Masunga
This city lies on the west coast of Sensibar at the mouth of the Nassoro River. It boasts an excellent port, and a good road also runs from here to Ompeshi. Plantations as far inland as the Milkapiti Hills ship their spices and other produce to Masunga to trade. In fact, many plantation owners have mansions in the city and directly oversee the sales of their goods. The crown puts certain limits on prices, however; spices cannot be sold below a certain minimum to avoid undercutting other Sensibrite producers.
Although Masunga is ostensibly at the limit of the kingdom, Lord Feethan turns a blind eye to people who wish to explore or even establish small settlements north of the river. He has so far been unwilling to send in the army unit he has under his command, so two groups have recently fared badly at the hands of tribes in the area.
One site of interest on the north side of the river is the ruins of an ancient fortress. It has long been a rite of passage for youth to sneak across the river at night and explore, but a group of historians who want to make a serious study of the place recently approached Lord Feethan. They promised to write up their findings for the royal library, and he offered them the protection of the military while they do their research.
