So, the desert winds have blown you to the city of bridges, have they? I trust you appreciate how fortunate you are? Many travellers, whether Qualashi or outsiders, spurn Rakkis as a mongrel city, lacking an identity of its own, too eager to present a façade of opulence to obscure its dirty underbelly. Well, never fear. Lazlar is here to tell you just how wrong this perception is.

Though it started as a mere border fort, for centuries now Rakkis has been a flourishing trade hub, not to mention a key gateway between the Shahdom and the northern states. Though it lacks the wealth of Mal’ala, the religious significance of Xetep or the grandeur of Desh, Rakkis is a city of boundless opportunity, where fortunes are both made and squandered in the blink of an eye.
