“Shumir is an ancient city-state in the east where Bel, the god of thieves, was born. Shumir lies on a juncture of caravan trails from Eruk to the west and Nippr to the south. Khoraja is just to the north-east. Shumir provides splendid asshuri, well trained in the arts of war, especially at fighting desert nomads such as the Zuagir.

Shumir is home to over thirteen thousand people and is noted also as a city of thieves, as befits the birthplace of Bel. It is situated on a large expanse of plains. Shumir imports grain, weapons, armor and beer, and exports camels. It is built around a series of desert oases upon great mounds.

The plateau mounds are caused by the constant building and rebuilding the city over the millennia.”
