| Khafkar (755, -498)#76 | Khafkar is a slave city. The soldiers who guard the gates are slaves, the officials who administrate the exchequer are slaves, the labourers who clear muck from the roads are slaves. Some are shackled and beaten, some are bedecked in silks and perfumes, but from the lowest to the highest, the Sultan owns every one, and the slaves run the city in his name. Trade descriptionA visitor in Khafkar must learn to bow down before slaves. The officials who run the city, and the Sultan's elite troops, are all slaves. It is well to bow to the commander of the gate guard as one enters. It is expected that one will bow to the Controller of Markets when asking permission to buy and sell here. It is also worth noting that it is punishable by death to attempt to bribe the Sultan's slaves, but it is well known that an effective bribe opens many doors; wise visitors note that the one gift that one may legally give to one of the Sultan's slaves is simply another slave, and as a result, this is a city where the leading slaves, in turn, also own many slaves of their own. | |
| Mataba (893, -571)#81 | When the great-grandfather of the present Sultan conquered the city of Mataba, he had the inhabitants assemble in the city's main square. And then he had them all killed. Then he had their pets and livestock killed. Then he had all of their books and records torn apart. And a great bonfire was made in the central square; people and pigs and tattered pages, all burned together. The fire took a month to burn. Visitors say that now, a century later, the city still has the scent of burned flesh. Trade descriptionMataba is an ancient city, but with no history. The ancient monuments and temples have all been defaced, every name and date chipped out of every inscription, each recognisable statue decapitated. One hundred years ago, the citizens were massacred, and a new population of slaves and settlers imported to start the city afresh.<br><br>Legends tell of ghosts of victims seen in the streets, of a scent of death or burning always in the air, but those who live or visit here say that they have not experienced these things. The legacy of the massacre, however, is all around, chipped into the old stones. | |
| Nessim (838, -352)#77 | It is customary for desert princes to build pleasure gardens amidst the sands; to make the sands bloom, to create a haven of lush beauty amid the scorching rocks, is a princely achievement. But only one garden has grown so huge, its delights so manifold, that a whole city has grown up simply to support it. It is the will of the supreme Sultan that his garden should be beyond equal in beauty, watered by a thousand fountains, decorated by two thousand slave girls, tended by four thousand eunuchs. None would deny the will of the Sultan. Trade descriptionWhere some cities would have a grand market square, or central commercial district, or grand palace, Nessim has a garden. It is the pleasure garden of the Sultan, and it is rumoured to be the most beautiful garden ever built; but none may enter except for the Sultan, his slave girls, and his eunuchs... and his his eunuchs and slave girls are forbidden to speak of what lies within the garden walls. From certain angles, it is possible to see treetops, or the heads of some impossibly high fountain above the walls of the garden, but the inhabitants of Nessim and its visitors can do no more than speculate about what delights it holds.<br><br>For common folk, life in Nessim takes place in a network of covered alleys and interconnected buildings which have grown up between the central garden and the huge city wall. It is cramped, and often squalid, swelteringly hot, with little breeze and little direct sunlight. For the slaves who serve the Sultan, there is no choice but to stay here, but for visitors, there is the opportunity for profitable trade, or for intrigue. |

Latest 100 retained faction observations, newest first. This is a bounded faction audit, not a hub-change or player/alliance-standing history. Before and after labels come from each observation.
No faction changes recorded in the retained history.
The initial import establishes a baseline. No recorded changes does not prove the faction never changed. Retained coverage may have gaps; missing values are not zero, and feed absence does not prove an in-game removal.
