Foo Nakar Foo Nakar was a city in the kingdom of Koryo in Kara - Tur . Geography . Foo Nakar lay at the mouth of the Malu River , within the great Quang Muku Forest . Government . Foo Nakar was officially ruled by governor , though after the death of Masgar Lam , King Wanang Sun of Koryo relocated the office to the capital city of Xi Hulang on a permanent basis , naming a close friend to the role . In the governor ' s absence , the new position of First Emissary was responsible for the entire district . In 1357 DR , this was Pouri Lam . Though not always popular , Pouri ' s rulings and decisions were made to benefit the people of her domain . For one , she raised taxes , but founded schools for all children to attend . Trade . First Emissary Lam encouraged a flourishing manufacturing industry in Foo Nakar , with many goods going to the export market . These included a large selection of hand - carved woodworks , a variety of strange herbs gathered in the Quang Muku Forest , and ceramic items . These last were in the distinctive Foo Nakar style : kilned with green - sap fir s and spice - wood , they bore a unique smoky glaze and carried a fragrant smell that never washed off . A more illicit product of Foo Nakar was the potent green sleeping dust harvested from the bija tree of the Quang Muku . History . The former general Masgar Lam was granted the governorship of Foo Nakar . However , Masgar grew sickly and for a number of years depended on his daughter Pouri for assistance . Working at her father ' s side , she learned his administrative skills . When Masgar finally passed away , Pouri felt the time was not right to announce his death , and kept it a secret . For some seven months , she maintained the deception and good governance of Foo Nakar . When King Wanang Sun visited his old friend ' s burial mound and discovered it already grown over , Pouri had to admit the truth to both city and king . Wanang was impressed by her skill in governing and wished to elevate her properly to the governorship of Foo Nakar , finding her already well trained and more capable than any . However , this post was hotly contested in the Koryoan court and the king had to grant it as a reward to one of his followers . Thus , when he returned to Xi Hulang , he named a close friend as governor of Foo Nakar , but permanently shifted the post to the capital . He then created the position of " First Emissary " of Foo Nakar and placed Pouri in the role . This ensured she would remain in control of Foo Nakar , as she was in 1357 DR . Once , when pirates raided from the Malu River , Pouri Lam led her forces in the defence . She routed the pirates and earned a reputation as a courageous warrior . Notable Locations .
