Sarkant is the great temple-fortress of Khalul, the Prophet of the Gurkish, high in the barren mountains. The Hundred Words, Khalul’s army of Eaters, are garrisoned there. Slaves are constantly marched to Sarkant, dragged from every land the Gurkish conquer, to feed the disciples of the Prophet. It may be the location of the Great Southern Library built by Juvens.
