands trying to throw them back.
Being far from the trade route to Bhutan, comparatively few ships come specifically to Kullar. The sultan spends much of his time at the court of the caliph in the capital city of Hava. One thing that draws certain people to Kullar, though, is the wizards’ consortium headquartered here. It is sponsored by the sultan himself, who is very interested in magic though seemingly he has no talents in that direction. This group doesn’t mind being off the beaten track, and Hava is not too far if they need some esoteric supplies or information. They study the magic of the sea and the desert, and try to understand the strange magic of spellcasters of the Istaflumina region. Some members of the group also specialize in knowledge of genie-kind, and they have seekers from around the world wanting to learn from them.
