Jazeer is a town in a desert, and a major trading post. Getting there requires a solid knowledge of the oases in the desert, as the heat is unbearable, and nearly always lethal to anyone who gets lost.
Jazeer deals with the heat by digging down. There's solid rock beneath the shifting sands, and it's cooler out of the sun, anyway. Moreover, some of the rock beneath Jazeer contains opals-- an underground house can literally pay for itself if the owner is lucky.
Jazeer sits at a major trade crossroads, and travelers from all lands can be found there. The locals regard hospitality as the single most important virtue, which is the one thing that has saved the lives of some lost travelers.
Never foul a well or oasis near Jazeer-- everyone will want to kill you. Everyone.
