From the Deck of a Sandship: Southlands

From the introduction:

A well-known haven for buccaneers, ne’er-do-wells, and reavers plaguing the White Sea, Mhalmet controls approximately 40 thousand square miles of mostly desert terrain bounded by the Lotus Road ley line, described by some as the “Wall of Mhalmet,” and is bisected by the Mhalmet Road. Caravans experience the same dangers as ships upon the seas unless heavily defended or sponsored in some part by a chair at Mhalmet’s ruling council, the Black Table.
