Maharsht (pronounced mah-HAR-sht) is a small city on the western coast of the island of Nivaria at the gates of the Chaska Sea. The city's inhabitants are an eclectic mix, a combination of Tamkaranu, Bronze-Armed, and Meklovian heritage. Shrines to Chaskan and Talgazan deities alike can be found within the city, often visited by the same worshipers.
The people of Maharsht tolerate the presence of the pirates that visit their port only so long as they engage in no violence or crime while in or near the harbor.
