Al-Haz

Al-Haz (pronounced ahl-HOZZ) is Yrths most powerful Islamic nation, sat between the Fence of God and the River Lorian. It is considered the rival of Megalos in terms of cultural and economic power, and is the seat of Islamic orthodoxy, even containing Yrth's own Mecca, the city of Geb'al Din. Al-Haz has a population, called "Hazis", of about 5 million, with nearly all being humans--only a few halfling families live along the southern coast. Al-Haz is a theocracy, and has an average Control Rating of 4.
== International Relations ==
Al-Haz is close allies with its northern neighbor Al-Wazif, and shares much of its religious orthodoxy, although Al-Haz is generally considered more strict. Al-Haz and Cardiel are polite to one another, but see little in common with religious practices.
== Rumors ==
Al-Haz is supposedly the home to a lost alchemical solution to the Pilgrim's Plague, which could eradicate the disease for good.
