Zandu

Zandu is a land of gentle hills and sparse woodlands, shifting to deep forests along its northern borders and western coast.

The Zandir People

The inhabitants, the Zandir, are known for their colorful customs and liberal sensibilities, standing in stark contrast to their neighbors in Aaman.

• Beliefs: Primarily Paradoxists, who profess to be mystified by their own existence.
• The Great Mysteries: A foundational Paradoxist text (author unknown) containing over 100,000 questions and no answers.

Zanth: The Capital

Zanth is a beautiful city characterized by copper spires, minarets, and arched causeways.

• The Sultan's Palace: A fabulous residence gilded with silver and gold leaf.
• History: Like Aamahd in Aaman, Zanth was part of the ancient Phaedran city of Badijan, divided after the Cult Wars.

Current Political Climate

Tensions are high due to the militaristic posturing of neighboring Aaman. [^1]

• Military State: The Zandir military is on full alert.
• Defenses: The Great Barrier Wall has been further fortified.
