Su-mehr Qiamp

A Haunted City

The city of Su-mehr Qiamp is the only known region of the world in which ghosts are real. They manifest as memories of the dead or as the displeasure of the living. Legends claim this spiritual phenomena is a curse for not paying proper respects to the region's patron god, a deity of time, causing humans of the region to be trapped between present and past.   When the city was under the control of the Okueran Regency, this disruption had led to the city atrophying. By the time the Usharay Divinity claimed the region in the Battle of Rights, the once-thriving city had dwindled to a few hundred of the most stubborn. They were experts on the land, on the flooding of the Mehr River, and on how to handle ghosts.   In exchange for their expertise, Usharay allowed them to keep their land. Their descendants remain in the city to this day, and the city's Seers still use knowledge they provided on how to handle ghosts both living and dead.     Though most can't see ghosts, their presence is part of life in Su-mehr Qiamp. To lifelong residents, it's hardly more notable than the weather. Despite residential opinions, the curious, the religious, and the scientific alike find themselves drawn the mystery of the city. Artists seek inspiration, doctors aspire to cures, mourners long for answers, and the devout hope to become Seers themselves.
