The City of the Sandtadel (also known by its prefix Arcane Fortress City) is a Major City in the Converging Valleys.

The city is known to be the central hub for magical innovation and spellcasting in the Converging Valleys. Many mages throughout the Torrid Continent, and even travelers from other parts of the Unhellish Planes seek the knowledge from the institutes of the Sandtadel.

The city itself only consists of one large structure – the Sandtadel. It is a large sandstone brick tower that reaches an elevation of 348m.

The inside of the Sandtadel is just a winding set of stairs and rooms that contain doors. One door in particular is unique in every room – the 'Normal Door.' The 'Normal Door' is a door marked by the sigil of the Sandtadel Shihiri and purple dye frantically plastered over the sigil. 'Normal Doors' are regular wooden doors, whereas any other door within the Sandtadel takes any creature or user that walks through it into a unique demispace.

The internal contents of the Sandtadel are largely empty because it mostly consists of rooms, doors, and stairwells, with the only unique exception being the rooftop. The rooftop floor of the Sandtadel is known as the Shaeira or 'Shaeira Ritual Floor.' It is a large open space with many magic circles. The largest of these magical ritual circles is famously known as the Greater Rite Circle.

In terms of total volume of the demispaces in the Sandtadel, it is currently unknown just how large the Santadel is.

Some notable institutes that operate within the Sandtadel are:

* Sandtadel Shihiri Mage Court
* Sandtadel Academy of Ritual Magic "A.R.M."
* Sciquis Institute of Research & Development of the Torrid Continent
* Jeri Co. "Jericho Company"
* Azrael An'Ti Division

The Player Character from Party 1: Hive comes from this city.

## Governance and Politics

This city-state is ultimately governed by the Coalition, with the major authority rank of governor.

However, due to the long-historical presence and influence of the Sandtadel Shihiri, the governor often seeks counsel and advise from the Sandtadel Shihiri Mage Court like a senate.

The Shihiri are both an arcane and political powerhouse in the region that hold command over the various magic-related activities and policies that dictate this city-state. The Sandtadel Shihiri are skilled mages that hold ranks no lower than Court Magician. The highest rank among them is usually an Archmage. Despite the differences in magical capability, the Shihiri all hold equal hierarchical ranks (similar to a senate). These titles are known as 'Shihir.'
