Qysagghani Fortress

The Qysaghanni Fortress (Pasha's Sabban, Palace Ward, Calimport) is surrounded by a defensive wall that connects to the walls about the Pasha'’s Sabban. These walls stand taller than the nearby walls of either Armada Ward or the Sabbans Darehj or Najlet. It garrisons all 500 of the personal guards of the syl-pasha, provides both an armory and library for the “Imperial Guard” of both wizards and warriors, and has an assembly yard large enough for drills and mock spell combats. There are secret tunnels within the walls of this fortress that allow swift access to hidden tunnels to any building in the Pasha'’s Sabban without being seen.

The fortress'’ most notable feature is the Lambent Minaret - its central free-standing minaret. This seems to be made wholly of transparent blue crystal, and the fortress walls and towers opposite the viewer on the other side of the tower are visible. However, no one and nothing on the inside is visible from the outside, even through the open archways behind the balconies, thus making it a great place for clandestine meetings with the syl-pasha. From the Lambent Minaret'’s parapet and balconies, the Qysaghanni launch many flying carpets (of which the group has five) and patrol the areas around the Pasha'’s Sabban.
