&nbsp;Come explore and adventure in the Great Dune Sea, the vast lush Veldt and Sha’ib, City of Mazes.&nbsp; This is a fantasy sandbox game that explores a non-European setting in all of its silk and golden glory.&nbsp; Tricky merchants and cunning Wizir’s plot and play amid whirling dervishes and adventurous nomads.&nbsp; If you are looking for something exotic and wonderful grab a scimitar and your favorite flying carpet and come test your wits against wicked Jinn and dashing warriors or explore the lush Veldt filled with tribal elves and the prides of the Domadh Khans.&nbsp; This is a game where riches and wonders are a lantern rub away and adventure awaits the bold and the brilliant.<br><br>I wanted to explore a different setting and thought an Arabic and African themed game would be inspiring and interesting here as I have not seen many.&nbsp; This game is open to all sexual orientations.&nbsp; As a GM I am most comfortable playing heterosexual, bi and lesbian characters, but I am accepting of anyone playing any orientation in my games and honestly I like the diversity so please join and bring others!&nbsp; Take a look at the information below.&nbsp; It is a skeleton of what I am looking at with the centerpiece being Sha’ib, City of Mazes as a place for everyone to be able to meet.&nbsp; The adventure can certainly spread to the Great Dune Sea and The Veldt, but I wanted a central location that could gather the different players together easily enough.<br><br>As with all of my sandbox style games this game is character driven.&nbsp; I will not be leading any players around by the nose and players have a say in what happens in the world and will help to develop it.&nbsp; I have left a lot open in the city and the races below that they can be fleshed out more if there is interest enough to start this game.<br><br>I have borrowed from a number of roleplaying games such as Hellfrost: Lands of Fire and Talislanta among others for this game and added stuff from my own imagination.&nbsp; Much is modified, some was copied directly and others mashed together with brand new ideas.&nbsp; I hope you all enjoy.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>The City</strong></span></div><br>Sha’ib, the City of Mazes, gained its moniker not only from the twisting streets shielded by colorful drapes to ward off the heat of the sun, but from the labyrinth of caves that twist and turn diving deep into the canyon walls that surround the city.&nbsp; Below the city is a true maze left over by some ancient civilization that left little record of its passing. <br><br>The city is located in a gap in the Jinn-Wall Mountains.&nbsp; It was discovered by accident as there is only one way in to Sha’ib and one way out.&nbsp; The Trail of Nadhir is a twisting path from the Great Dune Sea that winds between shear canyon walls only revealing the city after its last twist.&nbsp; The Trail of Sighs leads southward out of Sha’ib through walls as shear and steep as those of the Trail of Nadhir to the cooler grasslands of the Veldt.<br><br>Sha’ib was discovered, or rediscovered, but a Bedu tribe hundreds of years ago who used it as a hidden oasis during the worse of the summer months in the Great Dune Sea.&nbsp; Eventually the tribe settled the area and traded between other Bedu tribes and the tribes of the Veldt south of the Trail of Sighs.&nbsp; Now it is a city of trade along the Northern Trade Road between Balyana, the Crimson Fortress and the Veldt.<br><br>Sha’ib has surprisingly few permanent residence for its size.&nbsp; However the transient population of merchants, traders and adventurers can swell the population to overflowing during certain times of the year.&nbsp; The claustrophobic nature of the streets of Sha’ib do well to hide the fact that some of the districts are virtual ghost towns at low points of the season.<br><br>The City is fed by an underground river.&nbsp; Fresh water is pulled from cisterns and wells in the northern section of town from designated areas upstream and refuse is disposed of into the maze below the city which has been breached in many areas by the underground water ways and act as a sewer system that is periodically flushed with river water.&nbsp; It is rumored that the Maze below and caves deep within the canyon walls you can find remnants of the civilization that lived in Sha’ib millennia ago.&nbsp; Strange ophidian artifacts and artwork are said to have been found there.&nbsp; The sewers and deep caves are said to be the realm of the Hungering Dark and therefore have never been extensively explored.