The capital of Sippar and home to the Library of Knowledge.

Oasis

It is said that the oasis is the result of the library and not vice versa: the natural caves in the area created a sinkhole, and those carving out dwellings in prehistory brought the water to the surface. It springs from deep below the Disc. Scholars have been studying the depths for a long time, and a grate has been added to the lowest part of the sinkhole to prevent items sinking below. It is routinely cleaned out by scholars.

Several unique species of fish live in different strata of the Sinking Oasis, along with snails, (etc). There is a rock burrowing eel that lives below the grate. Currently scholars are puzzling together an effective way to study life deeper than the grate; currently they do not have a way to deal with water pressure and have difficulty maintaining air below. One scholar may be attempting to make portable gills using fine fabrics to create membranes. It is not working.

-== Annexation of Hingol ==
-In about year 1200, Sippar annexed the region formerly known as Weka through a "caretaker clause" in their trade agreements. Weka, to benefit from the medicinal care available in Sippar, agreed to be annexed and officially recognized as part of Sippar though they maintain their own cultural identity. The reason the annexation went through was because of an outbreak of a unique water-borne disease that spread rapidly through the many islands. Sippar at the time had recently developed vaccinations for their own common diseases and were intent on being able to move freely through Weka to study this outbreak.
-Unbeknownst to Weka, Sippar experimented on several smaller islands to test the success of their vaccines. While ultimately curing the disease and finding the root cause— whales with a particular bacterium from close to the Rim dying in the shallow archipelago that carried water through the small nation— more lives were lost to Sippari experimentation than anticipated. Sippar has documented these experiments and locked them behind specialist knowledge cases, but it was discovered in 1560 and Sippar ended up paying reparations to the former nation.
