Narath

Narath is a city in the southern portion of The First Desert. It is known for its high sandstone walls.

History
Narath was founded during the second pilgrimage of Torrib by the mad hermit Azoulian. Azoulian was quickly overthrown by the citizens of Narath because of his unusual mandates, such as forcing the city to bathe only in chicken blood, and spontaneously declaring random children to be gods. The citizens then organized themselves into a democracy as The Council of Narath, and set about organizing a military.

During the Second Storm nearly one third of Nareth was melted. From that point on the citizens ceased building buildings out of tin, and decided instead to build them out of stone from the nearby quarries.

When the Third Storm struck, Narath was more or less entirely protected from the bolts of lightning, causing it to become overrun by refugees. This put a great strain on the resources of the city, and eventually caused an overthrow of the council and the instating of King Gulioggen.

During the reign of Gulioggen II, Narath was very nearly overrun by a vast army of nomadic tribes in the Siege of Narath. This fate was avoided when Guliogen's tribal-born counsellor (known only as The Orangish one) challenged the nomads to a louse fighting match instead.
