Albaharen

**Albaharen** is a Vaani city in [Greater Location]. [Additional key information]

## Description

Albaharen, also known as The Bubbled City is the home of The Vaani and is located over 7000 feet below the ocean surface northwest of The Island Nation of Nara. Albaharen is goverened by a democratic senate made up of a mixture of genders and ages of Vaani. Each district within Albaharen had two representatives for every ten thousand residents sitting on the senate. The Prime Minister of Albaharen is elected by the votes of the people with the representatives stepping aside for the vote. Albaharen is divided into four districts, The Kelp District, The Coral District, The Seahorse District and The Aquan District, the latter being dedicated to The Aquan who is patron to Vaani.

## Key Locations

### The Aquan District

The Aquan Distric is the holy, residential and municipal centre of the city and as such is usually the busiest of them. The political building is located in the center of the district and is a grandoise building made of marble. The Northside of The Aquan District is residential and has several apartment buildings and villas. The Southside is the religious center of the district and houses Temples to Thiazade and the Aquan there are several smaller temples for other Palaneirrim and while the worship of the demons is not outlawed, there are no temples to demons and there will never be here. Kind lame if you ask me... The Sinner seems like a cool dude.

#### Church of The Aquan

The Church of The Aquan in Albaharen is easily one of the most beautiful sights in all of The Bubbled City... Besides that cutie over there who is practically drooling everytime I look at her. Gods I love Vaani. Anyways! The sand that once stood here was supposedly transmutated into a large chunk of marble by the founders of Albaharen and then the craftsmen of the city chiseled away at the massive block to create the church. According to my research the Church has been around since before Albaharen was even bubbled! The Church can seat over 400,000 at once and as such most publicly held meetings happen here.

#### Temple of Thiazade

It is clear from seeing the difference between the Church of The Aquan to the Temple of Thiazade who the Vaani tend to favor. Don't get me wrong, the members of the Temple keep the utmost care of their Temple but it is showing signs of wear and bad craftsmenship as if it was rushed along and forgotten about. I have made a reminder to speak with Aurora upon my return to maybe see about sending some aid to help in it's upkeep. The Area in which the Temple of Thiazade is built is said to have once been the location of Thiazade's birth and as such is an important and holy site. It saddens me to see history discarded like this.

### The Kelp District

The agricultural district of Albaharen is almost always busy and bustling, the majority of the crops of Albaharen include kelp, sea purslane and saltwort which all grow naturally in the oceans of Vitore. Here in the Kelp District the farmers also tend to their fish herding and sea slug breeding.

#### The Smallest Shark

The Smallest Shark is owned by Bashkim and his daughter Cynna, both of whom are absolutely lovely and the only people I will stay with when in Albaharen. On a typical night, the clientele at The Smallest Shark can be described as raucously amicable. On this particular night, there are several other people currently in the tavern. A few of the patrons are singing a drinking song that I may or may not have wrote. Have you ever heard the song "Hey Nonny Nonny"? The rooms for rent at The Smallest Shark are surprisingly huge and homey. Their signature drink is called a Dueling Octopus and to this day Cynna will not tell me what is in it... I honestly will continue to drink this no matter. It is absolutely that good, with a robust warm honey like flavor and a dark grey glittery color.

### The Coral District

The infrastructure and building district of Albaharen, Vaani craftsmen are not really metallurgists and typically use Obsidian, marble or wood mostly. Will trade for metal, but Vaani don’t typically smith themselves.

#### Duskblades

The premier place to get a blade of Obsidian in Albaharen, Duskblades is run by Petka who is an elderly Vaani who takes alot of time in crafting her blades but assures me that her blades have special properties that will reveal themselves when the time is right. I cannot argue with the craftsmanship but she still seems a little nilbog-brained.

### The Seahorse District

The military district also known as The Seahorse District is home to the the city guard, The Deep Rangers and most notoriously... The Tideknights

#### Tideknights

Albaharen is protected well by the elite paladins of The Aquan, also known as The Tideknights who are lethally loyal to the Church. It is with The Tideknights that most conquests of Albaharen are accomplished as the force of 400 matches almost any army in terms of power.
