Shack'ka (Sh-a-c-ca)

Shack'ka was the largest city in the serpent world for years. It was founded back in 981 YBC near the La'shakara river. The city was the main hub for trade throughout the serpents history and was the capital city of most Khanates. The city was origionally made with small wooden huts to make more space but in 351 YBC, Sultanate Vin'deka started redeveloping the city to make it more modern.

Demographics

The city was populated by serpents for years only seeing other races pass by or tour the area. Their class sytem is the same as everywhere else in the world. Most people world in farm or agriculture like jobs because of the desert being so close to them.

Defences

Infrastructure

The farms use watermills to ground grain. They dispense their waste in the river downstream so it won't affect their crops. The roads are made out of sandstone and were made large and smooth.

History

It was created because of a massive sandstorm that destroyed almost all the other villages in the area. The city grew as a small wooden villages for around 600 years before Vin'daka and teh Sakara Sultanate took over and moderized the city in 351YBC. It was also around this time when the serpents started giving the elves Wu'ka for materials they needed. The city was made into a symbol of serpent history, culture, and wealth in 25 YBC, when Turr'oka took over the thrown of Sakara. It experience a golden era around 137-146 YSC and continued to flourish until the great freezing. Thankfully for the serpents, the great freezing didn't effect them as much as other nations thanks to the hot desert it only turned into a colder desert. That didn't mean they weren't effected by it because since the elves couldn't trade they lost most of their supplies and suffered a dark age for most of the time. In the great war, it was a hotspot for serpents, orcish, and elven battles to occour and suffered through the time but, gained a large empire after. Now, the city is the capital of the Shi'ka Khanate and is starting a rebirth period.
