Rushel

Rushel is a large border town of the Southern Desert Empire, atop the Great Mesa on the southeast edge of the Jholor Desert. Prior to the successful Redscarf Rebellion, the Qadi [what was his name? the one Uuli tackled] ruled there. The city straddles the Great Canyon, with one road coming up the canyon from Canyonmouth and the other passing through the Barren Strip on the way to North Roganhome. Rushel has served as a key strategic location in many internal and external wars. At times of its history, the Dwarven nation of [insert name] occupied Rushel.

Currently, a Council formed of Redscarf leaders rules the city. Notable inns include [what was the name of the inn where Simon worked in the kitchen?].

Miscellaneous Notes / To-Do / Background Info
There was also a fighting ring where Uuli and Aberron went to amuse themselves and test their skills. Did that fighting ring have a name?

The Howling Mongrel is the inn in Rushel. That's where Simon was. And the Redscarves (Ebele) gave them a signal - knock on the corner of the building three times to get a hold of a Redscarf representative. And I don't want to forget the silver-haired lady of iron backbone who had hidden knives on her person - the one who negotiated with Deirdre for political power gains/immunity/special treatment and with Bryn for improved political conditions with the desert nomads. And Uuli regarding the Pencari'dune lands.

I want to talk about the mountain/spire thing where the palace is built, because that's the source of the water that forms a river through the city and pours down into the Great Canyon. Oh, and there's the neat, very wide switchback pathway that leads up to the city. There should probably be a checkpoint at the bottom and at the top, for security. OH and I can't forget the psycho canyon guards, who specialize in being able to swing down from the sides via the bridges. Those are kind of Way of Kings/bridgemen-inspired.
