Ishkot

Ishkot is a major city in Ikhan. Located on the eastern coast of Ardia, it is positioned half-way between Ikan and the border with Rokkenjima. It was formerly the capital of the Kingdom of Vrashe before it merged with Misra by the 11th century CE. Up until the mid-19th century, the city was under the control of Clan Khasa, though the clan still possesses the title of "Prince of Ishkot" de-jure. It is currently a major port in Ikhan and one of the primary bases of the Imperial Navy, as well as it's headquarters.

Etymology
Ishkot was formerly known as "Ishen'Khotoi" (Arashin: 𐰮𐰅𐰐𐰃, lit. City of Ishen), named for the Arashin creator-deity, Ishen. Over time, the city slowly came to be known by it's current name, with several books referring to it as "Ishekhot" (𐰔𐰆𐰬𐰅𐰐𐰃) by the mid-14th century. The modern form of the name appears first in the Khotoi'Arat (Book of Cities) written by Esik Ikosin.
