ZHOHfeeah

ZHOHfeeah is a fictional city-state and cultural hub created for a collaborative science-fantasy universe used in novels, role-playing games, and fan wikis. The name is constructed to evoke a distant maritime civilization, and is usually rendered in English texts as ZHOHfeeah. The article summarizes how the setting is depicted across primary sources and community references.

In the canonical material, ZHOHfeeah sits on a coastal plateau above a river delta, with a sheltered harbor and network of canals. The climate is arid to semi-arid inland, with seasonal rains along the coast. The urban core is surrounded by terraced districts, gardens, and ramparts.

ZHOHfeeah arose as a mercantile city-state in the early centuries of the setting. Political power is depicted as shared between a Merchant Council and a figurehead sultan or caliph, depending on the source, with the council controlling trade policy and civil administration.

ZHOHfeeah appears across novels, game supplements, and fan wikis; scholars note varying depictions of history and institutions across sources, which has led to debates on timeline consistency. The setting has a small but active fan community dedicated to compiling lore.
