Saradush

Saradush was a metropolis within the land of Tethyr.

History
Once a great bureaucratic center for the city's royal dynasty, Saradush became a producer of agricultural products for trade. Despite this, Saradush became an important waystation for trade in the area surrounding the Lake of Steam. Given its proximity to several kinds of terrain, along with increased prominence as trade traffic with Riatavin rises, Saradush also become a haven for travelers and adventurers alike.

Saradush fell into a period of decline following the Spellplague.

Government
Lord Mayor Tanithe Beyross was the current elected leader of Saradush. However Lord Oon Santele, Count of Surkazar is the true leader behind the Beyross.

Armed Forces
The Saradush Guard boasted 200 members and was adequate to resolve most disturbances within the walls of the city. If more help is needed, it was usually found in the form of ex-adventurers or mercenary citizens of the city.

Religion
Saradush was unusual as there were no major temples within the city. Those people who regularly worshiped did so in small shrines within their own homes. There were a few temples just outside the city's borders, such as that dedicated to Beshaba in the hills to the east.

Shortly after the Time of Troubles at least, a Temple of Waukeen was erected permanently in Saradush.

The Tankard-Tree
Despite being somewhat neglected, this tavern maintained good fare as its owner mourned the loss of his only child.
