Lixus
Lixus would be just another coastal village except for an accident of geography: It is due west of the city of Olappo in Guurzan. One day, centuries ago, a handful of explorers from the nation to the east rode out of the desert. They eventually established mutually beneficial trading relationships with various merchants of Lixus. Aside from an increase in the amount of goods traded and the arrival of the Alcaldrich conquerors, not much has changed in hundreds of years.
The trip from Olappo to Lixus is fairly easy to navigate, but the return trip is trickier. Going either due east or due west takes about the same amount of concentration, but missing the direction on the trip west means a caravan ends up at some other point on the Gulf of Caddesh and can then make its way to Lixus. Missing the direction going east, however, means a caravan must find the relatively small dot that is Olappo or be lost in the depths of the Maighib Desert. Caravaners travel the route many times before they become willing to risk their lives on their own skills, and anyone heading up an east-bound caravan is likely to be a very experienced guide.
