Salis

Salis sits on a slow-moving branch of the Stygian in The Delta. The people of the city take advantage of the brackish condition of the distributary by using the water to make salt by the evaporation method. This provides a local source of salt, rather than having to get it from some of the larger sources in the Western Desert.
Salis is also the high seat of the temple of Neith, the beautiful and ancient goddess of war and wisdom and arbitrator among the gods. In Salis, the goddess is also revered as a creator, and the one who gives birth to Ra (the sun) every day. Other places assign these roles to different deities, however, which sometimes causes strife at religious councils. Every year, a great celebration called the Feast of Lamps is held for the goddess, and the sky over the whole city shows the light all night in her honor.
