Glasdor

Glasdor is a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Dragon Reborn," the third book in Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" series. It is a city situated in the region of Shara, a vast and largely desert-covered continent in the world of the Wheel of Time.

The city of Glasdor is notable for its isolation and the unique culture of its inhabitants. Sharans, in general, are known for their distinctive customs, including their deep reverence for lineage and their complex social hierarchy. Glasdor itself is depicted as a place where these traditions are particularly strong. The city's architecture and way of life reflect the harsh desert environment, with structures designed to provide shelter from the sun and sand.

In "The Dragon Reborn," Glasdor serves as a significant setting for a portion of the narrative. Characters travel to the city in pursuit of certain objectives, encountering the challenges and customs of its people. The city's inhabitants are often portrayed as proud and somewhat insular, accustomed to their ways and wary of outsiders. The events that unfold in Glasdor contribute to the larger plot of the novel, highlighting the cultural differences and political intricacies of the world. Glasdor, therefore, is more than just a backdrop; it is a place that shapes the experiences and decisions of the characters who venture there.
