Krondor

Krondor is a fictional city featured prominently in Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Saga and its subsequent expansions. It serves as the capital of the Kingdom of the Isles and is located on the western coast of the continent of Midkemia. The city is a major center of trade, politics, and culture within the kingdom, often depicted as a bustling metropolis with a diverse population.

Historically, Krondor has been the seat of power for the Kings of the Isles. Its strategic location has made it a target for invasion and conflict, most notably during the First and Second Rift Wars, where it faced attacks from invaders from the Tsurani Empire and later from the forces of the Pantathian Empire. The city's defenses, including its formidable walls and the Royal Castle, have played a crucial role in its survival.

The city is divided into various districts, each with its own character and function. Key locations within Krondor include the Royal Castle, the Temple of Ishap, the marketplace, and the Thieves' Guild headquarters, which is a significant clandestine organization operating within the city's underbelly. Krondor is also home to a prominent mage's guild, the Conclave of Shadows, though its influence and activities are often shrouded in mystery. The city's lore often revolves around political intrigue, espionage, and the struggles between its various factions and inhabitants.
