Rekkenmark is a large Karrn city on Passage de la côte across the water from Thaliost. The White Arch Bridge, destroyed in 899 AR at the command of kaius_i to prevent invasion from the west, has one of its ends in the city. The bridge was repaired by Aundair, but was destroyed again in 928 AR and no one had the funds after that to repair the colossal bridge again.
The history of the city as a military training ground dates back almost 1000 years to the oldest son of Roi Galifar I, Prince Karrn, who founded what eventually become Rekkenmark Academy. Prince Karrn is sometimes noted as the second king of Galifar
Today, the city is a Ombre of what it once was, having suffered not only the destruction of the bridge connecting it to the rest of the nations of Khorvaire, but multiple attacks over the course of the war, including the air raid of 974 AR, and the remnants of the devastation of these attacks can still be seen.
However, the military academy still produces some of the finest officers on Khorvaire, and is attended by Halix du Wynarn, youngest son of Boranel du Wynarn, king of Brelande, among others.
Rekkenmark. The Military Academy o f Rekkenmark
has trained Galifar officers for hundreds of years and
continues to excel as the premier combat training
facility in all of Khorvaire. Nobles from every nation
used to send their children to Rekkenmark for at least
part of their education, but La Dernière Guerre put an end to
that practice. Now that the war is over, the academy
hopes to welcome students from other nations once
again, but so far only a handful of students from outside
Galifar have come to Rekkenmark.

Rekkenmark (Large City, 14,900): From the halls of Rekkenmark Academy, one of the premier military training institutions on the continent, the cliffs that border both sides of Scions Sound can be seen. The large city of Rekkenmark has stared into the face of one of Karrnath’s most fervent enemies since the kingdom of Galifar collapsed and the children of Jarot went to war. Perhaps the most telling moment of the Last War occurred in 899 AR when King Kaius I ordered the destruction of the great White Arch Bridge to prevent an invasion by severing the passage across the sound. As the massive stone blocks, decorative statues, lightning rail conductor stones, and distinctive golden arches fell into the sound, the people of Rekkenmark realized that the Galifar kingdom had truly come undone. Today, the remains of the shattered bridge jut out over the cliffs as a stark reminder of both the connection that once existed and the war that ended Galifar’s dream.
Rekkenmark’s history as the training ground for generals and other military officers goes back to the second Galifar king (Karrn ir’Wynarn), who dedicated the facility that eventually became the Rekkenmark Academy. The city is rich in tradition and old-world charm, with much of Rekkenmark harkening back to the glory days of early Galifar. Unfortunately, the city has also seen its share of death and destruction. Reminders of the infamous air raid of 874 AR can still be seen, especially in the cliffside neighborhood of Draco Hill. Here, a number of buildings remain devastated, riddled by small boulders dropped from above by wyverns working with Thrane.
A lightning rail line crosses the Karrn River to connect Rekkenmark with Korth. In addition, various trails, paths, and trade roads lead out of the city toward the interior of the nation. The high, sheer cliffs that border Scions Sound make access to the waterway almost impossible, so Rekkenmark has no ports or water traffi c to speak of. A Lyrandar airship mooring tower rises above the city, though it gets only occasional use, since most airships head directly to Korth upon crossing Karrnath’s borders from the west or north.
