Bingo Bongo

**Bingo Bongo** is a bustling desert city found in the Darbuka Desert, that was built just east to the Bass Drum Oasis. The Tuba Officer questions Maestro on your first time entering here.

## Geography

The city is overall structured into 2 large circles, one to the east, and the other to the west, with one large connecting road in between. This leads to the overall shape of Bingo Bongo resembling a pair of Bongo drums.

The eastern circle is referred to as East Bingo Bongo, or Bingoville, they are fairly interchangeable. Similarly, the western circle is referred to as either West Bingo Bongo or Bongoville.

East Bingo Bongo, due to its closeness to the Bass Drum Oasis, has developed to be more of the economic center of Bingo Bongo. It is often filled with shops, hotels, taverns, stables, etc.

West Bingo Bongo is more of the residential center of the city. This is where the majority of the homes and city streets are located. The further out you go from the center of the circle, the lower the class gets.

Surrounding the entirety of the city is a tall, heavily-manned set of walls guarding the entire city day and night.
