Hisal

Location Summary
Hisal is a long-abandoned city that preceded Sarantium as the trade hub in the area. Long ago, when the barriers between planes were much thinner and gods routinely walked the prime material plane, there was a war over the control of Hisal. Gods died, the entire world suffered, and the area has been treated with caution ever since. Shortly after that war, the barrier between the planes was strengthened, and gods were limited in the ways they could interact with the prime material plane.

The area is surrounded by its own magical barrier, put there long ago. The barrier does not keep anyone from entering the area, but keeps the stranger magics and monsters within contained.

Hisal is across Propontis sea from Sarantium. It is a week's journey on foot, and maybe 3-4 days on horseback.
