Dhaztanar

Dhaztanar, or the Crystal-towered, was the capital of Semphar and the kingdom's largest city.

Location
Dhaztanar marked one end of the Silk Road, making it a bustling epicenter of trade and commerce. The city was nestled along the eastern banks of the Semphar Water which was a portion of the larger lake of Gbor Nor.

Description
Most of the building in Dhaztanar were constructed of stone or brick; wood was scarcely used since it had to be imported from the Shalhoond.

A typical house in Dhaztanar was two stories tall, making the state building appear more grand as they towered over them.

Inhabitants
The Caliph and master of Semphar, Abu Bakr, lived in Dhaztanar within the splendid palace of Dar al-Kalif.
