Al-Jaran

The city of Al-Jahan lies to the south-west of the Canyon of Aran, ruled by the just Emir Mehmet Al Jahbir. Nestled next to a vast oasis, its fields yield bountiful crops, and its walls are ever-expanding to shelter the growing farms. At night, the gates are closed to keep out the terrors of the darkness, and all who enter are scrutinized for corruption and illegal substances. Though largely self-sufficient, Al-Jahan imports metals from Ghazri-Baram to the east and exotic goods such as spices and perfume from the southern trade route to Seth. Corruption is not tolerated in Al-Jahan, and those found guilty are swiftly punished, ranging from fines to the loss of limbs or even public execution. The city is home to a diverse population, with humans making up around 80% and dwarves comprising about 10%. Despite being a "worker's town," wealth is relatively evenly distributed, allowing even the poorest citizens to live decently. The Emir is well-respected by the workers, though not as much by the other nobles. He is aided by five Zhani, who serve as his extended eyes and ears in the city and have authority over the City Guard and the Rider of Al-Jahan.

The inner city is protected by a 15-foot wall, guarded day and night by the City Guard. An outer wall is being constructed in stages around the outer part of the city to meet the demands of the farmers. Until it is completed, temporary palisades have been set up.

The City was sieges by Haibam Al-Khumran during the Return of the Five Kings in 977.

Demographics

Due to being a "worker's town" wealth is relatively fairly distributed, even most of the poor can afford decent living conditions. Humans are by far the most common demographics, standing for approximately 80%, followed by dwarves that stand for about 10%.

Government

The city is by Emir Mehmet Al Jahbir who rules justly. Taxation is low for the poor and treasury tax is applied to the rich. The Emir is admired by the workers, not so much by other nobles. The Emir has five Zhani under his command working as his prolonged eyes and ears in the city, the Zhani has authority over the City Guard as well as the Rider of Al-Jahan.

Defences

Inner city is surrounded by a 15 ft high wall guarded day and night by the city guard. An outer wall is being built in increments around the city's outer part due to increased demand by the farmers. Temporary palisades are set up where the wall is yet to be built.
