Mozaz

Mozaz is a nation populated primarily by dwarves found in Alrakhet.

Originally a simple trade outpost situated amidst a rocky stretch of desert in Alrakhet, Mozaz grew into a large trading hub, eventually expanding into a magnificent city state in its own right.

History
Mozaz was founded as a small camp situated at the rocky edges of the desert in Alrakhet, serving food, water and shelter to the merchants bringing in goods in and out of the desert and guiding travelers through the harsh terrain. In time, it grew into a sizable trading post.

Jewels On The Wind
As the settlements grew, the dwarves of the region began cutting into the rocky outcroppings they had built their trading posts around, and excavating amidst the shifting sands to provide stone to reinforce their homes against the strong winds and wild beasts that filled the desert. It was not long before veins of ore and gemstones were discovered crisscrossing the dunes, causing many merchants to hire caravans passing through the region to spread the word to bring them workers. Many ambitious young travelers soon flooded the region hoping to find their fortune, and in time, the settlements began exporting their own goods, not merely ferrying goods western lands or coasts of the Empire back and forth.

A Jeweled Legacy
Concerned that shifting trade routes, or conflict with its trading partners might someday cripple the budding nation, Ghebtuns farsighted leaders financed a number of endeavors over the years to ensure the stability of their home. The most prominent of which took note of a large number of displaced arcane scholars as Ghebtuns priestly orders grew in political power. By setting up and funding a number of magical schools and colleges, the city began developing a new market creating and exporting magical items. Many of these newly trained magic users also became prominent defenders of the city that had welcomed them, greatly improving its military strength.
