Ruled by Sajuuk Asadda al Madu (the overwhelming) Al-Qurashi for the better part of the last 90 years, the metropolis of Zandri stands as a shining jewel in the harsh lands surrounding the arid desert of Erg Qurashi.

Boasting a population of over 200 thousand, Zandri has seen a great boost in growth aided by the latest magical wonders of the land: sprawling aqueducts carry water created by the clerics of the god-king Ilaah Alcadizaar, House Al-Tamini brings to bear terraforming wonders that breathe life into the barren land, floating carriages move goods from across the Oerth into the mechanized Granary and the fires of the Sunsteel foundry roar with a glimmer of the sun's might.

Zandri lies at the forefront of an early magical-industrial revolution. House Al-Qurashi will see that their glory and culture remain uncontested in the twilight years of Sinun Ilaah, the Divine Age. An old saying puts it best: 1 in 3 people you know have dealings with the Al-Qurashi. The other 2 owe them money.
