Narda was a small and isolated trading city on Alagaësia's western coastline, mostly cut off from the rest of Alagaësia by the Spine. It was where Roran and the other villagers of Carvahall hired the barges of Clovis to take them to Teirm. It had a small wall surrounding it and the population was insignificant. The majority of the population was employed in the fishing or whaling industry. Due to its isolation behind the Spine, the people of Narda held unusual customs and superstitions.
