Ak-Koba

Ak-Koba is a fictional location within the fictional universe of the The Belgariad and The Malloreon series of fantasy novels by David Eddings. Ak-Koba is described as a fortress city located in the Algaria region, specifically on the eastern frontier between Algaria and the kingdom of Sendaria.

The city is significant for being a strategic point of defense against incursions from the east. Its fortifications are notable for being particularly strong and resilient, designed to withstand prolonged sieges. In the novels, Ak-Koba serves as a military outpost and a center for trade between the Algars and other regions.

While the city itself doesn't hold primary plot significance throughout the entirety of the two series, it is frequently mentioned in passing to establish the geographic and political landscape of the world. It is an important, albeit relatively minor, settlement in illustrating the challenges and responsibilities faced by the Algarian people in maintaining their borders and protecting their lands. It is primarily known for its imposing nature and the hardy soldiers stationed there.
