Farsaikha

The city-state of Farsaikha, Oasis of Kings, the crown jewel of the Ghathe Desert, is the largest city in the world. Built atop the largest source of water in the dry expanse of the Ghathe, and harnessing the raw power of the mighty volcano Adhssii, Farsaikha dominates the region. Located in a prime strategic point along the desert roads, flush with all the water her thirsty populace needs, and built in and around the natural citadel of Adhssii, Farsaikha has a well-earned reputation as a land of prosperity and opulence. Rich with quality stone, metals, and jewels from the caves and mines deep under the mountain, the most valuable resource Farsaikha holds is a massive supply of manastone ore, the lifeblood of magic and industry. One of the world's foremost producers of refined manastone, Farsaikha is made ever richer by her trade partners' insatiable thirst for the precious magical fuel.
Known throughout the world as being completely unassailable, the prosperity of Farsaikha is preserved by her greatest defense, Ammenepthes' Wall, an unbelievably massive wall of shifting sand that surrounds the city. Pharoah Ammenepthes conjured the wall with his great sorcerous might to defend his kingdom from assault by the armies of Rahzbek the Conqueror. The wall, crafted entirely of enchanted sand, stands 700 feet tall and 250 feet thick and completely surrounds the city. Any attempt to scale it is defeated by the shifting nature of the sand, falling away with every handful a climber tries to grab. No siege equipment or spell in the world can damage its form, which effortlessly absorbs any punishment thrown at it, and regrows instantly from the surrounding desert sands if it is ever knocked away. If an enemy thinks that the wall's loose, grainy nature means that they can push through it, they will find themselves swallowed by it and buried deep within the desert, entombed by the endless sands.
