Ozul-Saba

Build on the southern edge overhanging the Cooking Canyon, Ozul-Saba stands proud as the capitol of Pyrulos. Ozul-Saba is known across the world as one of the most learned and one of the cleanest cities in all of existence, were no man lives as a peasant. The city has for generations drawn the attention of magical theorists from all across the known world, thanks to its lacks laws and the curiosity of its lord, prince Sar-Thedronus. The city has eleven universities and leads the world in the study of magic, with almost half of the population working as a scholar in some field of study.
== Description ==
Buildings in Ozul-Saba are packed close together, with only the eleven universities of the city standing free from the rest. The buildings on the border of the city even cross over into the city wall, and some are just a part of it. Thanks to this closeness the streets of Ozul-Saba are smaller than most other cities, being only 4 metres wide. This is no problem however as no carriages ever need to drive through them. The pavement of these winding streets is covered in volcanic rock, and many buildings are connected together through viaducts going over the street.
About a kilometre located outside of the city walls lies the Ozul-Saba Observatory. Completed in 1652 the observatory forms the forefront of cosmological studies in Ozul-Saba. The observatory is headed by the Vezkian family which is currently on its second generation. The observatory was build purposely on a north-south axis since they sought to establish a meridian line going right through the building. The establishment of a meridian line would allow for easier calculations when gazing at the night's stars. In recent years the observatory has also attracted cartographers looking to use triangulation to make more accurate maps, which is heavily promoted by Sar-Thedronus who seeks to precisely map Pyrolus. The observatory itself is surrounded by a large park with few structures on the lot, which function as housing for staff. Due to its quickly growing importance the Ozul-Saba Observatory is more frequently called the twelfth university.
== Demographic ==
Ozul-Saba does not know a lower class of manual labourers. Every law-abiding citizen is either a middle class merchant or higher, and none of them have to worry about their ability to afford food. To ensure that the streets of Ozul-Saba remain clean and that heavy goods are transported around the city the scholars of Isadora University have created a special ritual to create Servetants: Magically mutated humanoids handcrafted for a specific purpose. To be turned into a Servetant is a special punishment for criminals committing highly criminally acts such as sleeping on the street or begging for money.
== History ==
Ozul-Saba was founded by the biomancers of the Saba tribe and the scholars of the Ozul tribe, united in the holy matrimony of their king and queen. The Saba tribe were taught the art biomancy from an ent named Valangin Tannen, who showed them how to graft living beings together with magic. With his lessons they created the first biomantic mutant, the bloodfire ooze, who slew Arbor Heather and their army and ended their invasion.
