Ajai

Ajai (Thu Parsh: Adjaui) is the second-largest city and capital of the Duchy of Nulu. It has approximately 19,000 inhabitants, around one-third of whom are native Nuluans and speakers of Thu Parsh, but the majority of the city consists of Ombans, including the Duke and his lineage and the court apparatus. Ajai is located in southwestern Nulu along the seacoast, and is culturally closer to Basai than it is to much of the northern part of the Duchy. It was conquered fully forty years before the remainder of Nulu and has a much stronger Omban culture than elsewhere in the Duchy. It has spectacular iftibals built by some of the most esteemed Omban noble lineages, either as permanent residences or as summer homes to escape the oppressive heat.
