Obsidian Fields
The Obsidian Fields near the city are cultivated with fireweed, fodder for the nightmare cavalry of the Sultan, and the foodstuffs that sustain the efreet: qamh, a type of soft, spongy grass, habbat, a dark wild grain, verdobba, nutty, dark purple tuber, and umbellin, a spicy brown bean. Serfs and even common efreet labor here by day; tilling the fields, tearing out weeds, and harvesting crops. By night the scarecrows of the efreet remain: the bodies of criminals and deserters are hung from gibbets in the fields, where they are left as a warning not just to the elemental birds and vermin but to other wrongdoers.
