Bawaaba is the single city in the entire continent of Great Mbo that Desconocido has declared legally accessible to foreigners. Located on an island at the mouth of Desconocido, it has grown over the last hundred years from a small village of straw huts into a major trade center, rivaling Haven Towne in riches.
Every year the The Merchant Houses of Haven send a vast fleet riding the eastern trade winds, to trade at the town. Even the ridiculously limited and overpriced goods they find there are worth a kings fortune in the western lands, especially silk, spices, medicines, fine porcelain, and potions and lesser amulets and magical trinkets.
