Tar’Zuhl is not a city—it is a proving ground. There are no kings, no lords, no masters. Only fire and will decide who leads, who follows, and who perishes.

*Anarchist Rule by Strength – There is no government, no codified law. The strong lead, the cunning survive, and the weak become fuel for the flames.

|Major settlements and strongholds=Though chaotic and ever-shifting, Tar’Zuhl is held together by a few key strongholds, each serving a purpose in the Creed’s endless war against the world.

*'~~''The Smoldering~~ Citadel~~'''~~ – The black heart of Tar’Zuhl, where the strongest warriors and prophets gather. It is a half-ruined fortress, its towers melted by past eruptions, now held together with chains and sheer willpower.

*~~'''~~Varkath Port~~'''~~ – A pirate stronghold, where soot-blackened ships bring plunder from the ~~Free Cities of [[Zanarak]]~~. It is a haven of salt, blood, and fire, where trade is done in stolen goods and unholy deals.

*~~'''~~Red Hollow~~'''~~ – A lawless war-camp, home to mercenaries, cultists, and outcasts. It is built atop cooling lava fields, where those who fail the Creed’s trials rot in the heat.

*~~'''~~Sulfur’s Cradle~~'''~~ – A place of mad prophets and fire-priests, where the most fanatical among the Creed study the will of the flames. Those who hear the whispers of fire come here to seek revelation… or be consumed by it.

*~~'''~~The Black Bastion~~'''~~ – A defensive stronghold, standing as the first line of resistance against the Korrash, who see Tar’Zuhl as an abomination. Its warriors fight with flame-lances, ember-hounds, and molten tar pits, ensuring the Creed does not burn alone.

|Relations with other factions=To the Korrash, Tar’Zuhl is a wound upon the land, an offense to the natural order. The Korrash believe fire is to be respected, not enslaved, and they see the Burnt Creed as heretics who have turned fire into a mockery of itself.
