Garsun lies on the equatorial coast of the Junda Sea, notorious for its hot humid climate and constant rain. As an industrial port it has a reputation for being ugly, noisy and wreathed in clouds of acrid fumes and the stench of rotten fish.

Its name means “port of the sooin”, after the sooin fish which is unloaded in the city in great quantities.

Historically the city was capital of the Kingdom of Karsooin, a powerful Iskean city-state.
