Wahlta

Wahlta is an ancient city, once part of the old Basaami Empire, and now part of the Kaspari Empire. Set near the sea of reeds that grows in the shallow inundated marshlands where the Bezana River joins the Basaam River, Wahlta was the primary supplier of papyrus to the Basaami Empire. The city's major industry was the harvest and processing of its one abundant natural
resource, and they had a near-monopoly on the process of making and selling papyrus. Befitting this focus, Wahlta housed the largest academy of scribes in the Basaami Empire, which trained many of its initiate priests, as well as the secular record-keepers of the government and mercantile classes.
Long overlooked by foreign invaders and internal conflicts alike, Wahlta's scribes preserved a massive (if poorly cataloged) trove of records from the time of its founding in 1602PC by Pharaoh Matlepec II. The current governor, Laasel Haura is extremely protective of this literary and historical treasure, and in recent years has worked to preserve and copy the oldest works by both mundane and alchemical means. Suddenly valued not only by scholars but by explorers and adventures alike, this same trove of documents now finds itself in great demand by those hoping to pinpoint the location of many places otherwise lost to time and sand.
