Stars may always guide our way,
From desert sands where winds blow harsh and long
But here's where our hearts will pray
And all our loves will slumber with a song
Roroshk (Roh-Roh-/ˈʃeɪk/) southeastern desert filled with red sands, canyons, and sprawling starry skies. Asides from some nomadic mercenary camps, Roroshk's capital is Freese.
Freese's religion takes flavors from Zoroastrianism. Freese has two patron Gods - Ahura, the creator God, and his brother, Angra, an equally destructive spirit. Ahura and Angra were said to constantly fight, and that the cycle of day and night were caused by this war. Freese is one of many grand cities said to be created by Ahura and Angra. The others have been lost through time.
Freese is considered an "old city" and the culture is vastly removed from the rest of Longzaru. Freisian culture is loosely based on that ancient Persian, Indian, Moroccan and Turkish societies. Freese is well known for having mosque-like shrines, arched doorways, and many climbing walls. The entire city of Freese is surrounded by walls in an attempt to keep sand and wind out of the inner reaches of the sprawling buildings. The people of Freese value clothes and works of art such as paintings and pottery made with metallic jewel colours and precious stones. Freisian people often keep themselves well-clothed when outdoors to protect themselves from the harsh sunlight and choking desert sand. The streets are often filled with markets at all hours of the day and night, particularly in a section of the city called The Grand Bazaar. Underneath of Freese, there is a great spring that gives water to the entire city and allows it to flourish in the harsh Roroshkian deserts.
There are many urban legends about Freisians as a people, and some of them are true