&nbsp; The people are very superstitious of this and Clerics of Ashameen bless the cisterns and wells of Sha’ib each morning to ensure the water is safe from the taint of the Hungering Dark.<br><br><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4d/Nomad2.jpg)</div> <div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>People of the City</strong></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Hadaree</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/38/HadareeFemale4.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b1/HardreeMale1.jpg)<br>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ad/HardreeMen.jpg)</div></div><br>Hadaree literally means “person or people of the town,” and is used to denote both singular and plural. Of Bedu origin, it is conferred on any human born in a village, town or city, and applies irrespective of their creed, heritage, and nationality. While some commonality exists between settlements in a given geographic region, the word does not truly describe any exact culture—in the same way Bedu tribes have cultural differences built around common social mores and customs, so the same is true of the denizens of permanent settlements. In essence, it simply means a non-nomad.<br><br>The Hadaree of Sha’ib, City of Mazes, are extremely learned.&nbsp; They are masters of alchemy, a more structured form of magic than the Bedu sand magic or the tribal magic of the Domadh Khans and the Nafasi.&nbsp; Alchemy uses computations and formula of a mathematical nature.<br><br>The citizens of Sha’ib believe in the dual forces of Asaheem, Jann of Light and Air, and an entity known as the Hungering Dark.&nbsp; &nbsp;These forces of Law and Chaos are in constant battle with one another.&nbsp; Asaheem is a creator and seeker of knowledge while the Hungering Dark is a devourer and corruptor. <br>&nbsp;<br>Names: Ahmed, Azhar, Badr, Farhan, Hazim, Mushtaq, Ra’if, Zarif (male); Almas, Asiyah, Gharam, Husna, Juman, Nadia, Sirah (female). Hadaree do not use familial names. Instead, they typically use the word “ibn” (“son of ”) or “bint” (“daughter of ”), followed by the name of their father. Though it is common among the lower classes to end here, nobles often list several ancestors, if only to show the unbroken line of their familial power. A new trait is developing, however. Rather than us- ing familial name strings, many folk have begun using their personal name followed by “the” and a self-given title, often relating to an occupation. Thus, one may find Ahmed the Beggar, Farhan the Guide, or Sirah the Wise. Some say this began long ago with a certain famous mariner, though others argue it stems from the mighty nobles who rule the great cities.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Djafﬁr</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/a7/Djaffirmale.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4c/DjaffirFemale.jpg)</div></div><br>Uniformly slender and wiry of build, the Djaffir are swarthy skinned and of average height. Flowing headdresses, robes and cloaks of beige or white linen are worn along with boots of soft animal hide. It is the peculiar custom of all Djafﬂr to wear leather masks, which are made to cover the entire face. They will not remove these masks except in the privacy of their homes or tents believing that “the face mirrors the soul,” and that their masks protect them from hostile magic. Fashioned by Djaffir wizirs, these devices do indeed seem to confer some protection from magical inﬂuences and certainly are of practical use during sandstorms. Individuals of a more skeptical nature claim that the Djaffir wear masks simply to conceal their identities from those who, by one means or another, they eventually intend to relieve of their money.<br><br>The Djaffir were once nomads like the Bedu, but in ancient times discovered secrets of forging crimson steel and build the Balyana, The Crimson fortress, at the base of the only remaining mountain in the midst of the Safar Desert.&nbsp; This city-state trades with most of the counties surrounding the Safar making their merchants some of the more well-travelled individuals in the land.<br><br>Names: Abaza, Ajlan, Bayram, Durukan, Fukri, Ilhan, Necip, Oktay, Tabari, Ya’kub (male); Ajda, Denktash, Hanife, Roxelana, Suzan, Yelda (female). Djaffir do not use personal surnames, but use those of their merchant house. House names include Aricanli, Cetinok, Kasata, Sevim, and Yanalak. Names are always given as personal name followed by alim-(“House of”) house name, such as “Ajlan alim-Sevim.”