Karch Mard (pronounced KARCH MAR-ed) is a city in the Viridian province of Tumunzar. Though historically an ancestral city of the Tumunzari dwarves, today the dwarves only account for a plurality of its population. Ratfolk of roughly equal number live in the city as well, as well as some humans. In part this is due to the location of the settlement on the northwestern-most edge of Tumunzar, on the margins of the Tumunzari Hills that have long served as an impediment to settlement by outsiders, and in part due to long-standing connections with ratfolk of the Depths below.
Karch Mard was once, briefly, under the control of House Matinus, a minor senatorial family, before they were exiled back to Akras in the early ninety third millennium.
