The inner city is protected from the outside by massive sandstone walls. There are 12 guard towers around the town connected to the walls to warn the city of any threat. Inside the walls are mud huts built out of mud, ocean silt and hardy Kahoganni wood. Inside the city, trade is also bustling as street merchants in their make-shift kiosk made of wood with multi-colored clothe roofing line the city. They sale their wares to other merchants who would sale their wares across the seas. The streets would be filled with the noise of bustling activities all day and night excepts for the hours of 7 in the morning, 12 at noon, 5 in the afternoon, 7 at night and 10 at night. This are the hours of prayer for the Yaslam faith and people from across the city flock to the local temples, known as Molesque, to pray. After the prayers are done, the people return back to their lives. At the very center of this city is the Grand Sultan's Palace, which is made of marble and shines brightly under the sun. The Sultan, the undisputed leader of Ibramis and guardian of the faith of Yaslam, resides here. His royal servants and his family also resides here. From his marvelous marble throne, encrusted and decorated with fine gems and golden embroidery, the sultan rules his people as he sees fit. His power comes from Allem(God) and to challenge him is to challenge Allem himself.
