Jabiyah is the capital city of Gassasinia, and the largest city in the country. Jabiyah's history dates back about two thousand years, and was historically a major Phoenician city state. The city would first come to be known as Jabiyah when it became the capital city of the Ghassanids. Under Islamic rule, the capital city of the Ash-Shaam region would exchange repeatedly between Lawdada and Jabiyah. Following the end of Islamic rule, and the unification of the country in the late 1800's, Jabiyah would once more become capital of Gassasinia.
Today, Jabiyah is a major cosmopolitan city of Midwestern Thrismari, and is home to a variety of cultural and economic landmarks.
