What Hesma Al-Kesh Kmir had to say


Home

• The Salt Prince or the Salt Baron, Omar El-Wahafi, controls all the salt distribution from the Eastern Kesh to the coast. His two major mines, Eastpit and Westpit are along the foot of the Amikil mountains.

   

• His business and residence are in Stiig-ul-Maar, but the salt market is in Irawaddy.

   

• Westpit contains a stronghold of vast wealth.

   

• The salt miners are destitute men or slaves, brought in from the east. There is only one road to the Pits.

   

• Westpit is a small outpost, with guard huts, a jail, a miner's camp and a cantina. It lines the foot of the mountains from east to west. The stronghold is cut into the mountains, guarded by three huge walls in the center of which is a gate. The mines are entered by a trail to the east of the stronghold. They are situated high in the mountains, cut out of the mountain actually, overlooking the settlement to the south.

   

• Irawaddy is a town of great sin. It is dominated by merchants and is a center for four major commmodities: salt from the Kesh, fruit from the south, slaves from the southeast coast and the secret market of magic from unknown places.
