Rhotas

A small trading city on the path through the Dengari Mountains and the Mashid Heights. It’s inhabitants are mostly humans, with some half-elven merchants and gnome and dwarf travelers.

The people are mostly herders of goats and sheep, as well as some minor craftsmen (textiles, ceramics, bricks, jewelry, etc).

Sariya (Teahouse)

The teahouse is the common meeting ground for travelers. It is one of the only buildings situated atop Rhotas Barav, and contains fine rugs from Halfling and gnome weavers to the east. It is run by an elderly human male named Rivas. There is a back parlor for hookah smoking, as well as tables for games of chance (cards and dice).

The Bazaar

The players can find what they might need at the bazaar, a community of mobile shops that set up along the top of the step well. All of the dealers are either wood elves, humans, or dwarves, except for the local herbalist, who is a Halfling.

Rotas Barav, the step well

The central focus of the town is the step well, Rhotas Barav. Most of the buildings are situated along its stairs, which climbs down to the central pool. At the bottom is the entrance to the cistern, which feeds the well from rainwater collected year-round as well as from mountain springs.
