Seyrilloh

Seyrilloh is one of the more unique cities in the Kaspari Empire. In the heart of the desert known as the Dulqa, the greatest oasis of all is the Luqasa Oasis. Surrounded by sand dunes and salt flats, the great Luqasa Oasis features numerous lakes, small forests, fertile farmlands, and a paradisical climate. At the center of the Luqasa Oasis is the city of Seyrilloh, capital of the Sultanate of Luqasa. The city lies on the shore of Lake Luqasa, the largest body of fresh water in the Dulqa. Seyrilloh is one of the Dulqa's more tolerant cities, and outsiders know that the tariffs and laws of the city take into account their own misguided ignorance of the Dulqa's conservative ways, and that has made the city a prime trading area for exotic items.
Seyrilloh has the greatest university in the Kaspari Empire. Prince Furaan Bataari, the uncle of the Caliph, studied here as a lad, as have many notable viziers and learned figures throughout the empire. The university is for the most part moralist in nature, in keeping with the fundamentalist nature of the cities at the heart of the Dulqa. Compared to other organizations of the desert, however, it is quite open and will tolerate members of other faiths as well as pragmatists, ethoists, and even Free Priests. The sciences, particularly optics and alchemy, are the university's strong points, followed by the subjects of art and poetry. In fact, some excellent poets and musicians have studied at Seyrilloh University.
The people of Seyrilloh have warmed to Sultana Falah Raniah and her rule, though at first many were concerned and even offended by the nontraditional posting of a woman in the Sultanate. When the walls failed to tumble in and the city prospered under her rulership, most changed their opinions. They look forward to her daughter Ilana carrying on the tradition of a female leader in Seyrilloh.
Sultana Raniah has made the city of Seyrilloh a safe haven for travelers of all walks of life (not a difficult task for one with such an enlightened populace). Seyrilloh still has its perils, however, often around the bazaar or in the university, where differing ideas may clash with violent results.
==Rumors and Lore==
Of late, the greatest concern in Seyrilloh is the ongoing heresy in Tabeehi, which lies across the desert to the east. Many refugees from that city have fled to Seyrilloh, and the Sultan of Fabaas,
Rishod Oluum, believes that the rebels may have supporters in Seyrilloh. Sultana Raniah has three times refused Oluum's request to conduct investigations in Seyrilloh regarding this matter, and if it can be proved that the rebels are indeed active in Seyrilloh, great turmoil will ensue. As a result, one of Ilana's chief tasks is to investigate these accusations herself. So far, she has turned up nothing official.
