[[Image:Lut Gholein night.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Lut Gholein night-time.]]
The ''Jewel of the Desert'' has managed to become a huge trading post, despite being located in the [[Aranoch]] desert, mainly because of it's its very good location as the midpoint between the [[Western Kingdoms]] and [[Kehjistan]].
Lut Gholein is a very large and rich city on the western edge of the [[Twin Seas]] and has actually prospered in the merciless environment of [[Aranoch]]. Most credit this to the city's coastal location and strong sea trading ties with the kingdoms to the east and west. Although a few bands of nomadic people have found ways to survive in this hostile desert, most steer clear of these sandy wastelands.
This large city usually has very good defenses, including well-built wall structures and a well-trained army. However, during the arrival of the [[Dark Wanderer]], many guards have been slain and the rest were ordered back into the Palace to defend it against an internal invasion of [[demon]]s from the [[Arcane Sanctuary]]. Although this was not public knowledge, and [[Jerhyn]], the Sultan kept it under wraps.
Jerhyn hired [[Greiz]] and his mercenaries to protect the city instead. They did a good job, but could in the end could not hold against the demons beyond the city walls.
Fortunately, a hero arrived and managed to help the city with bout the troubles outside the walls as well as inside the Palace.
