== History ==
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}}
It is one of the most ancient cities in the world.{{book ref|sa1|55}} It is said that the city--and the entire kingdom of Emul--was named by [[Jezrien]] himself. In fact, [[Au-nak]] believes Sesemalex Dar is a [[Dawncity]].{{book ref|sa1|54}} The Emuli believe that Sesemalex Dar is their ancestral homeland.▼
