Ushad

Ushad is an agricultural town known for providing much of the country's grains, meats, and beers. Ushad sits on the Sages' River that connects Tezef and Siraj, and makes use of both the road and the river to send food and workers throughout Iquai.

Inhabitants
Most of the outskirts of Ushad are inhabited by farmers and their families, but within the city there are all sorts of people. Most of the population are peasants and workers, but there are a few highborn gentry and even noblemen remaining after the Elyde's coup.

The Westmonte Shipping Company
A family who used to have a title but gave it all up when the Elyde took over. They're still wealthy and powerful and though their family seat is in Glenhaven, they operate their powerful Shipping Company out of Ushad alongside the Sages' River.

The Lyriad
A notorious cult which strives to overthrow the Elyde and the Rorgh. They often perform assassinations on police officers they feel are corrupt. The Ushad chapter was led by Samson before his death. It is now primarily run by Linea and Minerva. Most people believe the rumours of The Lyriad's existence are unfounded due to the Rorgh's frequent sweeps of the city, which turn up nothing.

Rathi
An artesan recommended to Votig by Heather.

The Grainhouse
Ushad contains a bar and brewing factory known as the Grainhouse. The Grainhouse is known throughout the Central Plains as a centre for craft beers.

Memorials
Statues in the central town square commemorate important figures of the city's past. However, many of these were destroyed with the rise of the Elyde Senate in 7404 AC. Notably, statues featuring Lord Mannon, the last regional nobleman, and King Rodric, last of the royal line, were demolished before the end of that same year.

Lyriad Glyphs
The Lyriad has several magic glyphs located throughout the city which allow them to teleport safely from one place to the next. Use of these glyphs requires a Lyriad Necklace.
