| The ships of Turan Cove are filled with men and women of all manner of origin. Port Karian's stand shoulder to shoulder with rough spoken natives and outlaws. They speak of a blended city where those of the main land and World's End co-exist mostly peacefully with each other. They brag of their taverns and brothels, free trade port and relaxed traditions. They are seeking men who desire independent living and a chance to earn coin, luck slaves, high caste women for unclear purposes. Various companies of mercenaries, merchants, and freebooters wend their way through the refugees making a point of speaking to other natives of New Sardar, and any other who appear to be on the fringe of society, including Panther Girls. It is said that both Gorean and Hyborian Common are spoken in Turan Cove.<includeonly> [[Turan Cove |<Read More>]] </includeonly><noinclude>[[category:TOC]][[Category:Locations]]

| Turan Cove, long live the High Pasha
| |
| It was often said that anyone who visited Turan Cove could find a welcome here, or a dagger in the back, as Turan Cove was what you made it.

| Anbar al Amara sailed into Turan Cove more than 50 years ago, his ship battered and barely afloat, but his crew and his goods intact. Only the most talented of sea men would have made it through the reefs that had destroyed greater crafts. Success had always come to Anbar who began life as a Tahari noman, turn merchant and spy-master. It would be here in this remote bay and sprawling collection of ramshackled homes that he would find his destiny.

| He took the challenge of transforming Turan Cove into a thriving port. He worked hard for years, and eventually, he had appointed himself High Pasha. While other towns have clear cut laws and regulations, Anbar allows some unspoken rules to flourish in Turan Cove, such as allowing Free Women to defend themselves against men - if they can. As well as recognizing the Thieves Caste as was done in distant Port Kar.

| Anbar implemented a fragile peace between his settlement and the Panther Girls, an all-female group of outlaws who roamed the forests. Panther girls are not an uncommon sight though most have the sensibility to cover themselves. Such peace turned the overland trade routes to a viable option for the transport of trade goods. While most of the city exports of olives, dates, and Tabuk are transported via ship to the other coastal cities and settlements, the surrounding area is safer for the tenuous loyalty earned from the Forest Women, who are rumored to function as scouts and spies for the wiley leadership of Turan Cove.

| Anbar has earned the respect and admiration of the people of Turan Cove for his ruthlessness and cunning.Today, as Anbar al Amara looked out over the settlement he had brought to prosperity, he felt a great swell of pride.Turan Cove had been the oldest settlement on the map and now rivaled Port Argentum for wealth and power. This fact, plus the recognition and employment of the mercenaries and freebooters makes Turan Cove an ideal option for native Hyborians and outlaws.
