Balahn

Balahn was a village in Seven Cities known mainly as the gateway to the Aren Way. It was a "squalid collection of low mudbrick houses, home to perhaps forty residents." The only structure less than a hundred years old was the arched gate built by Dassem Ultor's engineers marking the start of the ten mile (three league) military road to Aren.Deadhouse Gates, Chapter 20, US HC p.529-530
