Kadarasto

The city of Kadarasto sits atop a bluff above the Nogaro River, about 100 miles up the flow from Dihliz. The city's appearance is dominated by an unusual lightless and angular architecture. Kadarasto's long history is still present in many ruins in the city and surrounding countryside, which is believed to have once been the old kingdom of Kadar. Enlightenment came late to this part of Zakhara, and its natives still have a reputation of secretivness, savagery and idolatry, giving Kadarasto the title "City Most Sinister". Most of the populace is believed to derive its income from rice and more notably the antiquities trade (i.e. tomb robbing).
