Dhaztanar

Dhaztanar, or the Crystal-towered, was the capital of Semphar and the kingdom's largest city.
==Location==
Dhaztanar marked one end of the Silk Road, making it a bustling epicenter of trade and commerce. The city was nestled along the eastern banks of the Semphar Water, which was a portion of the larger lake of Gbor Nor.
==Description==
Most of the buildings in Dhaztanar were constructed of stone or brick; wood was scarcely used since it had to be imported from the Shalhoond.
A typical house in Dhaztanar was two stories tall, making the state buildings appear more grand as they towered over them.
==History==
Dhaztanar was a fierce rival of Zindalankh, which was located on the opposite bank of the Semphar Water in Murghôm.
==Inhabitants==
The Caliph and master of Semphar, Abu Bakr, lived in Dhaztanar within the splendid palace of Dar al-Kalif.
Elves, dwarves, gnomes, halflings, and some goblin-kind, were present in the city.
The Harpers were rumored to have a presence or outpost in the city.
