Kalakh
Kalakh was capital of Assuria for a time several hundred years ago, but eventually diminished in importance when King Sardanopoleser built a new capital at Mineffeh. It sits at the confluence of the River Saan and the River Pykeris and is sometimes troubled by flooding when both rivers run high. Kalakh is an important center of glass-making, known especially for pale green and deep blue glass. Vessels are sometimes cut from solid blocks of colored glass, a rare technique used thousands of years ago but still seen in Assuria today.
