The Arid Nexus
The Arid Nexus is an oasis city on the eastern side of The Badlands region. The Arid Nexus is a hub of trade, exiles, and refugees from the badlands which is run by a merchant council made up of the five richest merchant families in the city. Each merchant family controls one district of the Arid Nexus each but all obey one singular rule; the Arid Nexus is sanctuary for all. Anyone from criminals on the run, to Orcs injured in their tribal raiding can go to the Nexus and be secure in the knowledge that they are safe. The punishment for breaking the golden rule is a brutal and torturous public execution which serves as an example for those who would disregard the council's number one law, anyone who knows about the Arid Nexus is aware of this law and respects it without exception.
