Rherpkha

General
Rherpkha is a small Amawir town in the South-East of the Aeronian mainland. The exact year in which it was founded is unknown, but historians assume it was somewhere around the end of the third Era. The town started out as a trading post built by merchants, who chose the place because of its location in between Zinder and Arstgard. This proved to be a succes and the city flourished as demand was rising. This required new workers who required a place to stay, which evolved into the building of houses, taverns, local food supplies and even a small garrison.

Over time though Rherpkha lost its economical use because of the invention of new and better ships. These highly reduced the risk of having to ship the cargo on open sea and did not need to be resupplied as often because of their bigger carrying weight. Since then Rherpkha slowly began to slumber and decay, as many investors and high profile consumers lost their interest in the economical aspects of the town and turned towards other opportunities. Nowadays Rherpkha mainly sustains itself trough local fishery, trading and entertainment.

Entertainment
Since its economical downfall Rherpkha's main form of entertainment lies in the old Arena. The Arena is Rherpkha's

biggest building and stands on top of a small hill in proximity of the town. It was built when Rherpkha was still flourishing and was meant to entertain the many travellers that passed trough. However, when Rherpkha started decaying the project was abandoned before it was finished. So it would sit there for many years untill only recently, when the town leader decided to restore and finish the project and put it to use.

Since then Rherpkha has become one of the places to visit for entertainment. This led to more and more attention, untill there even came a champion from Zinder to fight in Rherpkha's new arena, which gave the town a new life. This champion, who calls himself 'The Jade Knight' has remained unbested so far, and a hefty sum is promised to any who dares to challenge him.
