Kar-Ischil

Kar-Ischil is one of the Great Cities of Karthack, ruled over by the Sorcerer-Prince Zoph'Escher. Kar-Ischil is a mournful place bombarded by constant rain, and by periodic meteors which flash down from the sky to wreak havoc on the populace. Nothing grows in the city, and its people are terrified but obedient to their Prince.
The city is host to a variety of enormous sorcerous engines which perform many terrible functions – probably responsible for the rain, the meteor strikes and the lack of fertility. It is also frequently the subject of attacks by barbarians from the North and West. The city is said to be very productive in spite of the terrible conditions, likely because of the many powerful sorcerous devices.
Kar-Ischil is also the origin of a popular breed of cat, the Ischil Longhair
