Varsha

Varsha is a city in the fantasy novel Uprooted. It is the birthplace of Sarkan, The Dragon.

Overview
150 years prior to the events of Uprooted, Sarkan accidentally started a magical fire. It is unclear how large the fire was; Sarkan refers to the incident as "[setting] fire to Varsha" as though it were the whole city, although he doesn't mention the extent of damage or any casualties.

There is an Archduke of Varsha and he has a nine-year-old daughter. Stashek, about seven years old, agrees to being betrothed to the daughter since he is impressed that she is "able to spit across a garden plot." The betrothal helps prevent the Archduke of Varsha from stirring up rebellion.
