Along the southern coast below the City of Oth juts
an angular peninsula known as the Dagger Peninsula.
There is some debate as to whether the name is
a reference to the shape of the peninsula or a reference
to the favored tool/weapon of the lawless region.

- Vast underground dungeon complex extends
beneath the entire region. The labyrinth
can be accessed by numerous entrances in the
Town of Genter or along the natural sea wall.
- The wizard Genter may be buried in the town
of his name. The sealed lead sarcophagus
of this ancient mage was supposedly last seen
in the early 5th century DR. Many people
of the time however claimed it was a fraud
produced to swindle onlookers out of 5 kudom
a piece to view it.

- Genter.
(large town) The Town of Genter is a
lawless center of villainy below the southern
city walls of Oth. This is the one area
in all of the province that the Lords' Men
and Merchant Guard hesitate to enter. The
town is named for a great wizard who brought
sunlight to the town by parting The
Wheel with his magics. The story
tells that the city and the wizard were banished
from the City of Oth for this heresy. The
truth may differ but is hard to reconstruct
because there are no period records of the
wizard Genter. It is thought that the
wizard lived in the early 3rd century DR.

- Dagwurdunjun.
In the 5th century HK a massive prison
fortress was erected in the northernmost province
of the Dekàlan Empire, Oth. Constructed
on the shore south of the City of Oth, the
Dagwurdunjun swiftly became the largest prison
the Empire had ever built. Soon the place
was filled treasoners, prisoners-of-war and
other undesirables for which the High King
saw some reason not to kill. By all accounts,
the prison was a massive edifice that rose
from the waves against the rocky shore. Some
of the most famous criminals of the time were
carried to Oth and imprisoned within its walls. The
Dagwurdunjun jailers had a reputation equal
to that of its residents and were shunned
by much of the Othic population. By edict
of High Lord Sharn Skarçard I of Oth in 716
HK, the jailors were required to bear the trappings
of their profession so that decent folk would
know to keep their distance. The jailers
were tattooed with the Sign of the Keeper
upon their shaven heads and required to wear
the black robe and red belts of their profession
at all times. The prison fortress was
used extensively by the Occupiers of the 1st
century DR to hold dissidents and military
leaders following the Second Acentran-Dekàlan
War. Those that did not die from old
age or sickness within the crumbling stone
walls, likely perished in the fire of 55 DR.
Today the remains of the Dagwurdunjun
still spiders throughout
the Dagger Peninsula.
- Eagulthar's
Rest. A fortified inn within the
heart of the Town of Genter, Eagulthar's Rest
offers secure lodging for those of means that
wish to stay overnight in larcenous Genter. The
inn is also location where Kaithah
Argentale was
killed by Saranthi insurgents in Vulune of
652 DR.
