City of the Sun

The city of Istan is not nearly as big as Taras but only a little smaller then Cascadia. Even though it is small, there are several trade routes going through it and keeps quite a lot of business in the city.

The high outer walls to keep predators out, and also helps against any enemies who attack. The houses are small and only one story high, some two stories but no more.

There is a tall temple, reaching above the walls, in the middle of the city. It is made of some sort of huge sapphire blue crystal, which reflects the sun over the desert showing the way to the city. No one knows who built the temple, it is said that there use to be an old god who lived there but that is only a story which has been around for centuries.

The native people of the desert, called the Jundari, built the city more then five thousand years ago and is still standing strong. The majority population is human now, who have lived in the desert for hundreds of years, their skin tanned by the relentless sun. Masters with glaives and sabers, they are strong fighters and fast.

No one knows what happened to the Jundari, all of a sudden their numbers diminished and only a few remain to this day, their leader is suppose to live in the temple.
