~Legends of Absathus~
Western Abesh
~The Tarkans~
Hadinad Palace: Tosh
Hanidad Palace is located in the capitol city known as Tosh. It is located in the western region known as Zarabesh. It is the location of the famous stronghold thought impregnable to any military attack and was fabled for its heavenly gardens, library, and laboratories where philosophers, scientists, and theologians could debate in intellectual freedom. Overlooking the stronghold, was Hadinad Palace. Within its structure it has a vibrant theme of warm colors like the dawn and the colors of the evening. Both harmonize with the mythical energy that is said to flow beneath the city itself. Like a beacon. Because of this mythical source, some believe Tosh to be a holy city.
Hansansins Lair
Better known as a guild of assassins. This location is only known to those who purchase their services or are indebted to serve. However, rumor has it that the Hansansins Lair is on the verge of being disbanded due to its abuse of power. Despite these rumors, the master of the guild has already begun plans to create a guild hidden from the eyes of Handinad. This guild has become used for political gain within and outside of Tarkan territory.
Khara Desert
The Khara Desert is known to be the largest region in Western Abesh, neighboring the Unannaki in the Eastern Regions of Abesh. The Khara Desert is home to several nomadic tribes that mainly consist of hunters and gatherers. While the desert looks barely habitable, one may be surprised at its abundance if respected.
Shadin Nitaar
Shadin Nitaar...City of might and birthplace of the Four Princes...Sirvan, Tarrik, Elias and Naziik. Each son representing the four points of the realm and destined to rule with the principals of honor, loyalty and brotherhood. Shadin Nitaar is located along the eastern side of the Thanahia River further towards the Helias Bay.
Tarkan Harem
A place commonly found in Tarkan cities for the entertainment and pleasure of the rich. However, many royals and nobles tend to have "personal" harems. Usually the living quarters that are shared by the wives of a Tarkan royal or noble. In such a place, jealousy is not permitted and is strictly punished.
Zarwat Fortress
Zarwat fortress was built as both an inland port for merchants but also a fortification should a battle arise. It is located at the end of the Thanahia River which flows through parts of Western Abesh near Tosh and empties into Helais Bay.
Nasab Temple
Nasab Temple was built by the first children of Tarkan. It is a place of holy worship in honor of their creator, Absathus. The temple is usually a place where men are permitted to worship. Nasab is frequently visited by warriors and priests of Unannaki and Tarkan to seek favor and blessing.
Arast Palace
Namia Hadin
Namia Hadin. A sacred place of worship to the Tarkans...built by the first Nar'kesh to give thanks to Hunra. Namia Hadin is also known as the Shrine of The Sacred Mother. While the Nar'kesh honor and worship Absathus as their creator, the Tarkans honor and worship Hunra in a higher standard. They believe that without Hunra's love, they would not exist. This brings into place that the women of Tarkan are honored for they are the ones that deliver new life. Namia Hadin is one of the many sacred places within the Realm of Absathus and is protected by warrior priests chosen by the Unannaki. They are the Takir.
Aza'ad Library
Aza'ad is known to be the largest library in all the realm. It holds the knowledge of the world...It's lore and legends fill many shelves...Philosophy, science, literature, mythology, astrology and legends can all be found...Ancient texts of the first sons of Absathus and their wives and children. From the fall of Har'ket all the way to the present. Many children are fascinated by the legends which inspire young minds to follow the ways of their honored gods. The library caters to many. The Nazemi of Khet often seek pilgrimage to Aza'ad to seek a higher knowledge.
Eastern Abesh
~The Unannaki~
The Zalhua
Mizat
Mizat is the Northern capital city of Eastern Abesh and his home of the Zalhua people. Like Teiza, many come for spiritual enlightenment though for the warrior aspect of their culture. While the traditions of the Lahua are more spiritual, the traditions of the Zalhua are much more gruesome when it comes to war and conflict. Human and animal sacrifices are not a stranger to these lands and are common in such situations. However the two tribes have only one thing in common. Their love and worship to their god Absathus and their "mother" Hunra.
Sha'li Flatlands
The Sha'li Flatlands are located within the Zalhua territory. Like the Lahua, it is also a source of food. However, the Zalhua benefit from the abundance of herds that roam the flatlands...providing them with hide and fur as well as a variety of means unobtainable to the Lahua. However the Zalhua find that the abundance of fish are located in Lahua lands. This causes conflict among the Lahua given that the Zalhua are a warrior people.
Lake Tolnoch
The second most forested region within the Zalhua territory compared to the Zyanya River that flows from the North East of Abesh in Zalhua lands, South into the lands of the Lahua. The Zyanya River is a major food source for both tribes but more valuable for the Zalhua given that Lake Tolnoch has less aquatic life. The Zalhua know that Lake Tolnoch is not a reliable food source and so there is a constant conflict between both tribes over the abundant river.
The Lahua
Teiza
The holy city belonging to the Lahua. Teiza is also the second most populated region in Eastern Abesh. It is home to the reining shaman and chieftain. Teiza also holds and honors many of the spiritual festivals. However many Unannaki flock to Teiza for knowledge and teaching and for prayer at the Ana'talii Temple. It truly is a place of spiritual awareness. However, do not mistake this place for a society of peace and love...Many of the men ad women come here to become warrior priests & priestesses.
Ana'talii Temple
The Ana'talii temple is located North of Teiza and is the only neutral location for the Lahua and Zalhua. It is a holy city for both people to unite in worship of Absathus. It was erected by the first Unannaki before their division of becoming Warrior and Spiritual tribes.
Tepeu Forest
Zyanya River
The Tepeu Forest is home to the Lahua tribes of the Unnanaki region. It is a vast expanse of abundant flora and fauna with massive towering trees with wide canopies. These trees pose as the homes of the Lahua. The homes of many Lahua reside among huts that are built around the trunks of the trees. Several rope bridges can be seen leading from one tree to another. There are at least seven ancient trees within Tepeu Forest
Ziir
The Zyanya River and the fishing village of Ziir play an important part of the Unannaki lands...Providing food for both the Lahua and the Zalhua peoples. The Zyanya River is abundant with fish and other aquatic plant life...Some of which can be used as medicine to cure minor aches and fever. Importantly, the people of Ziir village rely on the river to survive both economically and physically. It is their main food source. Unfortunately, the Zyanya river also flows through the Sha'li Flatlands and is occupied by the Zalhua tribes...Also taking advantage of their harvest. The main conflict of the Lahua people are the constant need to defend and protect their bountiful lands against the warrior tribes of the Zalhua people.