<br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>People of the Desert</strong></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Bedu</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/53/Dervish.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/36/Bedumale1.jpg)</div></div><br>The Bedu (plural and singular are the same) live a predominantly nomadic existence. They are a clannish people with strong ties of blood. Families are grouped into clans, which in turn belong to a tribe. Clans within a tribe often share a common ancestor, though purely political alliances are not uncommon.<br><br>Many Bedu are traders, and their camel trains, which can stretch to over half a mile in length, are frequent sights in the great deserts. They produce little of their own, and serve as middle men between the disparate cities and cultures. A few, however, make a living as slavers, raiding small villages or attacking caravans, then selling captives in the Caliphate, the Sultanate or worse one of the undead rulers of Hekata.<br><br>All tribes control one watering hole, where the tribal sheikh has a permanent tent encampment. Any visitors who come in peace are welcomed to an oasis as honored guests, though non-Bedu must sleep in a separate tented area to avoid “contaminating” the nomads. The desert is a harsh mistress, and the Bedu have a strict code regarding hospitality. No one who asks for hospitality is ever refused, and they are treated as guests. However, they are also a pragmatic people, and, given the amount of precious food and water it would take to nurse a person back to health, unconscious travelers found in the desert may be left to their fate.&nbsp; Breaking the laws of hospitality is seen as a grave insult to one’s host and can result in guests being banished to the desert without food or water.<br><br><strong>Some Bedu rules:</strong><br><br>The various nomad groups have a bewildering list of rules governing their lives. Here are some of the more common ones travelers should remember.<br>* Never eat with your left hand or offer it in friendship (Bedu use the left hand to clean themselves or handle unclean materials).<br>* Never leave food on your plate (it implies the food is poor) and never ask for more (which implies the host is not generous).<br>* Belching after a meal honors the host (and not belching is an insult).<br>* A gift must be answered with a gift of equal or greater value (to offer a lesser value is an insult).<br>* Business is never discussed until after coffee has been drunk.<br>* Coffee is only drunk after small talk has occurred (it gives the host time to judge your character)<br>* Speak only if you have something to say (nomads do not engage in idle chatter).<br>* Never ask for a private meeting (it implies you have some bad desire in mind).<br>* Never be alone with a nomad woman, married or unmarried, who is not of your family (liaisons must always take place with another member of her family present).<br><br><br>Given where they live, it is perhaps not surprising that sand magic is the most practiced arcane art. Jinn-blooded are common, as are dervishes. <br><br>Names: Abdullah, Irfan, Jabbar, Mahmoud, Nasir, Qadir (male); Aminah, Bisar, Falak, Hala, Randa, Sulafah (female). Bedu surnames encompass the family, clan, and tribe names, in that order. Each name is separated by “dar-,”which means, “of.” For instance, a nomad may introduce himself as “Abdul dar-Farraj dar-Mazzin dar-Duamutishel.” Abishur is the individual’s name, Farraj is the name of the head of his family, Mazzin is the name of his clan sheikh, and Duamutishel the name of his tribe (which translates roughly as “Chosen of Duamutef ”). A mir (head of a clan) uses his personal name, that of his sheikh, and then his tribe. A sheikh uses only his personal and tribal names. The fewer names a nomad has, the more important he is.<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Jinn-Blooded</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/61/IfritBlooded.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/8/88/JinnBlooded.jpg)</div></div><br>Any race can be Jinn-Blooded.&nbsp; These people have the blood of the Jinn in their veins and take on some outwardly appearance of their Jinn ancestor.&nbsp; Ifrit and Marid blooded are most numerous of the Jinn blooded and seen as auspicious births while those of Vetala blood are children of ill-omen.&nbsp; Sila-blooded are extremely rare as the trickster Jinn are the least numerous on the physical plane, though their mischievous interest in other races ensures that they do occur.