Assam is a bustling trade hub set along the northern edge of the Shining Plains, surrounded not by walls but by a sea of wagons, caravans, and livestock. Known for its thriving tanneries and slaughterhouses, Assam’s economy is driven by merchants who operate with minimal restrictions. Though nominally under the protection of the larger cities Lheshayl and Ormath, Assam maintains a sizable militia to ensure order within its limits. Hunters flock here in late summer and autumn for the city’s frequent sanctioned hunts. A mysterious one-way portal lies in ancient ruins to the northwest, connecting Assam to distant Kara-Tur. The city is overseen by the astute Honlinar Tempest, a skilled mayor who preserves trade stability by deftly navigating regional politics.

Tents, wagons, and corrals stretch in chaotic lines around Assam’s low-slung buildings, the scent of leather, smoke, and livestock thick in the air. Traders haggle beneath open pavilions while hunters prep gear beside drying hides. No walls mark the city’s edge—just dust trails, distant fires, and the hum of constant movement. In the northwest, crumbled ruins shimmer faintly in the heat, hiding secrets in the stone.
