Rashad

Rashad is another important port in the Stygian Delta and exports foodstuffs from Lower Khemit and transships goods for Menefet and other cities from oceangoing vessels to river ships. The patron deity of the city is Hapy, god of rivers and seas, and the high seat of the temple of Hapy is in Rashad. It sits on a stone foundation overlooking the Sea of Baal and the Stygian Delta, and is elaborately carved with fishes and birds. Hapy is revered almost equally with Ra, because without his life-giving waters, the entire land of Khemit would die; consequently, his temple is wealthy and his priests influential. Farther inland, inside the city, Rashad also has an important temple to Horus, deity of law and retribution.
