The smallest major city in Ethax, Bidziil serves as a connection between the far east and the continent of Bruidan. As a result, people and creatures of all varieties can be found here. The Four Cults of Ethax are not as involved here as other places, and so seven Merchant Princes have risen as de facto rulers of Bidziil. They trace their lineage back to Firebearar Taregan, whose likeness rises from the Bay of Bidziil as a huge stone statue.
The amount of business that unfolds here and the cash that moves through its counting houses would make any merchant of Hezhane or Spey Swistan jealous. It’s also a colorful, musical, aroma-filled, vibrant city in its own right. Other than trade, the biggest attractions are the weekly dinosaur races through the streets. Locals and visitors alike wager princely sums on the races’ outcomes. The city also boasts grand bazaars, glorious mansions and temples, circuses, and gladiatorial contests.
Enemies surround Bidziil on all sides. The swamps teem with ferocious reptiles and murderous undead, pirates prowl the surrounding sea, and the mouth of the bay is home to a greedy dragon turtle. Few folk here think kindly of the powerful cults that rule Ethax, and their agents here are on the lookout for any potential uprising.
