Bastila

At the Northern part of The Ride, a day and a half's ride from its patron city of Ilnivur, Bastila sat as a hub of common civilization in the otherwise fairly wild strip of land inhabited by frontiersmen and migrating communities of barbarians. Where barely half an hour from the city, one might starve or dehydrate to death, Bastila had a healthy, if small, community centered on entertainment, luxury, and some trade. Patrolled only by the city's militia, Bastila's crime was healthy so long as one was smart enough about it, and nowhere was that more true than the outskirts markets that largely traded with the barbarians, travelers, and those making the journey from the only other towns in The Ride: Whitbell and Springmeadow. It was roughly 1000 feet from the edges of these markets that Chris's Gate spell dropped the displaced group of humans and animals into the chilly meadows of the land. To the North were more grasslands, to the East: the Galena mountains could be seen in the far distance, and the West held a similar, if smaller sight. The South, meanwhile, bore the haze of Thar's swamps. They could easily and truly call themselves in the middle of nowhere, were it not for the nearly out of place jut of Bastila's buildings.
