Massacre near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara
Friday, December 6th, 2024
Urgent message to all leaders of the STA, sealed and encrypted:
Two caravans are missing! A caravan leader who was on his way from the Oasis of Lame Kaiila to the Klima Exchange Point has returned: he saw skeletons in several Kaiila, salt blocks lying around and equipment. From now on, no more caravans are allowed to go to Klima.
The Southern Trade Alliance is currently equipping an expedition. All men who can carry weapons are requested to join. We will meet at the main plaza of the Oasis of Lame Kaiila.
Find those responsible for this cowardly attack and arrest them! We must find out whether they have allies!
The armed units of the STA also searched the area around the Kasbah, but nothing was found at first. They approached every rock formation with extreme caution.
Unfortunately, the remains of the caravan and some luggage were found near the ruins of the Oasis of Mandara. Numerous skeletons of the kaiila were bleaching in the desert sand. Shortly afterwards, the bandits who were responsible for this massacre and who were hiding attacked…
After a long and fierce battle, the villains were overpowered. The prisoners were taken to the salt mines of Klima…. Our fighters marched to the Oasis of Klima, where they refreshed and strengthened themselves.

The Hoy ship “Phaedra” anchors in the port of Pa-Kur. There were exhausting and lengthy negotiations with the merchants about Pa-Kur’s potential accession to the Southern Trade Alliance.
Finally we got a letter:
Honored Yuroki,
In the spirit of kinship and shared prosperity, we, the Council of Merchants, humbly extend our greetings to you, esteemed leader of the Southern Trade Alliance. The winds of fortune have guided our deliberations, and we are pleased to announce that the Council has convened in earnest, our hearts aligned in purpose.
After thorough discourse and the weighing of the scales of trade, we have reached a momentous decision. With the blessing of our esteemed Ambassador, whose wisdom shines like the morning sun, we formally apply for admission into the Southern Trade Alliance.
We understand the weight of this request and recognize the bonds that unite your Alliance—a fellowship forged in the fires of commerce, trust, and mutual respect. Our intent is to contribute our resources, skills, and unwavering commitment to the prosperity of the Alliance and its members.
May our joint endeavors strengthen the markets, enrich our peoples, and foster a spirit of cooperation that echoes through the sands of time. We look forward to your favorable response, and to the flourishing of our alliance, hand in hand.
In brotherhood and trade,
Al’Hakim Anbay

A new Salt Ubar!
Wednesday, July 24th, 2024
A caravan and a group of armed men will gather at the Oasis of Lame Kaiila and march to Klima. You have to be ready for anything. Rumours has it that an important ceremony will take place.
Very few Goreans know the way to the Oasis of Klima. Anyone who draws maps of the desert will be killed. The Salt Ubar and his warriors (Guards of the Dunes) control the trade in salt from Klima. Their names are not known, they are always veiled or wear a mask.
Wait for the guards of the Dunes somewhere at the Oasis of Lame Kaiila. They will find you and lead the way.
Beware of quicksand! If you lose your way, you can be lost! Just follow the guide. [Roleplaxy platz “March to Klima 31th of May 2024]
The warriors of the desert and a member of the white caste arrived at the Oasis of Klima after a long and arduous march. There they were met by a mysterious man protected by two masked bodyguards.
It is said that exquisite food and even Falarian wine were provided.
According to what we hear from usually well-informed circles, a new Salt Ubar was enthroned. He had to ensure the loyalty of the warriors and the merchants. Only selected representatives of the Southern Trade Association (STA) attended the ceremony.
