Datura is a trading outpost and village on the eastern edge of the Kaze no Kuni desert. It sits on the road between Nigiyakashufu and Soma about ten kilometers from the border of Kaze no Kuni and Kiba no Kuni. It is the first major outpost on this path withing Kaze no Kuni and one of the largest that dotted the desert's edge. Datura is most known for its massive market which sprawls throughout its streets, under foot bridges and through roofed arcades only to spill back out into the street on the far side.
