| 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==
| |
| 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==
| |
| 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.

| Located within the [[Garden of the Dryads]], the entrance to the '''Temple of Kastalia''' is marked by a giant water lily.
| |
|
| |
| Visitors must first navigate several underwater caves before reaching the surface of a river, which flows into a lake. Mists cover the entire area, making it extremely difficult to navigate.
| |
| A strong undercurrent also flows under these waters, and lost adventurers may find themselves swept out of the temple by it.
