Circassica

Often called The Yellow City, Circassica is the capital of the Ayyubid Emirate, the seat of the Circassica Pasharate, and the largest city in the Skahazadans, with over 1 million inhabitants. Located at the fork of the Sahidic Delta, the city first developed as a fort after the Urubuhl Conquest of Hedjaz and has since then grown to be the centre of political and cultural life in the Urubuhl world. 
== Layout ==
The city is made of yellow bricks. Crumbling walls surround a sprawl of mineret towers, colourful buildings, golden roofs, and tall, stepped pyramids and ziggurats, considered one of the Nine Wonders of the World, slowly climbing the steep hill on which the city stands. Fountains fill every square and palm and lemon trees lend their shade to the crowded, narrow streets. Centred around the bank of the Sahidic river forms the Azabekaya District, which houses most of the city's freeman ziggurats, and even a small district for Ruhun worshippers. Next to it is Part Boul, where the guard customs' post lies and which has in recent years become a dense district of workshops. 
== Culture ==
The Cirs are are a sly and stubborn people. It is not unusual to hear heated discussions between strangers in the street, but they are simply passionate about arguing. In fact, they are passionate about everything. Their culture puts great import on food and cooking. It was once said that Cirs had 100 ways to prepare a dish with dog. It is high fashion to dress in linen and tiger furs, while it is quite normal for children to go about naked, wearing only sandals and body paint. 
As per the Urubuhl traditions, men and women retain the rights to their own possession when they marry, but in the city, it is tradition that on the day of the wedding, the bride and groom may ask for any one thing of each other's possessions.
== Economy ==
Circassica thrives greatly on Urubuhl pilgrimage, travelling from all over the Skahazadans to pray in the innermost holy sanctums of their faith. Because of its location and import within the power emirate, it is seen as the gateway between the east and the west. 
The Gardens of Circassica are famous for castration of its slaves to create valuable eunuchs, while their slave soldiers are trained in fighting pits, serving to provide both entertainment for the masses and to educate the slaves in combat. Although still of high quality, Circassican slave soldiers are said to be cheaper than their weapons.
