Editing Dark Ring (section)

=== Zosul ===
On the southern border of the Caliphate, at the edge of the Sigornia of the Nyx, lies Zosul. The Bank of Salt has made its home here along with many merchants. This prosperity has not gone unnoticed as many on the Dark Ring seek to gain control of Zosul’s riches for themselves. However, with the Salt Bank in control, the Caliphate has a formidable ally protecting its border.

==== ''Seat of the Salt Bank'' ====
The Bank of Salt has made Zosul its headquarters. Much of the city is dedicated, in some way, towards its enterprises. For those seeking an audience with the bank or trying to disrupt the institution’s plans, Zosul is the first place to go. 

===== ''Street of Silver'' =====
Zosul’s main thoroughfare is nicknamed the Street of Silver. Wealthy merchant companies and rare vendors make their homes here. Proximity to the bank and its vast resources is highly prized. A person could walk for hours along the street without ever seeing the same vendor twice. 

==== ''Singer’s Bridge'' ====
The bridge connects Zosul to the Nyx city of Halkyn. Legend says that it was sung into existence by powerful clerics. Stones from the bottom of the sea, bound together by magic, formulated the structure that connects the Caliphate to the Sea of Scream’s Eastern shore. Guards from both nations patrol the bridge. 

==== ''Port of Zosul and the Grand Fleet'' ====
Zosul’s port represents the Caliphate’s only access to the sea. For this reason the Caliphate has poured gold into the port. Robust stone docks jut into the waters and are large enough to harbor more than two-hundred vessels at a time. Sailors from Breoa have often complimented the docks on their design.

The docks also serve to host the Eshai navy and the Salt Bank’s merchant fleet. These two forces patrol the waters of the Sea of Screams hunting enemies of the Caliphate or trading with other port cities. If the port of Zosul were to fall, the Caliphate would suffer a catastrophic blow to its trading ecosystem.

==== ''Zosul’s Astral Lighthouse'' ====
The Caliphate’s second Astral Lighthouse was built in Zosul. It was financed entirely by the Bank of Salt to further their trading enterprises. Even with the bank’s immense resources, the Astral Lighthouse in Zosul is half the size of that in Khabat. This is of no concern to the bank who now has faster means of shipping their products and envoys off Ring.

==== ''Nyx Raids'' ====
An old foe of the Caliphate, the Nyx constantly send raiding parties over the water into Zosul. These clashes are small, with casualties sparse, but the two side’s efforts hamper the other all the same. So far the Nyx’s goal appears to be destroying the expansion of Zosul. However they have been stifled by the overwhelming power and tenacity possessed by the Salt Bank. The bank views this as an opportunity to prove their superiority and further train the Gold Swords under their control.
