Quan Ma
Quan Ma is a city built around an oasis in Severa Wastes. From outside of the wastes it is only accessibly by the Severa Railway. Although Quan Ma is within the borders of Oulm Thermes, due to its unreachable position in the wastes it functions as an independent city-state, unbeholden to the laws of Oulm Thermes.
History
Quan Ma was initially established in -1302 IE, making it the oldest still existing settlement in the world. It was initially founded in the Severa desert, before it became an inhospitable wasteland along a large oasis. As the desert became more inhospitable over time, Quan Ma faced three different mass deaths. Following each mass death, the ruins of the city would be discovered by groups in the wastes and re-established. The current Quan Ma is the fourth re-establishment of the city.
Tourism
There is none. Despite the rich and unique history and culture of Quan Ma, due to it's location within the Severa Wastes it is difficult and dangerous to travel to.
Architecture
The buildings of Quan Ma are made from black sandstone, created using the sand of the wastes. Many of the buildings used the framework of the ruins of Old Quan Ma.
