Al Trorajah

Within the western desert lies the singular city of Al Trorajah. A city built on the bones of its predecessors, the Confederates of the desert have survived a great many hardships. Lack of water and constant harsh weather, along with the nearby presence of the [monstrous wasteland], make the land nearly inhospitable. But these challenges have defined them, transforming them into a very different civilization than any other within the Confederacy of the West.

Industry & Trade

The economy of Al Trorajah revolves around the farming of incense and spices, along multiple profitable gem mine. In many ways, this requires trade with other confederate states. However, this usually ends up in the Tror's favor. They possess a monopoly on these spices and varieties of incense.

Architecture

The city of Al Trorajah is built upon the combined ruins of three previous civilizations who were here before, mining the same sources of gems and relying upon the same incenses and spices. As such, much of the city's architecture revolves around repurposed old ruins. This is expressed in three distinct styles.
The first is a simple design, and the most commonly used within the city. This is of simple adobe, mudstone, and sandstone fashioned into simple cubic geometric shapes. (similar to that of primitive desert civilizations on earth) There is a very simplistic design to these buildings, with very few aesthetic designs. You'll most commonly find this style of building among the poorer class within Al Trurajah. This was the original primitive architecture of the first human settlers in the area.
The second is a style of building that revolves around circular design, with many domes and cylinders. These buildings are made of sandstone, and are filled with intricate designs and mosaics. These buildings are often only ever occupied by the rich. Originally this was a design created by sun elves who found the crumbled civilization of the human settlements, and they imitated it but brought their own elvish stylings.
The third architectural design was originally created by dragonborn who built their city out of their overthrown dragon masters. The buildings are created using dragon bones as the beams and scaly leather as the outside covering to protect them from the elements. For the most part, the buildings are just large three-sided tents, with a cloth covering for the last wall that acts as a door.
