Dahabu

  • Government Type: None
  • Symbol: Waning Crescent
  • Major Races: Cosmopolitan, very few Lizards
  • Major Cities: Soko, Leviathan

The deserts of Dahahbu are almost entirely unsettled save for the city of Soko. Soko lies on the eastern edge of the desert, acting as an entry point into what lies beyond. Dangerous and almost entirely uninhabited, the creatures that can make their home in the abandoned towers and ancient elven ruins in the desert should be feared. Glistening off in the distance, the abandoned ruins can climb almost as high as the mountains. Just as brutal are the few humanoids that settle in this desert: warlords who feast upon the wanderers, stripping them of everything - soul, body, mind, and magic. As dangerous as the hot sun is, it becomes even more dangerous at nightfall as deadly predators roam.

On the southeastern coast of Dahabu is the Alquarshi Bay, which features many small fishing villages and bazaars to purchase goods. It has become a popular destination for Ruefang researchers to visit, stock up, and hire guides and protection before conducting research in the ruins of Dahabu. Floating in the bay, a towering city built out of the shambled together parts of hundreds of ships stands: Leviathan. It is a floating pirate city the size of a small island, resembling a absolutely massive wooden ship, with dozens upon dozens of masts and sails, and a gaping maw that it uses to reel in unfortunate ships and strip them apart to add to the city. Very rarely, separate cells of the Dahabu, Buyuk Vahsi, and Nahrūl Cerulean Moon factions will choose to have a meeting on Leviathan.

Major Laws

Natural Resources

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.
