Bassorah is one of the most established cities in all of Rabiah, found in the vast majority of the plane’s incarnations. Bassorah boasts a tremendous variety of inhabitants (from bird maidens to desert nomads) and a truly stupendous bazaar, known for the vast array of merchandise one can find there. Only the Bazaar of Baghdad is larger, and it does not have the same curious variety of goods.

Strange items from other planes somehow make their way into a Bassoran merchant’s stall. Often even the merchant has no idea where he picked up an item. Such finds are often called “Shahrazad’s gifts” due to their uncanny tendency to fall into the hands of those who most need them.
