Bakhtomar

Bakhtomar (Hashurukoské Bakhtyumar) is a major city in the north of Hashuru], which served as the capital of the [[State of Hashuru for some of the most tumultuous periods in its history.

Geography
Bakhtomar lies in the north of Hashuru, and was the first of two capital cities of the state not to abut the river Ansarién directly. Instead it sits by the Kiramis river, one of the two main rivers that flow through the Red Plain. The Kiramis guards the southern and western flank of the city, while its southeast and east are secured by a spur of the Cloud Mountains.

History
Given its strategic location, Bakhtomar has been settled and used by the Hashurukasane as a stronghold even before there was a state of Hashuru. Indeed, given that the tribes of the Kiramis river were one of the founders of the state that would dominate all Hashuru, it is very possible that Bakhtomar was a military headquarters in those times; certainly, even when the royal capital was at Renlékhdi to the southeast, a strong garrison was retained there.
