Minas Abyad

The city of Minas Abyad (Qartaban: white cliff), formerly the Grand City Republic of Minas Abyad is an important city in the Kingdom of Qartaba. Formerly an independent city-state, Minas Abyad would find itself incorporated into the nascent kingdom in a bloodless takeover, having long since left its golden age with the advent of the Age of Turmoil. Despite this downturn, it would remain the most important city in the region.

Having been an important node in the global trade network, Minas Abyad has long been a successful, rich, and diverse city. Hosting people from all corners of the planet, it would become known as the "world city", and the "city of many faces".
