Astrakhan (Russian: Астрахань) is a location mentioned in Metro Exodus. It is a city located in southern Russia on the Volga river and near the Caspian Sea.
Overview
The city is a trading hub where one can buy and sell all manners of goods, up to and including slaves. It has a dubious reputation and is presumably run by a criminal gang, similarly to Venice.
Trivia
- Krest has visited Astrakhan before. He confirms that a criminal gang captures people fleeing south, and then sells them off as slaves. He himself has had a run in with the gang, but managed to escape.
- Given the city's proximity to the Caspian, it is quite possible that the criminals there sell the captured slaves to the Munai-bailer.
