Founded by [[Darshia-Cnty.]]-speaking merchants, it made its wealth buying horses, sheep and cattle from the surrounding herding villages and sending them west to the markets of the [[Calradian-Empire]] in huge drives, accompanied by guards to ward off raiders from the steppes. Neither its walls nor its mercenary armies could withstand the coming of Khan [[Urkhun LORE]], however, who it granted to the [[Khergit-clan]] clan in recognition of their valor. This settlement is part of the [[Khuzait-Khanate]] Khanate. --- # Game Files / Developer Diaries clan 2, Khergits. lords 3, 4f, 8, 14 -->
