Karaman Bay

A bay on the Chorenese Coast formed at the mouth of the Ghorkon River. It is named after the first sultan of Chorene, Karaman Yazi and is even today an important Mercantile position with the two trade centres Boyazi and Ezurum of either side of the bay and the capital city of Mersin upriver. Together, the two cities control trade along the coastal trade routes and up the Ghorkon River, enabling them to impose tolls and introduce stable rights in the cities.
