The city of Omrazir is one of the great cosmopolitan ports of the Sirdabi Caliphate, and the chief hub of activity in Song of Avaria.
About
Located on the northeastern coast of Idiri near the mouth of the Strait of Sorrows, Omrazir is a glittering city of commerce and learning, the whirling confluence of streams of merchants, scholars, and curious travelers from both north and south, and even from across the seas. As one of the major cities of the Sirdabi Caliphate, and situated as it is at the intersection of three different worlds, Omrazir is a cosmopolitan place and a bustling hub of trade, learning, spirituality, and political intrigue. Life is conducted at a hectic pace here, but the hubbub and clamor are always offset by the openness of the diverse citizenry and the transcendent gleam of towers and terraces warmed by the sparkling sunlight off the bay.
Or so it seems to the casual eye of the short-term traveler. Beneath the glimmering surface one glimpses from the docks, there seethes a hotbed of pirates and smugglers, con artists and thieves, and bitterly opposed factions whose rivalries sometimes owe more to tradition than to any more substantial animosity. In fact, the city thrives on conflict -- between religion and science, new money and old, legal trade and the black market, even between east and west. In some cases this conflict serves only to unsettle the city and endanger its residents, but at its best these tensions spur a dynamism and daring spirit that place Omrazir at the forefront of new and unexpected modes of thought and ways of doing things. Chaotic and restless and perilous it may be, but Omrazir is certainly never boring.
