Phastia

**Phastia**

 * City of the Sands**

Hot, regardless of what time of year it is, Phastia is surrounded by desert, with respects to the large road leading in from the Sea. The population is mostly human, though the random sun elf or desert dwarf has been known to make an appearance.

The ruler of Phastia is Gandhara Achaemenid Kandahar Eloncre, the Ruler of the Sword of Ruby Light. He has but one son, Rikard, and several dozen daughters and wives. The Sultan is a very powerful man, but his rule is threatened by a cruel and ruthless man by the name of Ahl Cahal Elon Cre, the Sultan's jealous brother. They are said to be descendants of the very first Malkadian Dragon line: Eloncreth.



The Palace of the Sands is a heavily fortified castle of hardened sandstone. It is said to have 10,000 guards, more to protect the Sultan's harem, than the Sultan himself.
