Muspar'i is a fabulous S'Kra Mur trade city in the middle of the unforgiving [[Velaka Desert]]. The city is only possible because of its mercantile nature, but it manages to not only survive, but thrive on rare and exotic desert goods it exports to the rest of the world. One of its steadiest earners is the salt it recovers from the salty waters of [[Lake Ratamipak]]. Built on a low bluff overlooking this large lake, the city is defended by thick walls and tall towers, as well as its isolated location in a harsh climate.<br />

==Government, History, and Background==
===Government type===


The city and surrounding territory is a S'Kra Mur monarchy, currently ruled by King [[Arhhdan]]. The monarchs of the city rule from Shorka's Palace located on the west side of the city. The kings of Muspar'i are collectively known as "the [[Blood of Shorka]]" after the [[Shorka|founder]] of the city, but any actual blood relation to her is uncommon nowadays.
===Government Type===


The city of Muspar'i maintains it's neutral stance between those that may reside in the [[Velaka Desert]], and have conflicting interests with those in [[Therengia]]. Therengia's House [[Dacawla]] controls the only access to the city through [[Hvaral]], something that has attributed to the House's wealth, as well as their other endeavors and trade. As a security measure to his citizens, the Baron currently requires people to obtain a passport to travel to Muspar'i, which are free for the asking in Ibec Hall.

While the city of Muspar'i and the [[Velaka Desert]] have often been referred to as one in the same, the area of the Velaka Desert is not ruled by the city's king. There are several [[Sand Elf]] hamlets scattered across the vast desert which have additional treaties, also working in conjunction with Muspar'i and Therengia's rulers to provide travel via the sand barges, as well as providing additional trade to both areas.
There is some tension between the city and the ruling power of [[Therengia]], which controls the only access to the city through [[Hvaral]]. Therengia's House [[Dacawla]] has become very wealthy from this stranglehold and the Baron has used heavy handed tactics in the past in attempts to make Muspar'i submit to his whim. The Baron currently requires people to obtain a passport to travel to Muspar'i.

===History===


Muspar'i was founded by [[Shorka]] the Cobra after her service to [[Lanival]] in the [[Resistance War]]. She led the desert dwelling [[Scorpion Clan]], along with a contingent of interested Desert Elves, to the shores of Lake Ratamipak and selected the location where the city would be built.

In a time of uncertainty, the first building completed was Lata'arna Keep, located near the middle of the construction site in case they needed to defend themselves. Later, the great walls of the city were erected and the keep became obsolete, but instead of tearing it down, its thick walls were seen as an ideal location for the cash reserves of the city and it has become the local banking facility.

Much of the early construction was done with sandstone and limestone quarried from just east of the city, along with bricks made from local materials. Other stone was dragged from the [[Gemfire Mountains]] and as mercantile trade was established, other materials were imported from all over [[Kermoria]].

For the sculptor or those that enjoy the sleek lines of a well made statue, by far the most prominent statue will be the Dragons Spire. So large that its top can barely be made out. To find this piece, a person will want to stay fairly close to the city gates. Another piece that will grab the attention is located in the Heketha Theatre. While this statue of a dragon is many times smaller than the Dragon Spire, it more than makes up for the difference with the sheer quantity and quality of the gems that quite literally cover from head to toe.

While the population of Muspar'i and all of Velaka is very low, there is no one Hangout. If someone was going to actually put a name on where you will pass one or two people the most in a week, that would be just inside the gate to the bank. This location does have a bucket for your garbage and because it is off the streets, the Constables can not come inside to grab and toss a criminal into the jail.

If a second place had to be named, that would be just inside the city gates. Reason for that is in all of Muspar'i only two locations have the waste buckets. It is dangerous for anyone that is wanted within the city of Muspar'i, for the constables can take you at this location.

Muspar'i is a fabulous S'Kra Mur trade city in the middle of the unforgiving Velaka Desert. The city is only possible because of its mercantile nature, but it manages to not only survive, but thrive on rare and exotic desert goods it exports to the rest of the world. One of its steadiest earners is the salt it recovers from the salty waters of Lake Ratamipak. Built on a low bluff overlooking this large lake, the city is defended by thick walls and tall towers, as well as its isolated location in a harsh climate.
