Al-Pasir

Al-Pasir is a city belonging to Spritz. It is the capital city of the Special Autonomous Region of Sanara.

History
Al-Pasir was founded by settlers who lived in the Sanaran desert centuries ago, even beyond the Runic Age. They had been nomads, but settled in the Bay of Sands area due to its haven-like environment in the middle of an otherwise arid desert. The Bay provides plenty of fish and other resources, which is a good source of income for the residents of Al-Pasir. Recently, oil wells had been discovered in the region, which Al-Pasir taps from and sells the oil to Glacia to power some of their vehicles. Because of this, Al-Pasir is one of the richest cities in the world.

In its past, Al-Pasir was ruled by a monarchy, but their government changed as they became more and more exposed to the outside world and the influences of the Church of Inira. They now have a Governor as leader, though changes are being held so that they will become a fully-fledged nation in the near future, with a Prime Minister and the Queen/King of Spritz as their Head of State. Despite belonging to Spritz, due to their autonomous nature, the Sanaran region and the cities of Al-Sandonia and Al-Pasir do not have an official religion.

Interior
Due to the difficulty of taking building materials from elsewhere across the desert to Al-Pasir, many buildings look very similar. A walled area of the city houses its most important buildings and the wealthier housing and facilities. The Colosseum to the north is being constructed and is almost finished. Well maintained paved roads criss-cross around the city, though sidewalks are still sandy. The Bay of Sands area contains many shops and restaurants that take advantage of the beautiful scenery.

In-Game
In Chapter 4, players head to Al-Pasir to see Governor Shamid during the search for Princess Kyrie. Lady Hymn also gathers the last of her data for her research here.
