[QUOTE="Bravesword, post: 6819510, member: 61095"] Here is a small preview of the gazzetter that I am currently working: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Holy Emirates of the Pantheon Fomerly known as League of the Pantheon or the Pantheist League, the cities of the Crowded Sea that exist at the eastern side of the Golden Gulf and extend their domains as far as the mountain rages of Al-Akara and Al-Sayaj, formed the Holy Emirates of the Pantheon in the last century, a group of semi independent city states that became united to face the threats and perils from the Great Unbinding that were unleashed in the Land of Fate. They used to pay tribute and creed to the Grand Caliph of the Enlightenment Caliphate, but became more independent and even declared their sovereign over the Caliphate over 40 years ago. The current situation is unstable and uncertain, especially due to the position that each heir of the Grand Caliph have to deal with these “rebel provinces”. Their fate are based upon a concept that venerate only five gods as the True Gods of Zakhara: Hajama the Caorageous, Jauhar the Gemmed, Kor the Venerable, Najm the Adventurous and Selan the Beautiful Moon. They do not accept the worship of any other god in their domains, which is strictly forbidden. Almost all rulers of the Cities of the Emirates of the Pantheon are religious leaders as well, meaning that faith and politics are very related to each other. In spite of their secular and conservative traditions, the recent formal union of the pantheist cities into a cohesive, independent and unified political entity took everyone by surprise, meaning that they represent today a new power to be recognized into the Land of Fate, since they formally expressed their desire to detach themselves from the Enlightenment Caliphate. The Grand Caliph even sent armies to reattach the Pantheist League into the empire, but the will of the people (guided by their skillfull sheikhs and imans of the Pantheon) renounced the rule of the Grand Caliph. In addition, the brief conflict had a huge cost for trade as well, and considering that the Pantheist League already had a practicably independent management, the sheikhs and the Grand Caliph began peace talks and even signed a treaty, granted a semi autonomous position to the new Holy Emirates of the Pantheon. Even the recent turmoil that affected the kingdoms and domains of Zakhara did not affected the Emirates with the same intensity. The cities that form the “capital” of each of the Emirates are very united, representing as a result a prosperous development, meaning that in the Cities of the Pantheon poverty and beggars are much lesser than in similar cities of the Pearl Cities, the Cities of the North and the Tuiganate and even the rich cities of the Caliphate, including shinning Huzuz. The city of I’tiraf represent the capital of the Emirates as a whole, holding court from diplomats and representatives of all other lands from Zakhara. The rulers of the Emirates know that sooner or later their rule of the newly independent kingdom may be challenged again, and they prepared themselves for such uncertainty. Their secular army called “Sword of the True Gods” improved over time, and their soldiers and mamluks are among the best of the Land of Fate. Each soldier never is allowed to serve in their emirate of birth, being placed in another emirate. This practice enforces the concept that they should be loyal to the Pantheist Gods first, the Emirates second, and their homeland third. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I shall describe each of the cities, considering their recent activity and development in view of the Great Unbinding and the Sundering (we could have a name for this event in Zakhara as well).
