Overview of Karkh district
Karkh is a district in the western half of Baghdad, serving as the marketing district where large crowds gathered to do business and trade goods from China, Constantinople, and Spain.[1] By the 9th century, the district was split into three separate suburbs, the harbor region of Sharqiyah, the market region of Tabik containing The Bazaar, and the Fief of Rayasanah situated outside the Round City. In the 860s, Karkh was one of the districts chosen by the Alamut Hidden Ones' Mentor Fuladh Al Haami and Master Assassin Roshan to have a new bureau established.[2]
