House Inika: Gulg and the Crescent Forest

The smallest of the seven cities, and the one whose people truly love their ruler.

Chapter on its way. This chapter downloads from the House Inika relay as soon as you enter the region. Until then, here's a preview from Balic.

Look for the banner: a gold circle on black.

Preview

• Gulg sits deep in the Crescent Forest, behind a wall that's alive: a hedge of interwoven thorn-trees grown so tight a halfling's fist won't fit through.
• Population: about 8,000. The smallest of the seven cities, and it likes it that way.
• House Inika deals small, fast, and expensive: gems, furs, feathers, kola, and spices.
• No open market. You trade with one assigned house factor, who barters for the whole city and is famous for driving a hard bargain. Bring your best offer.

In the region

• Gulg: the forest city behind a living wall of thorns.
• The Crescent Forest: the last great wood on Aerun, and two cities would like to own it.
• Ogo: the halfling chief's pyramid, under the forest canopy.

Getting there

140 miles east of Balic by the Ring Road, by way of Altaruk and Amber Valley: about a week with a walking caravan. Gulg is reached by a forest track off the main road, because the road doesn't go into the wood.
