- | === Major Laws === | + | Hidden and buried in the sands of Dahabu may be an untold number of resources and riches. However, the travelling troubadours of Cahyali mainly tell of Milphite Crystals, a rare magical resource found in towering ruins. Rumor states that, many centuries ago, when the calamity that stripped Dahabu Elves of souls happened and turned Dahabu into a desert wasteland, the souls of the elves themselves crystallized with the sands to form these crystals. Whether or not the rumor is true, no one knows. Most people covet these crystals for their magical properties, but those who risk their lives venturing into the Dahabi deserts seldom return. |

+ | ===== Culture ===== | ||
+ | Dahabu is not an easy place to live, even within | ||
+ | |||
+ | Most Dahabi are expected to be able to fend for their lives, whether it be from thieves in the streets or wild beasts in the wastelands. Only about 20% of Dahabu citizens are literate, with most simply having no need to learn to read. This has given rise to a rich tradition of oral and musical storytelling. Scholars write these folktales down when they can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dahabu dress is very colorful, adorned with a variety of dyes, textures, and patterns. The bustling cities are full of life and color despite the bleak world outside | ||
+ | |||
+ | The roots of Cahyali religion trace themselves back to ancient Dahabu. The names of the gods known worldwide are Dahabu names; it was here that worship of the gods was first codified and organized | ||

+ | Dahabu has come a long way from its past as a superpower built on mastery of magic, but magic remains a large part of Dahabi | ||
