The City-State of Hadj
The city-state of Hadj is situated in the middle of a vast, arid plain. Despite its desolate surroundings, it is home to the Hadjin, some of the wealthiest people in Talislanta.
The Hadjin Ruins
The source of the city's immense fortune lies in the surrounding ruins:
- Obelisks: Ancient, hollow structures that serve as tombs.
- The Magician-Kings: The obelisks contain the mummified remains of a prehistoric race of sorcerer-monarchs.
- Treasure: These kings were interred with their most prized possessions, providing a seemingly endless supply of artifacts and wealth for the Hadjin to salvage. [^1]
A Luxury Resort
In recent years, Hadj has transformed itself into a premier destination for the continent's elite.
- Reputation: Renowned as a luxury resort for wealthy Talislantans.
- Development: The Hadjin are actively cultivating this image, building extravagant facilities to cater to high-paying visitors from the Seven Kingdoms, Zandu, and beyond.
[^1]: Excavation of the ruins is strictly regulated by the Hadjin government to maintain the market value of the recovered artifacts.
