Janaghat (जनाघाट or জনাঘাট) is a large town on the northeastern coast of the Kasaaqi Hukumat. Becoming large enough to be called a small city soon, it is the largest settlement on the eastern coast of the Kav’orra Desert after the capital city of Kasaaq to its south. The city is ruled by House Rakhaa, who are in turn vassals to House Aylarov of the nearby island of Therah. Janaghat is known for the small stream that passes through it from the nearby cliffs into the ocean, giving it the necessary water the town needs to survive on the sandy coastline. This stream, also known as the Jana River, hosts a cremation ghat where bodies are cremated and their ashes are dispersed within the stream which carries them away into the ocean. While there are cremation grounds all over the Kav’orra especially around the Rethi River, the ghat of Janaghat is considered especially holy for the faithful of Therahti, the goddess of the afterlives.

It’s said that the draconic goddess of death herself visited this spot once, and blessed the stream’s source with the waters of the afterlife. Even the small islands just off the coast of Janaghat are called the “Obsidian Islands” due to their black sand and association to Therahti. While many people simply conduct funerals close to their homes, those who can afford the travel take the pilgrimage to Janaghat to conduct the funerals of their loved ones in the holy stream.

The town also houses a large temple to the goddess, known as the Theratadham. It is also one of the northernmost settlements of the Kav’orra, and to the north of the stream starts the Undead Sands known for their undeath and negativity. Many of the Veiled Guard are stationed in the town to defend it from any undead who try to cross into the Kav’orra. This association to funerals and death has given the town an infamous status, and although it is a place of peace and solemn goodbyes, many view it with perceived danger. Many of the people found in Janaghat are simply travelers or pilgrims, and the actual permanent population sustains themselves via desert and coastal agriculture in addition to fishing. While trade is certainly a factor, most of the money that comes into the town is from the travelers and pilgrims that need to be fed and housed in caravanserais and inns.
