Kuvuka Mpaka
Overview
The city of the Merchant King Njeri Kariuki, a trading hub connected to many settlements both inside and outside Ithara.
The Merchant King most familiar with those outside of Ithara, Njeri and the great city Kuvuka Mpaka stand at the border of the Chikan Jungle, within the Flame Steppe. Kuvuka Mpaka hosts most exports and imports through Ithara, including those under the employment of the other Merchant Kings. Njeri ensures she always gets a cut of anything that passes through her gates.
Being so involved in trade passing through Ithara, Njeri is also constantly up to date on all the recent goings-on near and far. Her web of connections stretches internationally, from Ogygian mercenaries to Itharan beastfolk, and she has survived several diplomatic tussles thanks to making herself too valuable to be an enemy. Provided she gets paid for the service, it is well known that Kuvuka Mpaka should be a traveler's first stop to find help and guidance across borders.
