Harad Dakar was the capital city of Hardan. It was located between Kinslayer's Dagger and the northeastern branch of the River Erinin, where it formed the southern border of Shienar. Circa 700 NE, Hardan collapsed as its population declined to low levels and the city of Harad Dakar was abandoned. The city became an impromptu quarry as farmers and other settlers carted the stones of the buildings away to use for their own structures, so that by 998 NE very little was left to show a city had ever even been there.
