| - | “I marveled at the height of the city wall as I rode toward Zimar. I was awed as I passed through the city gate: the sturdy doors, the serious guards, and the heavy portcullis. I smiled when I saw dozens upon dozens of houses with red clay tile roofs, domed palaces of deep blue and white marble, and minarets nearly a hundred feet tall. This city was bursting with life, and trade, and wonder. I adored the painstaking detail in everything I saw: the lions emblazoned on the soldiers’ uniforms, the bas-reliefs on the walls of the houses, and the intricately carved fountains. | + | //“I marveled at the height of the city wall as I rode toward Zimar.

| - | “At the same time, I had an inescapable feeling that something was terribly wrong with this city. Every word I heard felt calculated, every smile seemed feigned, and everyone looked at me as though they were sizing me up. I have never felt so alone as I did that day.” | + | //“At the same time, I had an inescapable feeling that something was terribly wrong with this city.

| The long period of occupation also shaped the attitudes of the people in Zimar. Even though 2 centuries have passed since the end of the Grand Campaign, most residents of Zimar hate Qadirans and are determined never to let their southern foes humiliate Zimar again. It is said that Zimar has enough supplies to last 5 years if besieged, and it can field an army of nearly 10,000 soldiers when necessary. Many units of the Taldan Phalanx and the Taldan Horse are stationed in Zimar, and the city has hundreds of men and women who belong to elite paramilitary units—including the city watch called the Zimar Sentinels and the Golden Templar inquisitors of Abadar—who can bolster the ranks of the military in times of war. Lastly, every adult citizen in Zimar is at least nominally a member of the Blue Guard, Zimar’s militia. | The long period of occupation also shaped the attitudes of the people in Zimar.

| - | High Strategos Maxillar Pythareus, a descendant of the war hero Sarius Pythareus, rules Zimar with an iron fist from the fortress known as Abadar’s Pillar. Over 80 feet high, the fortress’s keep is the tallest building in Zimar. Abadar’s Pillar was built on a spot overlooking the Jalrune River, surrounded by a moat filled by diverting water from the river. Abadar’s Pillar is described in detail beginning on page 40. | + | High Strategos Maxillar Pythareus, a descendant of the war hero Sarius Pythareus, rules Zimar with an iron fist from the fortress known as Abadar’s Pillar.
