History
The White Fortress used to be a mining base, protected by a few mercenaries and desert people exiled from the southern Perneus. It was nearly lost to the desert multiple times due to wild creatures and the gnoll. It was so until the arrival of Akanna, who took control by bringing order and hierarchy to their operations. She did so by using her strong affinity to Necromancy, Divination and Illusion.
She oversaw the building of The White Fortress that drew more magic users not limited by societal rules.
Officially, White Fortress' government is an Oligarchy - ruled by strong magical users. In truth, people agree that it is a Monarchy - the word of Akanna is the rule and her inner circle will do everything in their power for it to remain so.
Due to this, magic users stoped congregating and the knowledge and talent of the outside world of magic grew scarce. This prompted the now-well-known raids by The Desert Spears, searching out loot, knowledge, and young people capable of magic.
Culture
The Tans, named by the muted clothing and colours of their house's walls, keep the city running: working in the mines, and some fields.
The Spears, soldiers, are allowed to travel farther from the city, preventing the gnoll skirmishes and searching out their camps. Their houses can be decorated and people themselves can be recognized by wearing white or black (leaders of the groups) robes and veils.
The Silks are recognized by very colourful clothes of high quality, are magic users regarded as royalty.
