Ak-Khurman
The city of Ak-Khurman began as a small fishing village called Palo-Ben, and was founded by a small group of local tribesmen. The village began to prosper as first a harbor was built, and then a lighthouse. The lighthouse attracted the attention of the Mikku Tribe, who had just claimed a swath of land in the southern part of Khur, as part of their new khanate. The Mikku took over the town from the locals, and developed it further over the next few centuries into a large town.
By the War of the Lance, Ak-Khurman was a well-developed walled town, which was forced to accept the Green Dragonarmy inside their walls. The Mikku tried to profiteer from the Dragonarmy troops; however things turned sour when the daughter of the khan was killed by a green dragon. The Mikku then put all their energies into undermining the Dragonarmy and ultimately drove them from the town.
