Ubar City

Background

---

Ubar City, also known as Ubarsands, was once a great kingdom. It was ruled over by a man known of as 'Snake Boy,' who was the king of the city. While the city was located on Das, not all of its residents were Pythas worshipers, though most of them were. The king did have to maintain the facade of worshiping Pythas or else his life and kingdom would have met an untimely end.

Tent Kingdom

In Ubar City, everyone lived in tents and all of its business was conducted out of tents, thus it was also called the 'City of Tents' and the 'Tent Kingdom.' Due to its proximity to the sea, it was also a great center for trade.

Ubar City in its prime.

For much time, the city thrived and became rather large. Despite its size, no permanent structures were ever built. It's people were content to live out of their tents.

Paying Tribute

Ubar City also happened to be situated right outside of the Black City. Pythas allowed the city to be located there as he could corrupt its people and use them as servants. The kingdom had to pay tribute regularly to the dark lord or else they would suffer serious consequences. Some of the punishments for failing to pay tribute included: tents being ripped/torn, children being kidnapped, scourging, and more.

Downfall

---

Ubar City would become abandoned sometime after the death of Gothmog the Goblin. It is thought that after Gothmog died, Snake Boy's disloyalty was finally discovered by The Witch King, who thus had Snake Boy arrested and tortured before having him face trial before Pythas. Pythas decided to make an example of him and thus had Snake Boy publicly executed.

With Snake Boy dead, the city turned into a state of anarchy. Many of the tents were burned and now, only a few still stand.
