Editing Hotempa

Hotempa is the last civilized city before the true deep desert begins, and is a merchant's heaven.  The last and biggest location for desert gear, the markups here are outrageous.

The worship of [[Pelor]], here at the edge of the desert, tends to differ substantially from that of the more temperate regions.  Pelor, here, is seen as a cruel and unforgiving deity, who rewards the prepared and destroys the unworthy.

==Additional Locations==
===The Broken Halberd===
This dive bar is not a place for the faint of heart. Drinks are strong and dubious in nature, as is the bartender. On an intermittent basis, the concealed basement plays host to a fight club-- literally underground no-holds-barred hand-to-hand combat, generally to knockout. The toughest, most famous local fighter is [[Khane]]. He "retired" a few years ago, but recently returned to flatten an arrogant upstart. 

[[Kimo FallenLeaf]] has also fought there, and [[Regina Sunglimmer|Regina]] made a tidy sum when he won his battle.
