As one approaches the City of Nashaki, trains of caravans lead through the sprawling outskirts to the numerous open city gates. The largest gate is on the west side and leads past the fortified walls into an octagon of eight districts. Each district features unique markets and is maintained by one of the eight Towers that rule Nashaki. In the city, heavily guarded, is the prized oasis that supports the Nashaki people to flourish in such an unforgiving land.

Outskirts
Outside the city gates, caravans and tents provide cheap but risky shelter for those just arriving to the city of Nashaki. Traveling merchants and adventurers can find stables, stands, and temporary encampments lining the exterior of the city walls. Less fortunate locals reside among the slums, left mostly exposed to the elements.

[Nashaki Caravansary] The Waiting
Having murdered Qais for his alleged, planned betrayal, Demda has to fend for herself for a time. Biding her time until the Caravansary is ready to move on from Nashaki, she acquires some needed supplies while avoiding anyone she knows.
