Zerdune

ZerDune is a desert country with very little population but does have a few population centers near bodies of water. This place is just long stretches of seas of sand. The country is ruled by the Merchant Guild. The current ruler is Razmac, The Sultan of the Sands.

'''

The Capital: Sandwell

Sandwell is the trade hub of Zerdune due to its supply of water and the Wind Diamonds that were excavated from the dig sites outside of the city’s walls, but the sites ran dry years ago.

 SandWell is controlled by the Trader’s guild who is led by Razmac, The Sultan of the sands.

Razmac is the most powerful being in Zerdune. The Royal family went missing years ago and Razmac seized control until the return of the royals. 25 years have passed since then.

 Settlements: 

Serpent Port:  A medium sized port town that is crawling with crime. The settlement guards are controlled by a local gang

Shan’Dor: A small settlement on the shoreline of the sea. Not much coin comes through here but they are rich in food and water. Crops seem to be able to grow on the sands here.  

 Points of interest: 

Tomb Of Kings: A temple built into a side of a cliff side. Generations of Zerdune's royals have been buried in this walls.

 Factions :

The Crows:The Crows are a group of criminals. The Crows are led by a Drow man named Mero Cros and one eyed brute of an elf. They are a gang that has control of Serpent Port

The hand of Nus:A guild of assassins who take contracts from anyone who leaves a black rose in their windowsill for 3 days.

The Kalicar:A warrior cast of people who are sworn to the city and it’s ruler. They uphold the law and find honor in it’s defence.

 The Rhinos: A nomadic group of people who take mercenary work around Zerdune. They specialize in catching slaves and bounty hunting. They are led by an Orc named Grak Stonetooth.

Merchants guild: Masters of coin and trade in Zerdune. They offer protects to merchants and shops who are taxed by the guild.

 Major conflict: 

Despite the capital that slaves generate for Zerdune, there are many who oppose the practice within and out of the country. Razmac staying in power means that the slave trade will continue.

 

 Major export: 

Zerdune has many mines that produce metals and gems. One of the major gems that were pulled from these mines are known as Wind Diamonds but Zerdune has failed to produce this gem for many years. Wind diamonds are used to power the airships that move people from country to country.

Slaves are also bought and sold within the walls of Sandwell. People will capture and bring people into the bazaar to be traded.
