The Veils of Zargah
World Name: “Parsabad” is just what the inhabitants call their secluded safe zone. Its true name is Zargah, a combination of “Zar” (golden, radiant) and “Gah” (place, time), reflecting both the grandeur of its past and the limitations of its present.
Geography: Zargah is surrounded by the Silent Woods, also known as the Woods of Arrogance. These forests are far from natural—dense, dark, and teeming with strange and dangerous creatures. The air is thick, humid, and laced with toxic mists.
Techno-Magic : In this world, electricity exists, but not as we know it. Known as Jargan or the Force of Lightning, it is harnessed through special crystals charged with magical particles (mana). Jargan powers lights, some weapons, and defensive structures. The architecture blends traditional Persian designs with subtle Art Nouveau and steampunk elements.
Families: The ruling family of Zargah is the Kavian clan, descended from MirKaveh (Amir Kaveh), the traditional guardians of the region’s borders. Several other noble families also hold influence.

Power System: Individual strength is measured by Tanesh, the innate ability to absorb, control, and manipulate the world’s magical energy (mana). Each family typically specializes in a specific affinity—fire, water, earth, deception, healing, and so on. Our protagonist, however, begins with a weak Tanesh.
