	Esarhaddon views [[Tirione]] and Tirionite merchants with hostility, due to past attempts by Tirione to turn his personal fiefdom into another colony. Anyone visibly associated with Tirione who is detected entering Arda-Mulissu is quickly attacked and driven away.

	Located on the southern edge of the [[Western Coast]], Arda-Mulissu sits between the [[Kafizin River\|Kafizin]] and [[Wanassa River\|Wanassa]] rivers. Much of the area is heavily forested, mostly by firs, arganias, oaks, alongside bushes of peonies and tamarisks. The rest of Arda-Mulissu that is not forested primarily consists of grasslands and plains; despite their often tranquil appearance, ~~one must~~ be watchful ~~in the plains~~. Many predators hide in the tall grasses, and the grasses themselves are often dangerous - many fields contain patches of gluttongrass, or are entirely formed of this type of blood-seeking plant.
