Murad

An ancient, historic walled city on the coast of the great ocean, surrounded on all other sides by scorching deserts and arid savannahs. A hub of activity in a number of ways, from their massive temple dedicated to the Gods of the Sea and Sky, to the famous University of Murad, home of many of the most skilled mages and intellectuals. Murad also sports large marketplaces, where one can find delicious food, strong alcohol, potion ingredients, and many questionable magical artifacts.  It's also a great place to find things from much further afield, thanks to the large port leading in from the ocean side where large vessels dock for trading purposes. Outside the walls of Murad sit several smaller settlements, mostly of cattle farmers and fishermen.
