Pyrameses

Pyrameses is in the Stygian Delta between two branches of a distributary. It is Khemit’s major trading port and capable of handling dozens of large ships at a time. It is also near the entrance of the Canal of the Pharaohs, which runs from the Stygian River to Lake Trophimus and then to the Gulf of Mafket, where it connects to the Ruby Sea. Oceangoing vessels transship their cargo to river boats or to smaller ships that can travel through the canal and then to the sea again. The city is full of guesthouses, storehouses, and stables, as well as palaces and temples, and is the largest city in Khemit by land area. Pyrameses was also the capital of the triple kingdom during the 29th Dynasty. Just more than 500 years ago (in the 36th Dynasty), the Foerdewaith of Akados invaded and its inhabitants were forced to labor in support of a great religious crusade the overking was conducting in eastern Libynos. This incident lingers still in local legend, and foreigners who look like they could be from the hated Kingdom of Foere may be treated badly by some.
