Introduction

Mirajhar is a mystical, ever-moving city nestled within the Zanarak Desert. Unlike static settlements, Mirajhar’s structures shift and reform with the movement of the dunes, guided by the Gilaari. The city is said to possess a form of awareness, adapting to the whims of the desert winds and the influence of unseen forces. Travelers seeking refuge in Mirajhar must navigate its labyrinthine pathways, which never remain the same for long.

History

Origins and Nature

Mirajhar was first shaped by the Gilaari, who interpreted the movements of the dunes and structured their dwellings to move in harmony with their shifting structures. Over time, their deep connection to the land allowed them to refine their methods, creating a city that breathes with the desert rather than against it.

Architecture and City Layout

Mirajhar is unlike any other city in Adaris. Instead of rigid stone walls or towering buildings, its architecture mimics natural sand dunes, curving and flowing with the landscape. Structures rise and fall as the desert moves, appearing and disappearing like mirages.

Culture and Society

Inhabitants

Mirajhar is home primarily to the Gilaari, who serve as its caretakers, guides, and artisans. However, it is also a place of refuge for Galihi, wandering traders, and desert travelers who have learned to navigate its ever-changing streets.
