Golotha
in Cities & SettlementsGolotha… the murky backwater of Hârn. A city pretending to be a castle, and forgetting it reeks of men.
Part of Columbia Games Hârn canon - marginally reimagined for this world setting
Named Merethos for three centuries - having been Golotha solely for 132 years. Holds a charter as Freetown from the Kingdom of Rethem since the first day of the Kingdom.
Founded on the templeisland of Galmerthos is the Thard river, then poled and expanded and drained by channels to form the Golotha of today.
While very well situated to be a major trade hub, the dark nature of the city's Temples sets it back from becoming so. Not the place for a night time stroll unless you are as dark as the night yourself.

Golotha is a busy port, primarily with fishing and the reloading of goods inbetween seafaring vessels and smaller boats and barges that navigates the River Thard - trading to the Thardic Republic primarily.
Entertainment for the citizens is held at the Pamesani Arena, with fights at New Moon (Yaelmor) and at Full Moon (Yaelah) - for those inclinded to such violence. Given the arena at Golotha being the second largest on Hârn ( after the one in Coranan )- that's close to everyone. Not for the faint of heart, some events are more than brutal.
