Liyyun
This is the last caravanserai before travelers arrive at the crossroads of Maahri in the Empire of Assuria. Technically, it is within the borders claimed by Assuria, but traders from the caliphate built it centuries ago and continue to maintain it. If military assistance is needed for any reason, the satrap calls for the caliphate’s troops stationed at Lawraqah rather than contacting the Assurian authorities. Travelers here are a combination of those exhausted by weeks of traversing the desert and those who are just getting started on their long journeys west. The sharifa frequently makes herself seen and sets aside time to hear the complaints or compliments of the caravan masters, serving as the first (or last) representative of the caliphate to these travelers from many countries.
