Kuasta was a city located in the Spine and on the coast south of Teirm. It was the birthplace of Brom. Jeod implies that the city was much bigger than Teirm, as large as Dras-Leona and Gil'ead. It was so isolated by the Spine that it became a peculiar place, full of strange customs and superstitions. Brom, for instance, always knocked three times on a doorframe before entering or leaving a room. But during his training, he forgot his superstitions as a result of other Riders making fun of him.
