Catun
Catun runs on ore and obedience. The desert provides the first; the United Cities sees to the second.
A United Cities mining and trade city in the eastern desert — gritty, productive and slaver-adjacent.
Who Controls It
Catun is a United Cities city in the eastern Great Desert, built around mining and regional trade.
Shops & Services
UC vendors, ore buyers and the usual recruitment options. A practical, working-town market rather than a luxury one.
Defences & Dangers
UC Samurai garrison the town. As with all UC cities, a clean record keeps you safe and a bounty makes the guards a threat.
Best Reasons To Visit
Selling ore, mid-game trade, and a UC foothold in the resource-rich east.
