	Nabopolassar's Host is a mercenary company recruited primarily from among the soldiers and adventurers of [[~~Ishtar~~]], [[Barat Rkund]], and the [[Arrajan Wilds]].

	[[Abednego]], [[Meshach]], and [[Shadrach]], the three forts around the Bay of Ammit are immense sandstone edifices facing the sea. Constructed in the ancient and enduring Khapeshan style, with tall, sloped walls, flat roofs, and many vantage points, they have nevertheless decayed greatly in the more than five millennia since they were built. All three have ports and space for small farms within their walls, to better ensure the survival of any potential assault and siege. The forts have significant underground sections, with as many rooms and open spaces below ground as above. There appear to be extensive tunnel networks connecting the forts, but these have not yet been fully re-excavated and explored by the Host.
