While there are many settlements that are made up of travelers, wandering throughout the region as the weather changes, Muscosao does have permanent cities. Kohsen is one such place located near the "shimmer dip" in the middle of the nation's southern territory.
Made up of large, fertile grasslands, the area became a prime candidate for the nation's breadbasket, despite its closeness to the Great Shimmer. While Kohsen's crops are a drop in the bucket compared to what foodstuff are imported, the settlement produces much of Muscosao's local fruits and vegetables. Outsiders may be suspicious if not outright distrustful of anything grown so close to danger, but locals boast "you haven't had real blackberries until you've had them from Kohsen."
Because of their nearness to the border, citizens are no strangers to the ways of battle. Kohsen even has its own guard guild, informally referred to as the Grave Group. Originally an insult to those who fought so hard for a lost cause that would surely lead to their untimely deaths, members quickly took to the name, instead insisting that they were the last line of defense protecting their friends and family from early graves. It's not uncommon for some Gravers to be Roadwardens as well, though there are year-round, 24/7 members as well.
The Grave Group has no uniform or official weapons. Rather, because the locals believe strongly in the story of The Wandering Warrior, many chose to adorn facial markings of some kind to evoke the power of the legend. Generally speaking, red shows a warning to all who mean harm, orange loyalty and resilience, yellow strength of soul, green strength of body, and blue for calmness and patience in the face of danger.
Many from this city dress practically. Outfits end up covered in blood and dirt, one way or another. While those with means never stay long in Kohsen, locals are fiercely devoted to the city, many feeling that they would rather die than abandon their home. The people here are quick to be distrustful of strangers and passerby, but if you earn their loyalty, you'll have it for generations.
