Zalazuu



Zalazuu, located on the Bay of Azuth, is a large town of nearly 5,000 people that serves as the main trading center for the south-eastern portion of the Zalath Hold.

Lailuu Gyrrite (LG female human cleric 19 of Mystra) rules Zalazuu, but she is more concerned with defending the Zalath Hold than ruling the city.

Zalazuu Militia
Like Khaerbaal, Zalazuu functions as an urban getaway for their naval base. Almost 2,000 military troops and nearly twenty warships (both seagoing vessels and skyships) are stationed at Fort Zalazuu, a large walled fortress located just outside the town.

Zalazuu Beaurocracy
The Earl leaves the day-to-day administration of the town to a bureaucracy of petty clerks and officialsthathasbecome more massive and unwieldy with each passing year. Most of these civil servants have little or no skill with magic, but they have managed to elevate their own importance (and thus, preserve their job security in a nation predisposed to favor wizards) by creating a tangle of forms, procedures, and regulations that no one else understands.

Trade
As a result of the Beaurocracy, trade in this port of call is less lucrative than it could be, simply because most merchants know it’s easier to conduct business in other Zalath Hold cities. Despite the extra travel time, most of them believe it’s better to sail up the channel than to stop in Zalazuu.
