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.
