Mina' Al'Amal

Mina' Al'Amal (meaning Port of Hope), often just called Mina, is a town in the Askaru Federation. It was part of Ashura province until the merger of Ashura into the Azeraan Crownlands province. It is located on an island just off the coast of Ashura and right next to the city of Alum. Mina' Al'Amal serves as an important trade port for ships in the Phagosian Sea.

History
For a long time, the island that Mina' Al'Amal is on was uninhabited. However, in 930 ACA, the artist Astrid Sindarin began the construction of a town on the island. By selling many artworks, Astrid became very rich and was able to fund the quick expansion of the city. At the time, Ashura was under the Aurlûnor Velande, and Mina' Al'Amal quickly became a very important city. In 1038 ACA, Se-khem-ka Khamen al-Qamiya took over as mayor of the city. The city's authority also expanded to include a small village south of Mina' Al'Amal.
