+ | ====== Sakar ====== | ||
+ | Sakar isn’t really a single nation, but a region of independent city states and tribes bound together by shared cultural rules and philosophies, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Technically, | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Enlightenment ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sakaran identity is based on the social and cultural guidance of The Lore Giver, which defines Sakaran culture in terms of religion and expected behaviour, known as Enlightenment. | ||

+ | |||
+ | Sakharan recognize Sarenrae, Vataqatal & Kor as their main deities. | ||
+ | |||
+ | While there aren't great numbers of slaves, slavery is legal in Sakhar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Geography ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sakar is a dry land, set between the mountains and the Hann Sea. Its main towns and cities are spread along the coastal plains, normally where a river meets the sea, where the land is greener and more suitable for agriculture. | ||

+ | * [[SakarGeography|The Geography of Sakar]] | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Culture ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | While Enlightenment informs every part of life in Sakhar, there are five specific ‘cultural’ groups who dominate the population. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One important cultural oddity is The Salt Bond - Offering food or drink, or consuming it, is the equivalent of a short term peace bond. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | There are five distinct cultural groups: | ||
+ | * Pirates - spread along the coastal region. | ||
+ | * [[The Mamluka|Mamluks]] - Slave warriors who maintain Law, Order and Enlightenment. | ||
+ | * Tribes - Bad Land Nomads who live a semi-nomadic existence raising herd animals | ||
+ | * Cities - Farming and Industry dominate city life, under the watchful eyes of the Amir (ruler) and the [[CityGodsPyramid|City God's Pyramid]]. | ||
+ | * Outcasts - often found in the margins between the Bad Lands and the mountains, but sometimes found closer to the cities. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ===== The Market Place ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Sakaran markets (often known as souks or bazaars) tend to be loud and busy, but stock many items that you are familiar with from other areas, however many of them have a distinctly Sakaran look to them. Merchants will, of course, take any ++coins|(if they are satisfied the coins are genuine)++, although there is a 5% Money Changer' | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | * [[Weapons and Armour]] have a distincrly Sakaran feels about them. Swords are generally curved, wile lighter armour and shields are popular. | ||
+ | * [[consolidated: | ||
+ | * [[Clothes]] are very different, and often consist of long flowing robes. | ||
