Karatin

Karatin was a seaport city at the mouth of the Hungtse River. It was built on a swamp, but partly settled on a cleared-out jungle. 
==History==
It was founded during the Hai Dynasty in 830. It was one of the first cities to have a unified architectural theme. It had northern facing buildings and wide paved stone streets with the Great Palace of the Sea Lords in the center of the city.
==Notable locations==
Karatin also had the Temple of the Jade Empress, a beautiful temple erected by the Sea Lords around a statue of the Empress Ti Hai Chin, wife of the Hai Dynasty's founder.
The harbor was deep and well dredged. Ships constantly came here for silk, rice and to learn advanced sciences. It was a busy port, where people could acquire almost any type of goods, and meet folk from all over Kara-Tur. This was also the port to which most foreigners came when they visited Kara-Tur.
