Ghafia
Located near the site of the lost city of Tinabula, Ghafia
is one of the largest cities in that desert area. Established
several years ago as a small colony in the region near Tinabula,
Ghafia has since grown into a prosperous, thriving community.
Ghafia bases its economy primarily on guilders, an old-world
currency which finds widespread use among many of Ghafia's
citizens. Clubs and dance halls spread throughout Ghafia contribute
to the city's active night life.
Archeologists and adventurers visit Ghafia on a regular basis,
using it as a base of operations for conducting their desert
explorations. Several of their discoveries have been donated
to the Ghafia museum, including the three legendary Golden
Bells of Tinabula, recovered by archeologist Katherine (Katie)
Dodd after five years of searching. These priceless artifacts
were last used by Thadeous E. Klang — mysterious "finder
of lost antiquities" — to resurrect the lost city
of Tinabula, so he could use the city's terrible golden weapon
to demand a one-million-guilder ransom of Ghafia.
Points of Interest:
Casbah
Club: Not to be confused with Aridia's "Casbah
Cafe," the Casbah Club is a notable restaurant in Ghafia,
although it does not get as much exposure as the more popular
Ritz Cafe.
Ghafia Motel:
The Ghafia Motel offers relatively comfortable lodging (one
of the few places in town that does).
Police
Headquarters: Staffed by several dozen officers,
the Ghafia police headquarters maintains law and order in
Ghafia's community.
Ritz
Cafe: The Ritz is one of the main centers of
Ghafia's night life. Because the Ritz Cafe is such an elite
restaurant, seats here are by reservation only..
