Delamarra Salt Pan

During the vernal equinox, wealthy camel owners from every corner of Akados gather at the Delamarra Salt Pan on the northern verge of the Vast Desert for an entire week of festivities centered on a full day of camel racing on the ultrafast racetrack. The event culminates in the grand El-Ashad Invitational Stakes Race with a 5,000 gold piece purse to the winner. Naturally, the revelry involves extensive gambling among owners and spectators alike who hail from many of the continent’s most renowned families. Even the most conservative estimates place the track’s handle at 50,000 gold, making the racetrack a hotbed for other illicit activities as well as a target for enterprising thieves.
The racetrack has operated since 3314 I.R. under the management of the Millazzi family. They provide security for the events, oversee all pari-mutuel wagering, and ensure the integrity of the races for the betting public. The Millazzis enjoy an impeccable reputation for being incorruptible, though they also indulge in hard living and wild partying. Ambitious people trying to make a name for themselves covetously seek an elusive invitation to one of the Millazzis’ legendary and raucous celebrations. When the festivities finally end, only a skeleton crew remains behind to maintain the racecourse and keep unwanted trespassers at bay.
