"In the days when Ravka had been split from its western coastline by the Shadow Fold, Kribirsk had served as the last place of safety, a town where merchants and bold travelers outfitted their journeys and where soldiers might spend a final night drinking away their terror or paying for comfort in a lover's arms before they boarded a sandskiff and were launched into the unnatural darkness of the Fold." — Description, King of Scars

Kribirsk is a city in central Ravka that serves as one side of the crossing of the Shadow Fold. It is located on the eastern side of the Fold.

History

Shadow and Bone

Kribirsk is where Alina Starkov and Malyen Oretsev stay with their regiment before crossing the Fold.

King of Scars

Kribirsk's economy has suffered greatly since the city is no longer a necessary port, as the Shadow Fold is no longer dangerous to cross. A blazing golden sun is hung over the entry of the church, making it clear that the building had been reconsecrated to Sankta Alina.

After Nikolai Lantsov attempts the obisbaya ritual and is injured, Zoya Nazyalensky sets out for Kribirsk and returns with horses, a pack of traveling clothes, and a young Grisha Healer.

Description

Kribirsk had been a sleepy market town before the Fold was created, containing little more than a main square and an inn for travelers. However, it became a ramshackle port city, with a permanent military encampment and a drydocks where sandskiffs waited to take passengers across the Fold to West Ravka. There are taverns, pubs, brothels, shops selling necessary equipment for a journey across the Fold, and a small church.
