Alsahriqa

Alsahriqa (pronounced: All-sah-rika) is a very old monarchy founded when Haidar Wahid declared certain settlements as his own with the help of fortune tellers and magicians spreading the rumor of him having contact with god.

The name Alsahriqa is both the name of the desert which the kingdom is located in and the kingdom itself. The Alsahriqa kingdom consists of one major city named Altawjat separated between three sections named after Haidar Wahid's wives Galila, Jinan and Daumaa. The villages around the main city are seen as the lower-class, since they didn't take part in the founding of Alsahriqa.

The kingdoms currency consists of the copper triangle, silver triangle, golden triangle. All coins have a hole in the so they can be tied up with string.

## Appearance

The materials used in Alsahriqan architecture generally consist of adobe, stones and wood.

Alsahriqa consists of the main city Altawjat surrounded by multiple small villages. The center of Altawjat is where the wealthiest reside including Fazel Wahid, it is generally the most spacious and most tended area of the city, it features artificial bodies of water and lots of decorated buildings. In the three sections, the further you go from the center the thinner the streets get. The streets are covered in long wires of clothes, plants and colors, with a lot of steps to protect people from the waterbodies of the central area. The roofs in the lower areas are easily accessible to make up for the lack of space. Many residents have two floors in their house with the lower one being either their shop or workshop. This is mostly the case for people that handle materials, such as blacksmiths, butchers and leatherworkers.

The three sections (Galtiqa, Jintiqa and Daumtiqa) aren't that different, the most unique one is the section of Daumaa, Daumtiqa. This section is on the seaside of the country and servers as its harbor.

The villages tend to be more similar to self sufficient communities, they don't look as fancy and are considered a lower class.

## Culture

The culture in Alsahriqa centers around Haidar Wahid and his connection to god. Every time before sleeping, before eating and when a large ship leaves the harbor there is a prayer to the ones that founded the kingdom of Alsahriqa. These prayers are done less in the village, this is cause there are mixed opinions about praying to the founder of their kingdom, since they don't get the same treatment as the big city.

In the center of the city there is a large prayer that takes place everyday when the sun is at its highest point.

When a fleet returns from sea, the people from Alsahriqa celebrate the Taeud-Alsafina festival.

### Clothes

Prestige is awarded with higher quality clothes with more colors, jewels and decorations, making the rich more noticeable and idolizing them. The country allows citizens to roam around the center of the city, so that they can get a closer look at the life of the wealthy, this is something the kingdom does to stimulate exceptional behavior and reward citizens. Generally the clothes worn by the inhabitants are robes made out of silks or cloth. Sometimes strings of coins get used to show off

Cause of this system, children are raised strictly so that they and their family can join the wealthy side of their society.

### Economy

The economy in Alsahriqa survives off of their trading, nearly all of it is by sea. Which makes Daumtiqa the general hotspot for the economy. The products of Alsahriqa consist mostly of clothes, dyes, fruits and slavery. Most slaves are the homeless that get plucked from the streets, which are then made into slaves.

Another major income for the kingdom are the high village taxes, since these outside villages didn't join Alsahriqa during its founding, these high taxes are a form of retribution.
