The city has a lip of rock diverting water from flowing into the city and a complex drainage system to help it weather highstorms.{{book ref\|sa1\|55}} The pattern of the city is central to the Emuli religion. Sesemalex Dar was founded at an unknown time. One of the most ancient cities in the world, some believed it to be a [[Dawncity]].{{book ref\|sa1\|54}}{{book ref\|sa1\|55}} The Emuli made the city their capital at some point, regarding its design as central to their religion. However, the Tukari also desired the city for its use as a port, and they were able to use the status of their ruler, [[Tezim]], as a justification for attempting to take it.{{book ref\|sa1\|54}} This resulted in the [[Eighty's War]], a conflict centered around the city which lasted several years.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|14}} At the advent of the [[True Desolation]], the Eighty's War was swallowed up by the conflict with [[Odium]]'s forces. The [[Fused]] and [[singers]] took the southern part of Emul, including Sesemalex Dar.{{book ref\|sa4\|19}} The city was freed from this occupation when the [[coalition of monarchs]] successfully regained control of Emul in {{Rosharan date\|1175}}.{{book ref\|sa4\|99}} == Culture == ▲~~It is one of the most ancient cities in the world.{{book ref\|sa1\|55}}~~ It is said that the city of Sesemalex Dar--and the entire kingdom of Emul--was named by [[Jezrien]] himself.

Due to the wealth of trade in Sesemalex Dar, the bordering nation of [[Tukar]] wants the city for its fantastic port; this is the conflict at the root of the [[Eighty's War]].{{book ref\|sa1\|54}} As such, the city has been a war zone for a long period of time.{{book ref\|sa2.5\|2}} == Notes == <references/> {{complete\|[[User:Truthwatch3r\|Truthwatch3r]] ([[User talk:Truthwatch3r\|talk]]) 01:52, 22 March 2022 (UTC)}} ~~{{complete\|reviewed=yes}}~~ {{Stormlight}}
