Pashow is the smallest of Thuvia's five allied city-states. It lies in the barren south of the country, in a location conveniently close to the Citadel of the Alchemist but lacking in natural resources. It was ruled by Emir Guldis until very recently.

The city's inhabitants are known for their magical talents, and revere Nethys as their patron deity. They use magic to help compensate for the harshness of the local environment.2

As one of Thuvia's five city-states, once every five years it is the city's turn to sell six vials of the prized sun orchid elixir to foreign bidders. The city has taken to using teleportation magic to transport the elixir.3

In the past this has been avoided because the method is not completely reliable. In fact, the last two shipments have been lost due to apparent teleportation "accidents". This has damaged the young Emir's standing, and lead to him being replaced as ruler by Ziralia, daughter of the ambitious Prince Zinlo of Aspenthar.4

Ziralia has, however, not shown any signs of placing the city under her family's rule, instead dissolving the monarchy, pardoning Guldis and instating a democratic rule in the city.5

Heraldry

Pashow's heraldic colours are pale yellow, black, and maroon.6
