As one approaches the City of Nashaki, trains of caravans lead through the sprawling outskirts to the numerous open city gates. The largest gate is on the west side and leads past the fortified walls into an octagon of eight districts. Each district features unique markets and is maintained by one of the eight Towers that rule Nashaki. In the city, heavily guarded, is the prized oasis that supports the Nashaki people to flourish in such an unforgiving land.

New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....

This will be Nashaki Trade Academy registration/enrollment thread. The Academy is open though, so feel free to join up if interested! More details will be added here, soon.
For many arcs, the Council of Nashaki has discussed the merit of establishing a school or institute like in Viden, Rynmere, Scalvoris, or even Etzos. As of the first of Vhalar in Arc 720, the Nashaki Trade Academy opened its doors for the first...
Old words from dead masters clattered about in Bakar's crowded mind. The qi'ora considered the phrase as he thumbed over the copper he held in his hand, one ore of many stacks piled high in the absent workshop. He could feel the ridges of...
Demda reclined in her nice flat that Point had helped her locate in the Southern Districts. It turned out he had a lot of contacts within the Tower of Arms. It was almost alarming how helpful he’d been after their first meeting, but then she...
The language preferences of peoples of various city states never ceased to amuse Woe. In Etzos, Ith’ession was the main language, yet most everyone spoke some form of common. In fact, in his time there he’d not heard one word of Ith’ession, to his...
Woe felt very much like a fish out of water during his first class of glass blowing. While he'd entertained the idea of attending University while in Rynmere, that notion had fallen by the wayside as he fell into slavery again, and then escaped to...
Demda tries to hideout in the city of Nashaki, after returning home from the caravan's long journey. There, she's stranded, left without her escort or guide and panics by taking radical efforts toward changing her appearance. Once inside the slums, she seeks out one of her older contacts, hoping that he's not loyal to Qais after death.
Demda had spent precisely nineteen days in Dimza’s company before she realized he had no intention to impart anything of to her. By then, he had gotten sick of the debaucheries and pleasures on offer in the city, and perhaps even her own playfully...
Having murdered Qais for his alleged, planned betrayal, Demda has to fend for herself for a time. Biding her time until the Caravansary is ready to move on from Nashaki, she acquires some needed supplies while avoiding anyone she knows.
She laid up in the spare cot of a trusted friend the night she murdered Qais. Sleep eluded her, and with no other company than the stars in the sky outside the window, Demda was left to thoughts of what had happened. The city outside was bustling,...
Somewhere between the heart of human suffering and the production and retrieval of glittering treasures, there lay the West Districts of Nashaki. It was no accident that the Tower of Flesh and Tower of Gems both occupied the same district. One...
Ezili woke up early, in the sense that she'd only been sleeping for about two breaks at most. They were so close though, and she had only gone to sleep so that she could enter Emea and check on some matters. The biqaj surveyed the camp first, to make sure the slaves...
11th Break
Ninth of Ymiden, Arc 720
Continued from Can You See Me Through Those Eyes
In a clay-and-stone abode, the group had taken shelter from the sandstorm. It had ravaged across the hot lands, and blotted out the sun for a good break before it finally passed over. The winds followed it...
5th Break
Ninth of Ymiden, Arc 720
Continued from Careful What You Wish For
The caravan was making decent time in their travel across the desert roads that stretched between Nashaki and the Crescent Sea Docks. Wagons, and horses, and carts, and beasts of burdens - all traveled in a long...
70 Ashan, 718 ‣ Nashaki “Overseer said he’d never seen him take more than he’s owed. Well I just don’t see that! Far as I can tell, any one of them’s viable to have taken it, even the overseer! Betcha that’s why he’s coverin’ for his guys!”
“Uh…”
“Checked the docks up’n down myself. All night,...
70 Ashan, 718 ‣ Nashaki “Ow,” Saza mumbled, immediately after smacking his open palm against his arm. He pulled his hand away and stared at the squashed little mosquito that’d landed on him, lips drawn into a pout. The legs and little bits were swatted away, and he reached down into the water to...
Hyde was in his FIFTIES. Saza had counted up the arcs – six-six-five from seven-zero-zero, that was… thirty-five, plus eighteen, which was… fifty-three, so he’d be fifty-three that arc – and he’d tried not to let it show to much on his face, but he was shocked. He was...
6 9 - A S H A N - 7 1 8 . . . N A S H A K I
Another late night after a trial of drinking and napping in the tavern of the inn where he stayed. Hot. Dry. Noisy. Hyde kept to his table, in the corner, away from the brighter cast of candle and lantern lights. Unlike a few nights ago, the place was...
Saza didn’t find a place to sleep. Or, he didn’t look for one. Either way he didn’t sleep, and once he left the inn near the Tower of Stone, he set off to head back to the one he’d first found Hyde in. It wasn’t a long walk, and it was shorter still without an intoxicated...
7 0 - A S H A N - 7 1 8 . . . N A S H A K I
Hyde didn't have it in him to do much of anything except follow the unusual biqaj. It took most of his energy just to keep walking in a straight decent path. On occasion, he felt a hand at his arm or elbow or shoulder to help guide him. At some point,...
The trills following Dion’s little taunt were… a bit of a blur.
“Shut up, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Come on, Dion.”
“Don’ tell mm me t’ shut up, Kalb… not gonna work!”
“Yeah, well, I wish it would. I’m going back to the room. Don’t...
69 Ashan, 718 ‣ Nashaki Saza wiped the back of his bony hand across his forehead. Slick with a light coating of sweat, his hair had begun to stick to his face, and frizzed beyond control everywhere else. He’d unbuttoned the rest of his shirt so the dark fabric hung loose over his shoulders, but...
Saza fucking hated that name. He hated it so much that he debated ignoring the strained shout from the hall. A heavy sigh pushed his breath into the pillow that his face was pressed into. How he had expected to get any sleep lying in such an uncomfortable...
Hyde didn't know why the young biqaj seemed intent to follow him... but there had to be a reason? A reason he couldn't recall due to the blacked-out nature of the past several inebriated trials. Time had started...
