Hurlen is a city built on the large number of islands where the River Tardy joins the River Silver just north of the Cataracts. It consists of about 30 islands, of which Grand Hurlen is the largest. Hurlen gets most of it's wealth from the goods Karkinor sends down the Tardy to be sent north or south on the River Road. Because of being built on the islands, Hurlen is generally considered impregnable once its bridges are up. Hurlen may be part of the princedom of Karkinor, or it may be an independent city-state; it's not clear.

  • [W]here the Silver met the Tardy, the water broadened almost into a lake studded with about thirty islands, ranging in size from Grand Hurlen to rocks barely ten feet across. All of them had been hollowed out millennia ago, […] Later generations had built up the walls, first with stone blocks, then with wood. Stone bridges connected the lower stories. Two of them also extended to about fifty feet of each bank, ending in wooden drawbridges. The wooden spires rising above the islands' masonry were laced together with catwalks. Laundry fluttered like bright banners from them.
