Karthwasten is a metropolis located in the Lorchwuir Heath region of Skyrim and the largest city in the Kingdom of the Reach. Though it suffered damage in the War of Bend'r Mahk, the city has since returned to being the wealthy and prosperous center of culture and commerce it has historically been. Jarl Jona the Ansei-Ender of the Fire-Hand Clan legally rules Karthwasten from her seat at Dragonstar, but in practice the city is controlled by her Thane, Fomir the Voiceful. Fomir has sat in the Red Palace with King Barda's support since the tense resolution to the Second Siege of Karthwasten.
Prior to the War of Bend'r Mahk, Karthwasten was ruled by Hammerfell and was led by the Uteiwho is this? of the Tombawhat is this? that inhabited Karthwasten. Many Redguards remain displeased by this loss of territory and oppose Skyrim's claim to the city. Some, such as the secret agents of the Sogat Dur-Gada, are actively working to overthrow the city's current Nord rulers to return it to Hammerfell.
DocksEdit
A district of Karthwasten located along the banks of the Karth River northeast of the city. The port is home to a combined granary and Harbormaster's Office, where a map of the Reach can be purchased from the harbormaster, as well as a number of grain silos and some cottages housing mostly sailors, fishermen and dockers. Erald the Thief has an unowned bed in his house, available for use by travellers.
Red PalaceEdit
The Red Palace can be found in the middle of Karthwasten, where Thane Fomir the Voiceful and Prince Alrod, son of King Barda, rule the city. A few services can be found north of the palace, while the homes of several nobles can be found east of it.
Commercial DistrictEdit
The Commercial District, found just west of the Red Palace, houses a multitude of different shops. It's here that the town square, bazaar, local Guild of Fighters and Guild of Mages guildhalls, Imperial Cult chapel, and guard barracks as well as the majority of the city's services can be found.
The OutskirtsEdit
The Outskirts are found on the western edge of Karthwasten. The majority of the area is being used as farmland, though a small slum where city's impoverished people, primarily Redguards and Reachmen, reside can be found at it's northern end. Between the slums and the Commercial District can be found the Droopy Mare Inn, which serves as the headquarters of the Karthwasten Thieves Guild.