&nbsp; Ghouls are Jinn that have been corrupted and are feared by all.&nbsp; There are no known Ghoul-Blooded.&nbsp; &nbsp;Their culture and names are based on the conventions of the non-Jinn parent.<br><br><br><div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/2/23/Elftribalfemale2.jpg)</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>People of the Veldt</strong></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Nafasi Elves</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3e/Africanelf.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/d7/Elftribalmale2.jpg)</div></div><br>These dark-skinned semi-nomadic people follow herds of Great Basuro’s (huge horned buffalo-like creatures) that graze the Veldt.&nbsp; Their culture is extremely sophisticated with many taboos that can be difficult for outsiders to follow.&nbsp; They hold their traditional tribal herds as sacred and use the Basuro in many of their tribal rituals.&nbsp; Even those Nafasi that have taken to living a pastoral or the few that have taken to living in the city hold a reverence for the animals and keep many of their beliefs, adapting them to their new environment.<br><br>The Nafasi are an animistic people and worship both animal spirits and the spirits of their ancestors.&nbsp; The Nafasi practice a form of necromancy that allows their ancestors to continue to communicate long after death.&nbsp; It is not uncommon for a dead ancestor to be one of the tribal elders.&nbsp; This practice leads to many misunderstandings with other cultures where any form of necromancy is considered the height of evil.<br><br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Domadh Khans</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/6/6d/FemLeonid.jpg)(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/4/4a/DomadhKhan.jpg)</div></div><br>The Domandh Khans are nomadic bands of Leonin-like people.&nbsp; They have a short layer of fur covering their skin in patterned forms that help them blend into the surrounding Veldt.&nbsp; Some of the Domadh share a symbiotic relationship with prides of big cats that that live in the veldt.&nbsp; These Domadh tend to be more bestial in nature than others of their kind.<br><br>Domandh Khans are often at odds with the Nafasi as their lands often intersect and the Domadh raid the Great Basuro herds for sustenance.&nbsp; The Domandh Khans lands are closer to Sha’ib and a number of their people have taken to city life when drought seasons have gotten particularly severe.&nbsp; The city of Sha’ib has a unit of Domandh Khans that have won renown as loyal and dedicated soldiers in service of the City-State.&nbsp; The Domandh Khans are polytheistic and worship a variety of deities than can vary some between Khans.&nbsp; Each Khan has a patron deity, usually the patron deity of the Khans shaman.<br><br><strong>Noble Titles</strong><br><br><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">European Title</span></strong></td><td>|</td><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Bedu (m/f)</span></strong></td><td>|</td><td><strong><span class="bbc_u">Hadaree/Djaffir (mf)</span></strong></td></tr><tr><td>Knight</td><td>|</td><td>Bey/Beyah</td><td>|</td><td>Effendi/Effenda</td></tr><tr><td>Baron</td><td>|</td><td>Mir/Mirah</td><td>|</td><td>Pasha/Pashar</td></tr><tr><td>Count</td><td>|</td><td>(Not Used)</td><td>|</td><td>Sirdar/Sirdara</td></tr><tr><td>Duke</td><td>|</td><td>Sheikh/Sheikhah</td><td>|</td><td>Emir/Emira</td></tr><tr><td>Prince</td><td>|</td><td>(Not Used)</td><td>|</td><td>Meliq/Meliqa</td></tr><tr><td>King</td><td>|</td><td>(Not Used)</td><td>|</td><td>Sultan/Sultana (Hadaree) or Caliph/Calipha (Djaffir)</td></tr></tbody></table><br><br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>The Magic</strong></span></div><br><strong>Jinn Magic</strong><br><br>Elemental Magic that is highly formulaic.&nbsp; Most Jinn mages focus on one element in particular; Air, Earth, Fire or Water to start with. An Jinn mage power comes from the bound spirits of these raw elements. Their powers are limited and specialized, however, so&nbsp; young&nbsp; wizards&nbsp; must&nbsp; choose carefully, as the element chosen determines their available powers. As they advance in experience and wisdom, they may slowly learn to master other elements as well. <br><br>Casting: Jinn Mages must make gestures with at least one free hand and speak aloud various magical words at least at a whisper.

