Azzabboon

The Sultanate of Azzabboon rests along the eastern shore of the Bay of Shelekhumbia in the Memnosian Sea. The capital, Zamzafara, is one of the great cities of the Pallathantic Region, and commands the mouth of the Thybdis River. Zamzafara in recent centuries has striven as a rival with Aurice for command of trade routes to the East.

The Sultanate of Azzabboon is neighbors with Tinchozzo, Rhovundy, Khalimoz, Bihirbespa, and Beph-Themesh. Its capital city, Zamzafara, controls access to the Thybdis River.

The Sultanate was created subsequent to the Congress of Bryndyd which oversaw the dismantling of much of the Gorcorumbese Empire after the Fifth Geddamin War.

Competition with Aurice

Azzabboon competes with the Aurician Empire for trade with the East. Its capital city, Zamzafara, controls access from the Memnosian Sea to the mighty Thybdis River which offers a navigable route well into Eloaria, much farther than the Ibrew River which serves Aurice. Indeed, Zamzafara is the western terminus of the Great Silk Highway. However, unlike Aurice, Zamzafara rests on the mainland and has historically been vulnerable to warlords attacking from the steppes, from the Adamantine Mountains, and from Shelekhumbia to the south. The fortunes of Zamzafara have historically waxed and waned with vicissitudes of conquest followed by periods of prosperity. Today, Zamzafara is a growing emporium for merchants voyaging along the Great Silk Highway.
