Rak Cthol was a major Murgo city in the Wasteland of the Murgos, in the northwest of Cthol Murgos. It was a highly walled fortress, built atop a half-mile high mountain using extensive slave labor (for over a thousand years) and was home to Ctuchik, a Disciple of Torak. Rak Cthol was the spiritual headquarters of the Grolim priesthood. Rak Cthol's walls were described as being ten times to fifty times high than the walls of Vo Mimbre, and that people could see ten leagues in any direction from the walls.
