“Thousand caravans,” great trade crossroads

Ghazdahar is a vast trade region where countless caravan routes intersect, forming the beating heart of commerce in eastern Sarzalom. Markets rise like mirages along the roads, and goods flow endlessly between distant lands.

Though an official satrap governs the region, true power lies in the hands of the merchant guilds. These wealthy and influential houses control trade, set prices, and quietly shape politics through coin, contracts, and carefully placed favors. In Ghazdahar, gold speaks louder than titles.

The people are open-minded and pragmatic, shaped by constant contact with outsiders. Strangers are welcomed so long as they bring value, and even the most unusual customs can find a place here.

Hardworking dwarf tribes are among the region’s most trusted contributors, known for their discipline, craftsmanship, and reliability. Their caravans and workshops form a backbone of Ghazdahar’s economy, and breaking a deal with them is considered both foolish and dangerous.

Across the region, thousands of taverns and caravanserais dot the trade roads. These are more than places of rest—they are hubs of information, negotiation, and intrigue. Deals are struck over cups, alliances are formed in smoke-filled rooms, and sometimes, entire fortunes are decided before the night is over.
