Description

The economic center of the Padash region. Adjacent to an inland freshwater sea and a river that flows from there to the ocean. Natural barriers shield Ostpadash from the river's seasonal floods, and the flood plains left behind are large and fertile enough to supply grain for much of the southern continent.

Ostpadash has a reputation as a large but essentially boring city. Other than grain, it produces little of interest, and is culturally somewhat staid and conservative. However, a recent upswing in crime within the city, bandits in the countryside, and refugees from the northeast has unsettled the local Obelisk garrison, long used as a dumping ground for sub-par troops.

Local Geography

The Bantine Sea lies just north-west of Ostpadash and stretches from there to the Andrical mountain range to the west and the Whitehollow range to the north. The Bantine River meanders from there all the way south to the ocean through farms and agricultural villages.

Over the river and to the west lie (undetailed Imperial lands), while travelling northeast leads through (unnamed desert) to (desert region). South of that, walling off the neighboring region of Istagat are the Denrom mountains.
