Qarthak is a coastal city on the island of Qal within the Jade Gates.
It is currently controlled by the city of of Qarth.
Location and Geography[]
The isle of Qal is found within the Jade Gates, and between the city of Qarthak on the northern coast, Qalred on the south and Qarth on the mainland, whomever claims dominion of them control the Jade Gates and thus the most direct route between the East and the West.
The city of Qarthak has been carved directly into the side of the pale cliffs found along the northwestern coasts. This makes the settlement very challenging to siege from the sea, although few have tried. The harbour, found on the eastern side of the city, is capable of holding over a hundred ships, although it is mostly occupied by galleys and warships at any given time.
