Tanchico is the capital of [Tarabon]. It lies on the [Aryth Ocean] at the mouth of the River Andahar. Tanchico is built on three hilly peninsulas extending south into Tanchico Bay. From east to west the peninsulas are named Verana, Maseta and Calpene. A dozen fortresses surround the harbor. The Great Circle on the Calpene is a huge gathering place for horse races or fireworks. The King's Circle is on the Maseta and the Panarch's Circle and [Panarch's Palace|Panarchs Palace] are on the Verana. Tanchico is larger than [Tear|Tear (City)] and maybe even [Caemlyn]. The Civil Watch keeps order in the city.

Map: A map of Tanchico is available in [The Shadow Rising] hc p. 429, pb p. 618, and in the [Guide], p. 275.
