Krazaaj Has (Ghardaq)
On this tab
Krazaaj Has is the name the Dothraki gave to the ruins of Ghardaq, an ancient Ghiscari city in Essos, lying between the Dothraki Sea and Lhazar, along the course of the river Skahazadhan.
Its present name, evoking a mountain stronghold, is all that remains of a city razed in ages past.
Description
Ghardaq was a Ghiscari city built south of the Dothraki Sea and north of Lhazar, at a stretch where the river Skahazadhan cuts through the plain. To the east lay two other ruins of the same region, Vaes Mejhah and Vaes Efe.
The city had pyramids, and it was this feature that the Dothraki captured when they renamed it after its fall: they called it Krazaaj Has, 'strong mountain', after those structures.

Destruction
Ghardaq was destroyed by the Dothraki during the Century of Blood, and nothing remained of the Ghiscari city but the ruins that today bear the name given to it by its destroyers.

The physical world
El nombre de la ciudad es de origen Dothraki. "Krazaaj" significa montaña, y "Has" significa fuerte, por lo que se podría traducir como "montaña fuerte".
