Alhat Crossing

Alhat Crossing is a place steeped in mystery and secrets. The small hamlet is hidden away in the eastern centre of Rhyte, accessible only by a winding, narrow river and otherwise protected by dangerous rock formation. This rock has guarded gates that were bore pd through to allow carts to pass. Due to this river and its accessibility, this crossing is known to be a place to move secret or illegal items in and out of the desert. Its population is almost exclusively made up of the Caluan people who worship the Siroccan Pantheon. The Vasili who leads this place, Arch Admuril, is known to be a reclusive and enigmatic figure.
  Alhat Crossing is a hub for underground trade and transportation, thanks to its elaborate system of tunnels that run beneath the settlement. Few outsiders have ever been allowed to enter these tunnels, and even fewer have emerged with any knowledge of their secrets. The hamlet itself is small and unassuming, with modest buildings and a simple marketplace. But there is an air of secrecy and mistrust that hangs over the place, as though the locals are always wary of outsiders and their intentions.
  The river on which the settlement rests is vital to its survival, providing water and a means of transportation for the few traders and travellers. But it is also a source of danger, as rumours persist of deadly creatures lurking in the water.
