Salt Springs
This caravanserai is unusual in that it is a rough oval instead of a rectangle, and most of it is protectively roofed rather than just the perimeter. It is also built atop the Great Caravan Road rather than next to it, so caravans must perforce enter the town. Of course, nearly every traveler would do this anyway, as Salt Springs is the last place for a protected stop before more than 140 miles of dangerous journey, and it is also well known for providing almost anything a caravan could need. Situated as it is only about 40 miles east of the Painted Canyons, Salt Springs always has many guards looking for jobs as caravan escorts to the distant town of Beni-Hadith. The pasha also has troops that provide general protection in the area, but they patrol for bandits and watch for enemies attacking out of the badlands; they do not go into the canyons.
