Nishaat

Nishaat is a city located in the westernmost Najera'jad province of the Emirate of Najer, and is the home of the Nishaati faith. It was established on an abandoned fort by a group of squatters fleeing religious persecution, and has since become a large city.

After being forcefully outcast from Fjordheim, Savernia, Nishaat Yesish and his companions founded the city of Nishaat. Yesish, the serving leader of Nishaat, claims to be a prophet of God, colloquially referred to as 'Wajah' by followers of Nishaati Submission.

Yesish and his companions quickly established contact with the government of Najer, and formalized their accession into the nation as a city. Followers of Nishaati Submission were allowed to freely practice their faith.

Pom Nishaat is established, giving the people of Nishaat official political and territorial recognition within Najer.

Nishaat expands eastward and inadvertently creates an international crisis over the destruction of a small mineshaft entrance, which had been designated as a site of historical significance by the government of Najer. The structure was part of the ancient village Shahbah.

An invisible being claiming to be Wajah began creating orange bursts around Nishaat, which then centered at the fountain in the town square. A crystal appeared on the fountain, and it was demanded that followers of Wajah build a grand temple dedicated to their god. Two blessings were given, Wajah's Token, and Wajah's Blessing. This event continues to be cited by followers of Nishaati Submission as a significant moment that lends credence to their faith.

Physical Geography
Nishaat is located in an arid desert on the northern frontier of Nieden, and along the southern reaches of the Silver Sea. The area had no natural foliage or grasslands, and all flora were imported from other regions of Rathnir. Palm trees have since flourished in the city due to the vast amounts of sunlight and moisture brought in from the sea.

Political Geography
Nishaat's borders mostly resemble those of Pom Nishaat, but include some lands of the unrecognized Pom Rotel. The city is fully within the Najera'jad Province of Najer, but borders the Sadahef Province to its east. The city directly borders the cities of Sibkea, Kafas niv Jaseda, and monument Asri Vodon. Additionally, the city shares a maritime border with the cities of Sikkari Isle, Dualfinia, and Izumo.
