+The isle of '''Zanzibaar''' is a wealthy tropical nation situated between the [[Lemnian Sea]] and the [[Notic Ocean]].
+==History==
+In ancient times, the island kingdom of Zanzibaar was quite famous to Sapient and seafarer alike. The neighbouring city-state of [[Shallam]] maintained amicable trade relations, purchasing vast quantities of spices and other goods from the exotic land, and for this Shallam named its market district "Zanzibaar Street." Throughout the [[Modern Age]], however, Zanzibaar's exotic wares were not enough to keep it from obscurity among the land-bound populace of [[Sapience]].
 ==Geography==
-The isle of '''New Hope''' is located just southwest of the [[city]] of [[Shallam]]. Along the northern coast of the island lies a small village founded a short time before the fall of the [[Seleucarian Empire]].
+Zanzibaar sits between Lemnian and Notic waters: east of [[New Hope]], south of the [[Ulangi Isles]], and southeast of Shallam. The isle is dominated by dense, low-lying jungle thickets that push right up to the main walls of the city, interspersed with the occasional spice plantation, and the shadowy growth provides a refuge for such elusive creatures as the Baarian [[tiger]]. White beaches and sand bars crop up in the narrow channels between the kingdom's islets. In the waters to the southeast, the [[Phocian Reaches]] ensure a near-constant [[triton]]ic presence.
+==Culture==
-==History==
+Owing largely to its place as a nexus of commerce from nations the world over, the kingdom of Zanzibaar enjoys a comfortable level of wealth and luxury. The large mercantile population has allowed for a sizeable middle class to develop, and the spices produced in its local plantations are prized so that even the agricultural sector does not want for [[Gold sovereigns|gold]]. This exposure to all manner of cultures has nurtured a fairly cosmopolitan way of life. Central to the city is the palace of Zanzibaar, wherein foreign diplomats await audiences with the king amidst the intrigues of the royal court.
-Originally sponsored by the [[Church]], New Hope was founded as a sanctuary for the citizens of Shallam who found themselves weary of endless conflict.
 ==Inhabitants==
-*the [[Abbess]]
+*[[Abelsa]]
-*[[Andari]], keeper of the orchards
+----
-*[[Balban]], the fisherman
-==Culture==
-The people of New Hope are led by a small sisterhood of priestesses, whose monastery is the literal and spiritual centre of the community. The young women allow light to guide their actions and welcome visitors to their home asking only in return the respect of their peaceful lifestyle.
-==Shops==
-The [[Tavern of Hope]] is located just north of the monastery and serves a variety of local edibles. Situated on the western side of the island north of the orchards is a well-kept stable that sells a variety of mazaran horse [[mounts]].
-==Flora and Fauna==
-The island and its surrounding waters are filled with animals both wild and domestic as well as exotic fruit-bearing trees and plants.
-The waters heading toward the island can prove dangerous for unexperienced [[adventurer]]s as the fins of spearhead sharks can be seen cutting through the water. Giant sea turtles rest upon azure waves, while partially opened oyster shells lay among the beds of aquatic [[kelp]] that thrives in the salty water.