They learn the secret names of every type of object and the charms necessary to impart a tiny fraction of their own essence into these forms. The objects they awaken must be solid and non-living. Undead, plants, jinn, golems, and so on all count as living beings for this purpose, whereas stones, cut timber, and non-undead bones are not. While an alcemist could animate a cloak, he could not animate a pile of sand for the same purposes. <br><br>Casting: An Alchemist must have an item and the item to be animated must be touched as the spell is being cast.<br><br><strong>Sand Magic</strong><br><br>Sand magic is the understanding of how to manipulate the magical energy flowing through the great deserts. Despite its name, it also covers ash and dust, though not other particulate matter, like snow. In many ways, it is a form of “desert druidism,” though the term “druid” is unknown among desert dwellers. Sand magic is an old art, and one which has been used for both good and evil.<br><br>Casting: Sand mages must have a pound of sand, ash, or dust adjacent to them for each spell they wish to cast. This is rarely a problem in the deserts, but within towns and cities, tombs, or on a boat, however, sand is not always present. If a mage does not have a pound of sand, he cannot cast a spell. The sand is thrown at the target, and consumed in the casting.<br><br><strong>Dervishes</strong><br>Dervishes, sometimes called whirling dervishes, work their magic by spinning their bodies like a toy top. As the mage spins, her arms initially outstretched, so she winds the threads of magic around her, gathering more and more the longer she spins. Every spell has a unique style of spinning associated with it, though often these differences are very subtle, such as raising a thumb, or turning the hand a few degrees counterclockwise. When the Dervish eventually stops spinning, she draws her arms into her body, and the magical energy is released.<br><br>Casting: A dervish does not have to speak to work her magic, but she must have her arms and legs free and have room to spin. A dervish who does not spin cannot work magic.<br><br><strong>Wizir Magic</strong><br><br>To the unenlightened masses, wizirs are simply close advisors to nobles. That they can wield magic is common fact, and not treated as anything unusual. After all, what better way to protect yourself than have a powerful magician by your side?<br><br>Wizirs come in two distinct types. Those who act as advisors, spies, or similar are known as counselors, and are by far the more common type of wizir. Their magic is geared toward information gathering and courtly activities.<br><br>Guardians, on the other hand, use their magic to protect their lord from harm. Most disguise themselves as lesser courtiers or regular bodyguards, so as not to reveal their presence in advance to potential assassins. When a character decides to play a wizir, he must decide which type of mage he will play. Once chosen, this cannot be changed. Wizirs do not belong to any brotherhood or organization. Individuals serve an apprenticeship under a master, and then go out into the world to find employment befitting their skills.<br><br>Casting: Wizirs do not need to make gestures to cast spells, but must be able to speak in a clear voice.<br><br><strong>Khem-Hekau</strong><br><br>Hekau (which simply means “magic”) is the oldest form of sorcery known to humans. It dates back to the distant days of the Hekatic Empire, from where it takes its name. At first, practitioners summoned nature spirits to do their biding, calling upon their true names to force service. But as the empire expanded so the great pharaohs feared their own mortality and sought to become true gods, immortal rulers over an eternal realm. Masters and students of the art were ordered to find the secret of immortality, and so began the journey down a dark path.<br><br>When nature spirits could not provide the answer, the magicians turned their magic toward the spirits of the Hungering Dark, for surely those who had passed beyond could help them in their quest. From the realm of the dead, the mages learned the secrets of creating mummies and the fell magic for trapping a soul in the withered husk. They also learned how to force spirits into lesser corpses, how to call forth dark swarms of spirits to protect them and harm others. Within a generation, the art had become khem-hekau (“black magic”), better known as necromancy.