Get the flipping the minnow mug.by andy May 4, 2004
Get the s-schmid mug.Kingdom in northern Magnamund, southeast of the Stornlands, bordering on Slovia and Dessi. Unusually for this particular fantasy world, Anari is a republic, with an at least nominally democratic political structure. It is run by an elected council, although this seems to be dominated by the merchant families. The capital is Tahou.
Beneath the city there are buried the ruins of an earlier version of the city of Zaaryx, populated by flesh-eating Ghouls and the mysterious reptilian Crocaryx.
It appears mainly in Lone Wolf 9: The Cauldron of Terror, in which Lone Wolf has to find a way to get into the cauldron which leads down into the ruins, where one of the Lorestones is hidden. He has to do this with or without the support of the Council. At the time, Anari is at war, with three separate armies - two from the Darklands and another from Vassagonia - converging on Tahou. The gamebook culminates in a siege and battle in the city, in which Lone Wolf must defeat Zakhan Kimah to secure a temporary victory for Anari before allied forces arrive.
Anari is again attacked by the Darklords during the period of Lone Wolf's absence, while he is in the Dazhiarn Plane.

The population of Anari are evacuated ahead of the invasion, although most of the men have apparently been conscripted (suggesting allusions to Jacobin political methods). However, the basic model for Anari seems to be the medieval city-states.
It is therefore appropriate that Tahou is the only major city in the republic.

Get the Anari mug.City in Magnamund, the capital of Anari. Located at the centre of the country, across a broad plane, Tahou is the seat of the government and also of the Cauldron of Tahou, a mysterious passageway, normally sealed (but accessible by secret passages), leading down into the ruins of Zaaryx, an ancient, buried city from the time of Agarash.
Tahou is populated by humans, but Zaaryx is home to ghouls, and also the mysterious but ultimately good-aligned Crocaryx, as well as other monsters.
Tahou is besieged in Lone Wolf 9: The Cauldron of Terror, meaning that Lone Wolf has to battle or sneak into the city and later to defend it from attack by the united forces of the Darklords, the Drakkarim and the Vassagonian Zakhan.

The battles in Tahou include attempts to drop Giaks into the city by over-flying Kraan. However, this was anticipated after the fall of Suentina, and giant crossbows and wizards had been placed in high places in the city.

Get the Tahou mug.City in the world of Lone Wolf. It is ancient, and is buried underground, beneath the modern city of Tahou. It can only be accessed through the Tahou Cauldron.
The abandoned city-scape of Zaaryx is home to the Zaaryx Ghouls, fearsome creatures which prey on humans, and also the mysterious but good Crocaryx, and strange monsters such as the Zadragon. It is the site of one of the Lorestones.
It attracts treasure-hunters, but few come back alive.

Was the city always home to the Crocaryx, or did it originally have a human population who later became the ghouls? Who knows?

Get the Zaaryx mug.A mysterious reptilian people who dwell in the long-lost, abandoned underground city of Zaaryx. Initially appearing to be enemies because they stalk Lone Wolf, they turn out to be allies if he is able to approach them successfully and speak their language. They are good-aligned and have been awaiting a time when they can hand over the Lorestone which was left in their protection.
They appear to exist only for the task of guarding the Lorestone and feel its handover to be the beginning of their decline and extinction.
Despite being ancient, they have many powerful and unusual technologies. They hate and fight the Zaaryx Ghouls.
