Capital City: Incaendium

Capital Description: A walled city built primarily of baked clay, Incaendium is a rather roughneck but extremely hospitable city. There are more slums than they'd like to admit, but even the people there are generous and neighborly. It has a very close-knit feeling.

Climate: 68 F - 100 F (20 C - 38 C) , very hot all year round with extremes coming frequently enough, there isn't much of a rainy season either to make up for it. Temperatures drop substantially at night.

Architecture: Brick and clay baked out in the sun and molded into housing; only a few stories high, usually, but tiering in some places. Some buildings made of imported wood have managed to tolerate the sandstorms that blow in from time to time.

Culture: In a word, one could call it "wild". There is a fierce spirit to the people of Ardura that won't be tamed. There is a substantial mining trade.

Food: Imported goods mostly but also wildlife that roam the scrublands and some flora here and there.

Dangers: The extreme desert heat, getting into a fight with a roughneck in the streets.
