	Al Kathos is a very poor and barren domain; the places Malbus controls are vigorously policed, but outside of the towns and a few trade routs the domain is essentially lawless, with all the tribesmen willing to turn bandit at a moment's notice. Worse than bandits also make their homes in the deep desert. {{Spec\| The population is hot blooded and has a strong tendency for violence and criminal behavior. Not all are criminals by any means, but the poverty of the domain makes it necessary for some to steal in order to live.}} The Sand Singers, the wraiths of harpies of the desert, lure men to their death, while priests of Set find followers to their evil cult and capture others to sacrifice to him. There are about twice as many women born in this domain as men, as this taunts the lusty [[darklord]] and keeps the population up in spite of all the violence. In addition, Malbus is cursed with a fear of women; he fears the women he lusts after and is scared of that fact getting out.

The greater number of women than men has effected the domain strongly. Not only are virtually all men married, but most merchants have two wives and rich merchants and nobles have 4 or more. Although many men outside of the domain are envious of this fact, the men of Al-Kathos know there is a downside to it as well. Not only is it expensive to have four wives, the population's strong tendency to chaotic alignments frequently leads to quarrels between co-wives. As a large number of wives often equals a large number of children, the domain's tendency to chaotic alignments likewise leads to quarrels between these offspring. The large number of women does however provide numerous opportunities for political marriages. [This strikes me as a bit odd.

The many women in the domain taunt him by their very presence; he wants to get close to them but cannot, as his fear of them grows stronger the closer they draw near to him. He hopes that by having them sacrificed to Bel he will overcome his fear but he will not.
