Cove of Otha
A sheltered recess beneath the southern farm country, used by smugglers and rescue crews alike.
The cove cuts into the western side of the southern peninsula below the routes to Elmyard. Orchard farmers once hid untaxed grain in its caves; during the Breadless Siege the same caves held food for strikers. A carved sheaf above an entrance still means shelter is owed.

Farm cooperatives supplied a hunger strike through caves beneath the southern orchards.
A southern orchard town built around the burial mound of the republic’s first victims.

A sheltered western passage where nursery boats and grain barges exchange cargo.
The southeastern shipping threshold on which small Qirarden can confront larger fleets.
