Cordival
The city of Cordival sits at the very tip of the peninsula of the caliphate, surrounded by a half-circle of water. Its location at the entrance to the Bay of Bhutan makes it the ideal location for the caliphate navy’s headquarters, as it protects the other cities against any sea-borne attack. Grand Admiral Faysal ibn Haidar Al Ammu keeps a tight rein on the navy’s section of the city, including setting guards at its internal wall. This does not severely restrict interaction between town and headquarters; many people from the city work in support of the ships and sailors, and many sailors have families in the port, or other important people to visit when off duty.
Cordival’s harbor also serves a fleet of fishing boats and numerous merchant traders. Many ships coming from far-off Akados put in at Cordival on their way to Bhutan, needing a day or two in port after so long at sea.
The Sultanate of Cordival controls some of the most arable land in the caliphate. North of the Bhethos Marshes and along the west coast, the land is watered by rain off the ocean. The clement temperatures allow for growing many types of fruit, grains, and vegetables. Despite the good land, Cordival alone cannot grow enough food for the entire peninsula although they do trade a large amount to Bhutan and Hava. The Bhethos Marshes also produce a good quantity of edible products as well as reeds and grasses for weaving baskets, mats, and more.
