Introduction to Al'Taj

Brave adventurer, heed the call to Al’Taj, where sun-drenched deserts and untold mysteries await your daring spirit. Picture a vast land, weathered by the echoes of ancient empires and guarded by the enigmatic Amulet of the Eternal Sun—an artifact whispered of in every tavern and campfire tale.
Embark on your journey in Qahir, a realm of semi-arid wonder where the Coastal City of Kestor’s Past beckons. Governed by the eternally reincarnating Kestor, blessed by Thassa herself, this city-state opens its gates to outsiders. Immerse yourself in fair rule and an exploratory spirit as you tread the path into the heart of Al’Taj.
Venture forth into Ushim, the great desert that separates fools from heroes. Feel the sting of extreme temperatures, seek respite in sporadic oases, and yearn for the Oasis of Taz—a distant mirage of promise. To the south lies Atanya, with its red sands and the mysterious Citystate of Aecho perched on the edge of the canyon.
Seek refuge in Bongani, where temperate grasslands and jungles cradle hidden wonders. Amidst lakes and uncharted terrain, rumors swirl of a city concealed within the verdant embrace. Be wary of the unknown beyond the center—tales of a glass desert, dragons in the northern mountains, and carnivorous plants to the far east.
Al’Taj’s people, resilient and diverse, weave a tapestry of cultures bound by a shared need for cooperation. Seek out druidic enclaves, where communion with nature transcends the boundaries of rocks, sand, rivers, and wind. Engage with Amulet-Hunters, factions like the Cabal of Blood and The Golden Dawn, as they vie for control of the elusive artifact.
The Delver’s Guild, a neutral force, threads through the continent, offering opportunities for exploration and resource gathering. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a greenhorn, Al’Taj calls to those who seek adventure, survival, and the unseen secrets that linger beneath the eternal sun.
Ready yourself, adventurer, as you stand on the precipice of Al’Taj, where every step unfolds a new chapter in your tale. May your courage shine brighter than the searing sands, and may the Amulet of the Eternal Sun reveal its secrets to those who dare to seek.
