Zalawi is a province of the Sirdabi Caliphate, its only Idiri possession lying south of the Great Hazari Desert. With a hospitable sandy coastline along the Sea of Salaah, rich iron mines in its interior, and trade connections with peoples of both land and sea, Zalawi is a vital contributor to the caliphate's prosperity. Sailors, shipbuilders, and daring entrepreneurs, the Salawi people's thriving trade with the land of Jalanjhur predates even that of the Sirdabi themselves.
Geography
People
The Salawi are the native people of the province, inhabiting not only the long coastline but also much of the interior. Coastal Salawi typically occupy towns and cities built directly upon the shore, even in places where the natural harborage is poor. Those of the interior dwell chiefly among the hills, where the province's famed iron mines are located, and along major overland trade routes. Many Sirdabi also make their homes in the cities of the coast, and numerous families in these towns are the product of intermarriage between Salawi and Sirdabi in generations past.
In addition to these more common peoples, pastoral Xhalantu of the Bhalanga and Dria'a tribes inhabit the Opone Grasslands, herding their cattle and growing a variety of crops in their tightly-knit village communities. Within the mazy depths of the Vast Salt Marsh, scattered bands of Kiliku also make their home, these resourceful people living off the natural bounty of the wetlands and occasionally trading with the small Salawi villages living around the marsh's edges.
