Seš'qa

Seš'qa means "The Stop" in the language of the Sarkaz. The Sarkaz built Seš'qa as their home on Talos-II, and it also serves as the organization representing their interests in this world.

Ever since the outbreak of the First Aggeloi War, the Sarkaz of Kazdel have fought in nearly every major conflict in Talos-II. The Snowpriest of Sami thus gifted the Sarkaz a fang from the fallen Feranmut, perhaps as a token of gratitude, or to uphold a new prophecy revealed by the Foldartals. With their witchcraft, the Sarkaz converted the Feranmut fang into a floating anchor, much like the "Lifebone" of the past. Around this anchor, they built a floating city named Seš'qa — far smaller than the free cities of TGCC and the steel citadels of UWST. "The Stop" proved a fitting name for this Sarkazian community.

After the war ended, many of the Sarkaz walked away from their traditional isolationism and chose to become part of the Civilization Band. Seš'qa did not oppose the trend. Instead, they became brand managers, opinion leaders, and mediators and eagerly offered their services for the Civilization Band. Though the floating city has retained its functions as a massive military airship, it is also a window. The city contains a theme park, a theater, and a bazaar open to the entire Civilization Band. It is also the headquarters of the famous brand — Witching Hour. Skilled witch-crafters and mercenaries remain the most famous trades of Seš'qa, but these no longer define the stereotypes of the Sarkazian people.

War is no longer the constant companion of the Sarkaz. They have finally tilled the soil for a new life.
