Editing Dark Ring (section)

=== Khabat ===
Khabat, the miracle city, the jewel between two rivers, the cradle of civilization, sits at the heart of the Eshai Caliphate. It was Eshai herself who found the land they lay between the two azure rivers nestled in the heart of the desert. She laid the first stone of the royal palace herself before becoming the first Caliph. Since then the city has risen to be a hub of trade, politics, and cultural exchange. Khabat is the jewel of the Eshai Caliphate and its beating heart.

==== ''Capital City'' ====
Khabat acts as the capital city of the Eshai Caliphate. The roads of the nation trace their roots to the city. Amongst sprawling stone buildings lie every amenity of civilization. Many believe that Khabat brings together the best of the Caliphate into one place. Faisal said once that Khabat shows what could be across the Caliphate.

==== ''House of Eshai'' ====
The royal palace stands as a testament to the Caliphate’s power. Its great blocks of limestone were mined from the Veld Gale mountains hundreds of miles away before being dragged to the new foundations. The structure encompasses a garden which contains every known plant on the Dark Ring along with an artificial waterfall which stands eighty feet tall. Within are also halls used for political debate, whole trading markets, and theaters for people to enjoy performances or book readings.

==== ''Grand Arena of Malem'' ====
Near the edge of Khabat lives the arena. Here contests from around the Rings come to compete in contests of skill. While combats are not uncommon, the challenges often include some metal components. Whole labyrinths are constructed on the arena floor, the arena is flooded for diving contests, and once participants had to construct massive golems uses parts scattered around the arena floor which then fought each other. 

===== ''Festival Grounds'' =====
There is always a festival occurring at Khabat. The people of Khabat welcome these celebrations and the merriment they bring. For this purpose the Caliph dedicated festival grounds outside the city for these engagements. Spanning more than three-hundred acres, the grounds support advanced sewage systems, permanent outdoor stages, and massive kitchens designed to feed thousands.

==== ''The Twin Miracles'' ====
Two rivers that run on either side of Khabat with the city nestled between them. To the East is the Kalan and toward the West the Losha river. These rivers begin from underground streams four miles North of the city and run above ground for only seven miles before falling back below ground. They create an oasis amongst the desert. To this day scholars from the Siyars say that the rivers are miracles on the Dark Ring. However, to the people of the capital city, they are more than a miracle, they are what keeps Khabat thriving. 

==== ''Khabat Astral Lighthouse'' ====
The Astral Lighthouse of Khabat was the first built on the Dark Ring. Zell and Fiasal collaborated in its construction hundreds of years ago. Modeled after Clover’s lighthouse, Khabat’s sees almost as much use. Many trade routes from the Prime Ring to the Dark Ring run exclusively through Khabat and Zosul. 

==== ''Gilded Way'' ====
Also known as the Caliph’s Route, this road that starts in Khabat and runs through all of the Caliphate toward the holy city of Garib. It is one of the most traveled and guarded roads in all the Dark Ring. The Guild Way was built by the second Caliph of the Caliphate, Omran the Builder.
