Al Fallahin

Al Fallahin is a young city within the sprawling You'toub Desert. Like many city states of this desert, it has experienced multiple violent conflicts with rival cities, as well as the roaming hordes of nomadic desert riders and wild bands of hulking troll warriors.

During the desert's troubles with the marauding demon El Gorithmo, the Sharifs of the city, Lance and Dave, began a campaign against a fellow man of the law who was corrupted by the gold of tyrants. The thralls of the Dark Lawman formed a communion with a dark demigod known as Narcus, the King of Rats. This drew the attention of many of the gods, but as they turned their gaze upon the thralls, Narcus and his new allies disguised the source of the dark ritual to emanate from the Sharifs of Al Fallahin. Already under siege by many armies, the gods did not question that the city was responsible, and smote Lance and Dave. The now leaderless defenders of the city had no choice but flee or be destroyed by the might of their enemies. Shocked by the brutal sack of the fledgling city as told by fleeing refugees, the nearby 'Toubian Sultanate of House Bread'id raised an army to relieve the survivors from their captors, and instructed the High Magisters and Priesthood to attempt an audience with the gods. Miraculously, the gods confessed their error, and restored the city to its former splendor, and returned Lance and Dave from oblivion. Upon their return, Lance and Dave were made co-rulers of the newfound Emirate of Serif.

Many people of the Sultanate, believing that the city was blessed, began visiting the city on holy pilgrimages, and some of these travelers settled within. The city is now a willing vassal of the Sultanate of House Bread'id, and the citizens hold many festivals celebrating their new allies and countryfolk.
