Cthol Mishrak was the name of Torak's city/fortress and was an early capital of Angarak and was also capital of the Mallorean Empire before Mal Zeth and Mal Yaska were built. Cthol Mishrak is situated in a basin, in a marshy area in extreme North-Western Ancient Mallorea close to the coast and the land bridge to Gar og Nadrak. It was built by the Angarak God Torak directly after his defeat in the War of the Gods, and housed an enormous iron tower, in which Torak resided and attempted to achieve control over the Orb of Aldur.
