Peshalim is the holy city of the Metari faith and the origin of the Metari civilization. Located in northeastern South Cadia, the city is centered on the Temple of the Spirit, the holiest site in the Metari faith, said to be the place where Metar first appeared to pre-Metari Pesha nomads. Established first as a small village surrounding the Temple, Peshalim grew quickly over the centuries as more nomads in the surrounding lands began to adhere to Metariism. Peshalism is the primary city of the Theocracy's Peshal Region, and the largest city in South Cadia, with over 35,000 residents calling it home.
