This is a far outpost of House Tharashk, placed to provide shelter and supplies for house prospectors traveling out in search of dragonshards and other riches. Though a farming community, Zantashk isn’t far from a rich dragonshard field. The local reeve is Duuth Velderan (NE human expert 4/ fighter 2), a cunning opportunist who won’t help anyone unless he sees gold in it. Adventurers not belonging to House Tharashk would be wise to sleep with one eye open if they take shelter in Zantashk.
