Abu'Hamrah

Abu'Hamrah is one of the newest settlements in the Emirate of Najer1. Abu'Hamrah means .... in local dialect. The fact that Abu'Hamrah is located at an important crossroad with roads to Nahrayn and Campus_Ordo along with a port connecting the city to nations overseas, makes Abu'Hamrah a major trading settlement.

The founding
The settlement of Abu'Hamrah was founded in the Shifting Era of the Emirate of Najer1, despite Abu'Hamrah being a very new settlement, it has managed to grow into a dominant trading power in the north-eastern parts of Rathnir when it comes to horses and brews. The founders of Abu'Hamrah belong to the clan of Jaden'Sahd, which can be linked back to the Bacri Prom, a nomadic clan that still has a huge influence on the Emirate of Najer1 and has brought forth many important political and military leaders, the most notables one being Asdrubal Hanno-faj niv Bacri, the former Emir and Maeryna Bacri, the current Seyoh of Kijaro and Governor of Mahait.

When the Jaden'Sahd clan set up camp at the location that is now called Abu'Hamrah, their intention was not to settle. It was when they discovered the Holy Water of Abu'Hamrah, that they decided to settle down. The Abu'Hamrah brewery, in which this Holy Water is used, was set up quickly after and was a huge success, not just in the Emirate of Najer1, but also through out the whole of Rathnir. Especially the Abu'Hamrah Jenever and Old Jenever was something the upper-class of Rathnir sought after.

Thanks to the big financial successes of the Abu'Hamrah brewery, the Jaden'Sahd were able to construct a fortress on top of the brewery. The fortress is the outer most fortress on the border with The Order of the Red Quarterstaff and therefore has a key-defensive role in case of conflict.
