As the sun begins to set over the dunes of the desert of Quadira, its capital city, Katheer, begins to come to life. During the heat of the day, the city moved at a languid pace, its people avoiding the scorching sun, though the heat is ameliorated by the strong sea breezes, coming in off the harbor. However, as night begins to fall, the Glorious Golden city stirs, and truly comes alive. The mecca for trade between the Kelesh empire to the east, and the lands of Avistan to the west, Katheer is a center of trade, enlightenment, and education throughout the world.<br/><br/>Which also means that it's perfect for seeking adventure; for among the glorious golden walls, a dark secret lurks in the shadows, and sinister whispers abound, telling of dark things, buried and long-forgotten in the sands... which may not remain buried, forever.
