![[aserai 1.png]] # Quyaz ## Originally a [[Kannic]] Owned Town, an Extinct Culture, then Taken Over by Nahasa Mercenaries - Then it was Under [[Imperial]] Subjugation - But Now an [[Aserai-Sultanate]] Settlement Under [[Banu-Hulyan]] --- # Backstory & History [[Quyaz]] was once a mercantile republic that dominated the trade between the western ocean and the Perassic Sea, speaking the now all-but-extinct [[Kannic]] tongue, a relative of Nahasawi. But [[Imperial]] hegemony slowly snuffed out its trade, and the rulers was taken over by mercenaries from the Nahasa. It came intermittently under [[Imperial]] subjugation ([[Calradian-Empire]]) but today is a prized holding of the [[Banu-Hulyan]], a leading clan of the [[Aserai-Sultanate]] Sultanate. This settlement is part of the [[Aserai-Sultanate]]. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries [[Ortysia]], named for the quails who inhabit the nearby coastal marshes, was the first Calradian colony on the shores of the Perassic Sea ([[Calradian-Empire]]). In its early centuries, it fell under the authority of the [[Kannic]] city-state of [[Quyaz]], but the Empire's expansion soon united the colony with its mother republic. For centuries, sailors coming from the pirate-infested islands of the Bay of [[Charas]] gave thanks when they saw its towers looming through the haze of the western Perassic, signaling a return to safe [[Imperial]]-patrolled waters.
