Rassatan

Rassatan was a city in Samarach, also known as The City of Gilded Pearls, found on Rassatan Bay, in the foothills of the Sanrach Mountains.

Description
The city of Rassatan was situated on the steep cliffs of the bowl-shaped Rassatan Bay that gave the settlement its name. The city's docks were at the bottom of the cliff-encircled bay, below the rest of the city. The docks were separated from other parts of Rassatan by a single gate and a long well-patrolled tunnel that eventually led to a fortified gatehouse above the Sanrach Basin.

Most buildings and habitats in Rassatan were carved into the walls of the basin. A typical home was a burrow with its entrance on the city's terraced walls.

Trade
Rassatan's main export was the golden pearls of the highest quality in the entire Faerûn. The pearls were grown in the city's famed and abundant oyster beds at the bottom of Rassatan Bay.
