[edit] General Information
Cabilis, also known as New Sebilis, is home of the Iksar. Cabilis is broken down into East and West Cabilis. Most of the class guild halls are located in East Cabilis; the Shadow Knights, Monks, Shamans, and Warriors. The Necromancer guild hall is located in West Cabilis. East Cabilis connects to the Field of Bone and Swamp of No Hope, West Cabilis connects to the Warslik's Woods and Lake of Ill Omen. No races other than the Iksar start out with a good faction in Cabilis; and likewise, the Iksar are hated everywhere but their hometown.
Emperor Vekin is the current ruler of Cabilis.

[edit] History
Cabilis was once simply a town of little regard in the Iksar Empire. The reason it is now the center of Iksar civilization is directly related to the fall of their empire. When Emperor Ganak and Jaled-Dar clashed above the Field of Bone, it left both dead. This ended the war between the Iksar and the Ring of Scale. Unfortunately, the Dragons had one last act of violence to unleash. They destroyed the imperial palace and all of Ganak's hatchlings, leaving the Iksar without an heir to the throne.
In the absence of an emperor, the Emerald Circle was formed. Five nobles set together to rebuild what had been lost in the war. However, their ambitions divided the empire, each noble leading a separate faction. The Iksar Empire was divided by tribe for the first time since Emperor Venril Sathir united them. Soon after, the tribes began to fight amongst themselves again. The Ring of Scale had a hand in this, working covertly to increase tensions between the Iksar tribes.
Finally, weakened by infighting, the Iksar Empire fell asunder. Slave revolts, attacks by goblins and giants, and finally an asssault by Trakanon himself and his allies reduced the Iksar cities to ash and rubble. Free of Iksar rule, the other races of Kunark began to struggle for dominance.
Since the fall of the empire, the Iksar have been building the city of Cabilis from the town it once was into the capital it is today. Other cities have either been overrun by powerful enemies, or are too far gone to rebuild. The Iksar have worked hard, under their new emperor, and are quickly working to repair what past mistakes have torn apart.
In fact, many Iksar have taken to calling Cabilis "New Sebilis", though either name is acceptable and understood.
