Arkos

Arkos is a moderately-sized Salusk village located in western Vesteria at the fork of the Del'Sarth River, which leads due west out of Lake Dominion. A thriving crossroads for trade and travelers, it is one of the largest remaining Salusk settlements, though some consider going near the town bad luck, as it is only a few hours distant from the ruined city of Kohn, rumored to be infested Wraith -like creatures.
