Ganja

The Holy City
Ganja is an ancient city built before the time of the local Quarsian people came to rule over the region. There are many theories as to who the original builders of the city including the elves and some ancient race of dwarven people, though some even believe that the city was built by an ancient race of humans known as the “Kolden”, but despite all the theories and rumors there is no proof of any of it.

Settled atop the Sylvan Falls the city was literally built on a series of bridges and trusses and sits at the very edge of the falls. No one knows why this city was built where it was or even how it was built, but the Shahraam has invested a great deal of money and expertise in finding out. The City has served as a spiritual center for the Quarsian people for generations and that tradition has been carried over into the new regime. The city has proven to be difficult to reach, impossible to attack and despite the roar of the falls, very peaceful… a perfect sort of holy city.

The Canton
Situated in the north central portion of Quarsus the Canton is proving to be a vital and profitable trade and military hub for Quarsus and while the capital city is difficult to reach the various cities and villages sprouting up along the highways are proving very profitable. The majority of the Canton is filled with fertile fields, lush forested filled with elm, oak and maple and tall, majestic mountains and deep, cold rivers, but the land is wild and rugged and will take generations to truly tame.
