Outremer    Lore    Locations    Settlements      Ishtar

Ishtar, "The City Carved in Stone", is one of the few permanent settlements within the Shifting Seas. Ishtar has recieved a near mythical status due to the arduous lengths one would have to go through in order to find it, however the amount of goods coming from the city, as well as travellers with stories of the city, are enough to ensure at least those in Outremer that it does exist somewhere in the sands.
Ishtar is perhaps the settlement which stays most true to the culture of the nomadic people who inhabit the land. Ishtar natives are known for staying true to the older beliefs of the Pantheon of Outremer, shunning the reforms of Prester John. They are also known for being expert navigators of the desert, and have particularly assertive women and docile men, subverting cultural expectations of the region at large.
