Aristahl Settlement in Adijari | World Anvil

Aristahl

No nation has given up more in the quest to purge Adijari of dragons than the amesha nation of Aristahl. Like most traditional amesha civilizations, Aristahl is ruled by a shah and a spirit. The Spirit Ta'ar is the driving force behind Aristahl's continuous sacrifice. He convinced the Aristahl ameshas to decimate the trees within and surrounding Aristahl. This action served their mission in two ways. It ruined the habitat of the sobekian dragons that lived there, and the wood was harvested and sent towards the construction of Delthurk. But this action hurt the health and wellness of the ameshas of Aristahl, who are magically bonded to the well being of the land they live upon. For this reason Aristahl is very much a divided nation. One Shah, Zahk, attempted to prioritize the people and land over the the war against dragons, but Ta'ar named him a dragon ally which divided the nation further. The conflict between the shah and ruling spirit culminated in Zahk's death, and Ta'ar leaving Aristahl, though still influencing it from afar. The nation continues to sacrifice by supporting Delthurk, although with Ta'ar no longer present in Aristahl, that support is also waning.
