New Thalos is a thriving young city east of Midgaard, settled by refugees from monster-ravaged Old Thalos. A wise sultan rules the city, and under his hand commerce and crafts flourish in New Thalos. Be sure to visit the local bazaar!

The mighty river Ishtar flows through the city, descending from the Southern Mountains through the Sands of Sorrow to the west. Follow the river upstream and pass through the caves, and you will come out on the far side of the ridge, by the Gnome Village.

The city has a great port on the Dragon Sea, which divides the mainland of Thera from the Dark Continent. Pirate-held Islands are scattered across the sea, and to the south the waters are warped by the spaces of Chaos.

The tailor Akhim keeps a toke or two of weed among his wares, for anyone who knows to ask.
