The three strongest Black Ark Captains rule Clar Karond jointly. The positions of Dark Lord tend to change frequently, as the Captains are slain in battle or assassinated by rivals.
The symbols of Clar Karond are trees or a Black Ark.
Clar Karond is the breadbasket of Naggaroth. It is the only city with a climate warm enough to grow crops. The soil around Clar Karond is rich with minerals making it the perfect spot to harvest food. The fields are located to the east of the city, with the Sea of Malice to the north and the Black Forests to the south.
Clar Karond is also known for its excellent wines, which are renowned throughout the land. They are grown in orchards all around the Tower of Doom. There are two brands of wine: Blood Wine and Winter Wine. Blood Wine is named because of its bloody red colour. It is the lesser of the two wines, that which is drunk by the common people of Naggaroth. Winter Wine is clear, and possesses and much better flavour. It is rarer and reserved for the rich and powerful nobles.
The Black Forest is the only large forest in the area and thus very important. The Witch-King’s armies and fleets require a lot of wood so slave gangs are constantly cutting down trees and dragging them to Clar Karond.
Dark Elf slaves are responsible for doing all of the above work. They are found in the fields, forests and docks of Clar Karond doing tasks deemed to menial and back breaking for Dark Elves to do. The lives of these slave labourers are mercifully short, but in their times as slaves they get to know about Hell on earth.
The Tower of Doom is Naggaroth’s ship building centre. All of Naggaroth’s ships are built here from the small Reaver ships to the massive stone and metal Black Arks. The building of a Black Ark is a very rare event, as rock and iron must be sent from Hag Graef in enormous quantities. Most of the time the sleek Reavers are built, as they are made of wood and much smaller. The Reavers are used mostly in inter city trade, although they are used occasionally in war to harry enemy ships and drive them towards the Black Arks.
The Tower of Doom is surrounded by the Black Forest everywhere except to the Northeast where the Nightoak River leads to the Sea of Malice. Thus in the Northeast section of the city lies its docks and shipping industry. In the east part of the city are its markets, where food is bought and then sent to the other Dark Elf cities. In the centre of the city lies the three palaces of the Dark Lords, surrounded by the Corsairs living quarters and the small temple of Khaine. The south and west sections of the city are the living quarters of the common Dark Elves. The multitudes of slaves are mostly kept in the streets, left to freeze in the bitter cold of the north.
Clar Karond’s army is not a standard Dark Elf army, relying on its multitudes of Black Ark Corsairs and slaves in combat over regular Dark Elf Warriors. The Tower of Doom possesses almost no cavalry, instead using infantry as its main troops. With the nearby forest Clar Karond can field a lot of war machines and missile troops.
