Called the Golden City, and the Jewel of the Desert, Essyrn is a sovereign city-state located near the eastern coast of Le'raana. It is currently the largest and oldest city on the continent, having grown up over the centuries from a loose collection of settlements to the significant economic force that it is today.
Commanding a trade fleet to rival any of the kingdoms and holding a monopoly on all trade coming up from the south—which must pass through the desert and thus, through the city—Essyrn's power lies in its coffers and its ability to control the resources and luxuries required by the Three Kingdoms to the north. It has formed a tight alliance with Adela, providing Essyrn with the backing of a considerable military (something Essyrn lacks) and Adela with favorable trade deals for the resources unavailable in its heavily forested and mountainous land.
Essyrni people
The Essyrni are a race of humans who share a distant ancestry with the Duhjari and Adelans. They are generally dark-skinned and tall and most forms of magecraft are rare among their race, though geomancy and divination run unusually high among them.
