Shagrela'al is a great peninsula attached to southern Weshif. Unlike Weshif, Shagrela'al is semi-arid and sustains many kinds of fauna and flora. In the late summer, monsoons bring critical rains the land. Shagrela'al is bounded to east by the Titans Sea and on the west by the Sea of Malankhas. Shagrela'al is separated from Tiyakhommat in the Sahimb by the Strait of Halawjat. Shagrela'al is considered the homeland of the ancient Thammazite Tribes and is the heart of the Imzaha religion. The King of Shagrela'al rules from Jamseguph. The Kingdom of Shagrela'al maintains important relations with Shaliz-um-Warif, Rala-Pithur, Safaadi, Hœrnect, and the Izibjaalite Sheikdom across the Titans Sea as the most sacred pilgrimage sites of the Imzaha religion rest inside the kingdom. The neighboring lands have considerable Imzaami populations. The Zehlibs of Shagrela'al have been the spiritual heads of the Imzaha religion for over a thousand years. The term 'zehlib' is usually translated as 'king.'
Natural Shagrela'al
Shagrela'al is a semi-arid land relieved by monsoons in the late summer and light rains in the winter. It has very hot summers and mild winters. Drought-resistant plants and grasses are common, including acacia trees, balsam, and sycamore fig trees. While not a true desert, Shagrela'alite travelers rely on oases and cisterns to supplement their precious water.
Kingdom of Shagrela'al
The Kingdom of Shagrela'al is the government of the land and is headed by a direct descendant of the prophet Ammudiyn the Seer. The Dagaithi word, 'zehlib,' is translated as king, but means something more like pious leader or pious head. Shagrela'al is proud of its historic freedom from chaos dominion. Unlike most other nations in the Pallathantic-Memnosian, Shagrela'al has never been ruled by a Chaos Lord.
Cities of Shagrela'al
The capital city of Jamseguph rests inland from its port city of Ephsiqah. Other cities include Lirekh and Rowda on the border, Imshalleel, Lekhashai, Herrrey, Phereg, Kushehr, Khafwe, Tambina, Tigdid, Thra-Kaa, and coastal Sa'ajia. Biyur, Imaqtiyl, and Qupha Sahal are important island cities.
Flying Steeds
Shagrela'al is famous for its winged magical steeds that are the mainstay of the aerial cavalry of the Kingdom of Shagrela'al.
