Janib ibn Khaliq




The god of many names, he is also known as Jareeh or Jareeh Lam Yuksar. He is the god of suffering and compassion. 

Generous, good-spirited, and even-tempered he sought to offer aid and relief and words of comfort to those in pain, who were oppressed, or otherwise in great need. He encouraged those who could, to endure their pain, suffering, and abuse in order to grow stronger. He encouraged his faithful to halt and relieve the suffering of others, and to take it on themselves if they must. He is said to have set the example by allowing himself to undergo a severe torture which was unjustly inflicted.

While his followers agree that he perished as a result of his torture, they are not dissuaded in their faith, rejecting the entirety of the pantheon of Southrun, calling them misguided or deceptions.

Beylik of Arah

The Beylik of Arah lies on the Western edge of the Khard. It is a welcome respite for travelers, but it only allows them in the bazaar and the lower east quarter -- that portion between the lower garden and the barracks. There is a great communal pool there called Janib's Mercy, named for the god of suffering whose avatar was slain there. The rest of the city is off-limits to visitors.  Arah is well known for its slave market -- a place where people mortgage their lives by selling themselves for fixed periods (no more than 7 years) into slavery. It is also known for its external pool which offers traveling mercy to those who arrive after nightfall when the Beylik's gate is closed tight.
