Sauh (SAO)

Sauh is a region located on the easternmost end of the 3rd Tier Domains in the land of Ayepeessee. It is a country ruled by the True Owner. It is the home of the Knights of the Round, and the people called Sauh'peesee. (People of Sauh in their own language) In their written language, it is written as SAO, and their own name, SAOPC.

It was notably one of the places the PAPS JOOLS frequented, before he was sealed away in constant orbit around the many tiers of Ayepeessee.

Geography
Sauh is a small, but heavily fortified region boasting great advances in magic, technology and True Science. It is a great city state, with great plateau-shaped structures that serve as smaller communities and living spaces for those who live there. Among these 'living-tables' there are ancient towers and ruins that claw at Sauh's blue skies. Many of these structures have great history attached to them, serving as vaults and catalogs of the great events that rocked Ayepeessee in the past.

The Knights of the Round are often found in these places, even if they have no business in being there. The Knights also often change their headquarters from living-table to living-table as the years pass. Increased tourism and immigration has forced them to an almost nomadic lifestyle within their own homeland.

History
The military might, and comparably luxurious lifestyles of those who live in Sauh may be attributed to the existence of the True Owner. In ages past, disagreements between the True Owners and the Knights of the Round forced the accelerated development and militarization of the region. This caused the Sauh region to become an almost inhospitable and undesirable place to live, despite the technological and magical advances it achieved.

Prior to this current era, the Knights of the Round were challenged and held down by the tyranny of the True Owner, "Shiva the Destroyer". Countless battles were waged between the knights and the other peoples of Sauh loyal to the divinely appointed True Owner. The Knights finally ceded this war and were scattered to the far flung corners of the Ayepeessee.

This time became known as the Exodus. Many of the knights and their sympathizers settled down in the capital city of Caphetheria, but could never quite fit in.

The end of this era was marked by the removal of "Shiva the Destroyer" by the Administration Pantheon of Ayepeessee. The Knights finally made their return to their beloved land, and began to rebuild and preserve what they could save from the ashes.

But since the appointment of the newest True Owner, Sauh is in an era of peace, enjoying the fruits of its tumultuous legacy... for now.
