Zakdin is the capital of Hatar, an archipelagic state ruled by a king in the Pebbled Sea. In 1034 K.F. a smallpox epidemic broke out which also resulted in riots. Amiliane fa Landreg and Mattin fer Toren died in the pox, the TraderPirisi was killed by the rioting mob.
Before the smallpox epidemic the Amphitheatre of Heroes was a notable sight in Zakdin, all build in wood. It burned down, however, when the vicitims of the pox were all put there and fire was set to it. The King promised to rebuilt it much more splendid, in marble.[1]
