Sanoba
Ranging from desserts to forests, Sanoba is a sparsely populated nation of mostly nomadic tribes that range seemingly at random. As travelers move along the few serpentine roads that meander through the differing climes, it is not uncommon to crest a hill and see a wayfarer camp.
Straddling the Monkshire Tributary, Sanoba City is a collection of pinkish-white stone buildings with arches and minuets prominently displayed throughout. A former oasis on a wayfarer route, the city now hosts open air markets and walled compounds that support the six tribes that rule the nation.
The Six Tribes

al-Ahmed
el-Rahaim
al-Hosein
el-Yousif
Politically, Sanoba is ruled by a king that is elected from the leaders of the six tribes. The last king, Tariq el-Yousif, die two years ago and the tribes have been unable to elect a replacement, leading to unrest and disturbances being led by the nomadic tribes.
