Rhukaan Dral Settlement in Eberron | World Anvil

Rhukaan Dral

Metropolis, Population: 82,460  

According to the Book:

  The seat of the Lhesh Haruuc and his Razor Crown clan, Rhukaan Draal is the largest city in Darguun—a sprawling, ramshackle settlement built on the ruins of a Cyran market town. Wyvernhide tents stand alongside the rough stonework of the Ghaal’dar. The most impressive structure is Haruuc’s palace, designed and built by House Cannith artisans.   The most impressive structure is the royal palace; dissatisfied with the work of his kindred, the Lhesh Haruuc hired the stonemasons of House Cannith to build his home and fortress, called Khaar Mbar’ost, or Red House (literally, “blood-colored fortified dwelling”). This ten-story tower of red granite dominates the skyline of Rhukaan Draal.   Rhukaan Draal is a hotbed of commerce and intrigue. Representatives of every hobgoblin clan can be found here, along with war criminals, thieves, deserters, dragon marked excoriates, and merchants dealing in goods prohibited in the Five Nations. It is one of the few places in the nation to find imported goods, and it has the widest selection of shrines in Darguun. The Lhesh Haruuc has taken an interest in the Sovereign Host, but his faith has yet to spread across the nation he rules.   The Ghaal’dar goblinoids are known for their skill in battle, not for their artistry with crafts. As a result, the market of Rhukaan Draal is mainly a place to trade for imported goods.   The laws of the city are simple, and the hobgoblins take little interest in the history of their guests. As a result, many criminals flee to Rhukaan Draal to avoid justice, and smugglers can freely sell goods in the marketplace that would put them on the wrong side of the law in Breland or Thrane.
