Lathirn
Meaning, without a name
The town of Lathirn is a seedy place. A major thief's guild is allowed to practice its trade so long as it pays taxes to the local government, which is heavily corrupted and often overlooks the under-payment of the guild. The town is a mish-mash of cultures, though one thing is predominant - the church of Taka. Unlike many other towns, the worship of Taka is an open thing here, though her aspect of disillusion is often kept secret from the rest of the population.
Architecture here is very hit-and-miss; some parts of town are more well-constructed than others. Buildings are squeezed together very tightly, and roads are muddy and not kept up at all. The few decently spaced buildings are reserved for the local government and the more affluent members of the thieves' guild. Near the center of town, a 'second story' of buildings has begun, and wooden bridges set on the lips of the lower level of buildings are a common sight, as are staircases that lead up and allow access to the higher buildings. This is a general occurrence only in places where the architecture was better, which is generally in the older parts of the city.
The city is in a region with abundant rain. A nearby river keeps a plentiful supply of clean water, though few residents actually get to see it, as it is taxed heavily by the local government, which prefers to keep the water for itself. The farmers in the region sell their goods here through middlemen, rather than risk venturing into the festering hole that is Lathirn.
