Qadimea

The Queen of Cities, Qadimea is the second largest city in the Ayyubid Emirate and the second largest city on the coast of the Pagan Sea, only slightly smaller than Astentina. Qadimea is the seat of the Quadimea Pasharate ruled by Alexandra al Hamurr, and is densely populated, located in a prime spot on the southern coast, in the far west of the Caelyan Delta.
Founded by Qadim the Great over 300 years before our time, it grew rapidly and served as the capital of Hedjaz until the Urubuhl Conquest in the 7th century. The city is best known for the Lighthouse of Qadimea, which is one of Hathay's Nine Wonders of the World, and its Great Library, as well as the Catacombs of Kahm. In 1431, the ruler of Qadimea's Slave Garden, Kamara Nazul, became one of three founders of The Triarchy, a mercantile and military alliance across the Pagan Sea and since, Qadimea has become perhaps the most powerful city on the Skahazadani coast.
==Culture==
Wealthy men and women of Qadimea typically wear brightly coloured dresses of embroidered silk, wrapped around the body, typically over one shoulder, and held in place by pins of gold, silver, or ivory. They dredge themselves in pungent perfumes to signify wealth, and some of the wealthiest powder themselves with cinnamon.
==Economy==
Qadimea is an immensely important trade port between the Skahazadans and Magnia and is heavily engaged in the slave trade. Their Gardens are famous for producing some of the best bed slaves, tutors, and soldiers, who the slaves claim are fearless, with no sense of identity. It is also the largest free slave market in the emirate and the city takes a tenth of every sale.
