Maan

Maan is a village in the Sultanate of Jaida, in the eastern Kaspari Empire. The village lies on the west bank of the Bezana River, and is the only settlement in Jaida on that watercourse. With the construction of the Kezzaran Canal, many barges have begun bypassing Jaidazarri to use the canal and the easier passes south and east of Zender instead. In order to recoup some of the income from this lost trade, the Sultan of Jaida has begun taxing barges that pass through Maan.
Needless to say, the town is a hotbed of corruption. Seeking to lower their taxes, merchants often attempt to portage their goods around the village through the deserts to the west. In addition, much of the taxable cargo goes unreported to the Sultan as local lords siphon money off the top.
