Sarraka

Sarraka is a fictional city appearing in the fantasy novel "The Serpent's Coil" by A.J. Dalton. Located in the region of Eldoria, Sarraka is depicted as a bustling port city, a vital hub for trade and commerce. Its strategic position along the Azure Sea facilitates its importance as a gateway to various distant lands, with ships docking frequently from across the known world.

The city's architecture is characterized by its proximity to the coast, with many buildings constructed from stone and weathered timber, designed to withstand the sea air and occasional storms. Narrow, winding streets are a common feature, leading to bustling marketplaces where exotic goods are traded. Sarraka is known for its diverse population, a melting pot of various races and cultures drawn by the opportunities for trade and employment.

Politically, Sarraka is governed by a council of merchant lords who hold significant influence due to the city's economic prosperity. The city's guard is responsible for maintaining order, though the dense population and constant flow of people can present challenges. Despite its commercial focus, Sarraka also boasts a rich history, with ancient ruins and legends woven into its fabric, hinting at a past that predates its current status as a major trading center. The novel often uses Sarraka as a backdrop for political intrigue and adventurous quests due to its lively atmosphere and strategic importance.