<br><br>Living students of the art are rare, for the darkest, most potent secrets of khem-hekau were lost when the Hekatic Empire ceased to exist. Current students know only the lesser spells, formidable in their own right, but a far step from the power mages once wielded. Today, the greatest exponents of this art are the withered kings and liche-wizirs of the Withered Dynasty, some of whom actually helped develop the art.<br><br>The Nefasi Elves of the Veldt use a magic very similar to Khem-hekau though theirs are prayers that bring their dead back to life.&nbsp; Speaking to the dead, ancestral recall and putting souls to rest require the same casting for Nefasi as other practitioners of Khem-hekau, but the actual raising of the dead is a long and difficult process so the dead do not come back as angry and malevolent entities.<br><br>Casting: Khem-hekau mages must be able to speak to work their magic.<br><br><div align="center"><span style="font-size: 14pt;" class="bbc_size"><strong>The Gods</strong></span></div><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">The Gods of the Hadaree</div><div class="spoiler_body"><br><strong>Asaheem</strong><br><em>Titles:</em> Jann of Light and Air, Lifegiver, the Eternal Spring, Well of Knowledge<br><em>Aspects:</em> Light, Knowledge, Drinkable water, Birds, Wells<br><em>Symbol</em>: Pure white Ibis in front of a brazing sun.<br><em>Priesthood</em>: Clerics of Asaheem<br><em>Herald:</em> An ibis-headed human carrying a huge roll of papyrus and a quarterstaff<br><em>Holy Days:</em> Dawn of every day.

				I was thinking that Zidir would most likely just look for a way to squeeze something useful out of Imari. Seeing her connections to underbelly of Sha'ib he could try and pull the poor girl into the little conflict there is brewing with his slavery and some old 'friends' who now run a gang.

These baths tend to be a social gathering place.&nbsp; Now there are two ways to wash.&nbsp; One is a communal bath and the other is something more like a shower where water is poured over your body to remove the sweat.&nbsp; These are more private and I am sure there are alcoves that are more private than other places but nothing like individual rooms that are completely closed off.&nbsp; I would say there are secluded areas but not exactly private.&nbsp; The Crimson Palace can be rented out for private functions.

				I don't know that there's one single character that would make everything fall into place, so much as a larger cast in general. The world of a noir cop, a Batman, an urban adventurer, is colored by people of all stripes. I can't ask Crash or anyone to people this story with NPCs just for my use, and I can't any more write it myself, only for my own benefit, with the game's actual important characters being only bit players. There had to be a larger world going on, with discrete social circles. What we have instead is a cozy small group game, and it seems like we might end up with two social circles at most. I really appreciate the offer, but after thinking about all of this, it seems to make the most sense to go with a different character, a different story.

				So, Amarlo, Sain, Sabre and Madmartigan, Paladin and I were wondering if you all want to/were planning to stay given Crash's annoucement and if you wanted to or had plans to interact with our characters, as we could easily take our current story to a solo thread and continue there.

				It's okay ladies. I have just realized that running play by post games just doesn't work for me.&nbsp; I put to much pressure on myself and it sucks all the enjoyment out of playing. I am proud of the setting mash-up that is Sha'ib, as I like adding diversity to gaming but I just have a hard time posting in games that I create.&nbsp; I just want to go back to writing one character that I can really delve into and I can't seem to let myself do that when I run a game.

				Shoot. Okay. I appreciate the core of writers Sha'ib has retained and the affirming, empowering interest it held for even just a few of you. I wish things had gone differently, that I'd had more time to write and worked better to retain the <strong>dizzying</strong> number of people who quietly dropped interest. What remains certainly belongs to you, it's your story. It no longer makes sense for me to try and find a character and an arc to pursue. So, best of luck with however you decide to move forward with it.<br>

				We might compromise and finish our respective days or week before we all have our characters meet on a later date. Periodically synchronizing time should keep the timeline from blasting off in multiple directions.
