ABU ZAHRAT

Abu Zahrat
In the far north east of the Vandimion continent you will find an exotic climate and land guarded behind mountains which shields it from the Great Desolation to the south-west. This land and its cities are perhaps the richest tradehub of the known world. Plantations, jungles and farms are littered across the territory, extracting the finest spices, fabrics and medicine anywhere.

The unofficial capital of the territory is Abu Zahrat, a city on the sores of the great ocean with a harbour bigger than any you have ever seen. Ships come day and night and the bazaars and market places of the city always remain open. The city is always alive no matter the time.

The region is ruled only by those strong enough to rule it, and is dominated by criminal syndicates and cartels working together for profit and often under the leadership of a single Trade-Prince and his or hers dictatorial rule. Despite this the region bathes in abundance and its economy flourishing.

Abu Zahrat and the surrounding cities and lands has its plights however as its economy is primarily based off slavetrade and labour in its plantations, providing cheap or free labour where the profits trickle down from the top in a system where corruption and taxes are high.

Do not let this fool you however - it is a powerful free state with its own functioning political system, class system and army. It is a nation to be reckoned with as its exotic fighting styles and warriors are legendary mercenaries, and can sometimes be found on the field of battle or in the regions of the Vandimion Empire.

The only way to travel to or from these lands are by ships on popular trading routes travelling hundreds of leagues in every direction.
