The Sammatri

The Sammatri are two towers connected by a tall iron gate on the road from the Abhaya Pass between the Migrinásh and Dindima Mountains into the Desert Kingdoms of Farrágh. They are heavily fortified and employ royal magi, sanctioned magic users who use Detect Magic spells on everyone entering through the gates.

Funding

The Sammatri are funded jointly by the various city-states of Farrágh, and though there tends to be intrigue between the rulers of these city-states, they don't typically disagree about funding the garrisons of the towers. The royal magi are representatives from each city-state, and they function as diplomat-spies for the various city-states.

Samma Town 

The Sammatri are also the home to a sizeable settlement supporting the garrison (on the inner-side of the towers). Several inns are to be found here, and news from the rest of Elendar is shared here. Samma Town serves as one of the most open settlements in Farrágh.
