Tarasunah
No simple caravanserai, Tarasunah is a sizable town built around several deep wells. It is an inconvenient distance from the Caravanserais on either side, so people must start early and arrive late when traversing either of those sections of the Caravan Road. That also means caravans almost never arrive one day and leave the next; instead, they take this as an opportunity to rest for a couple of days before pressing on.
In addition to providing support for passing caravans, Tarasunah hosts a thriving marketplace of its own where those caravans can interact with townsfolk and the people of nearby tribes. The desert wanderers come from some distance to see the merchants here, and tribes stop on their way north or south to buy things they cannot glean from the desert.
