'''Al Kharid''' ([[Pronunciation|pronounced]] ''"Al car-RID"''{{CitePostbag|url=http://www.webcitation.org/6AZd0ApOI|issue=35|letter=4|title=But how do you pruh-nounce Rell-doh?|date=12:36, September 10, 2012 (UTC)}}) is a city in the northern part of the [[Kharidian Desert]]. It is the only desert city open to [[non-members]] and players in the city do not suffer from the desert effect.

Al Kharid is ruled by the [[Emir]], although the vast majority of the work has been taken over by [[Chancellor Hassan]] since the Emir's son was kidnapped. The city is independent from both [[Misthalin]], or any government in the [[Kharidian desert]]. Al Kharid was built in the last years of the [[Fourth Age]], by settlers from [[Misthalin]] crossing the newly-constructed bridge over the [[River Lum]]. The [[Gods|dominant religion]] of Al Kharid is the [[Menaphite Pantheon]].

In the early [[Fifth Age]], Al Kharid was one party of a bloody war with [[Menaphos]], the one half of the capital city of the Desert. Some 50 or 60 years ago, the Emir and [[the Pharaoh]] of the Menaphites established a peace pact to protect the prosperity and wealth of both cities. The Pharaoh planned to reopen Menaphos to public, but this was prevented by the Goddess of Destruction, [[Amascut]], who unleashed a hazardous plague on the neighbouring city [[Sophanem]], leaving the [[Het]]ian pharaoh no choice but to close the city and put Sophanem in quarantine, leaving many Sophanites trapped in Menaphos. Menaphos became heavily guarded, under the command of [[Coenus]], even so when Sophanem was freed after [[Contact!]]. Al Kharid had much involvement in these developments, since Kharidian agents were trapped in Menaphos. [[Maisa]], sent by spymaster [[Osman]], and an adventurer tried to find a way through a very dangerous [[Sophanem Dungeon|tunnel system]] under the cities to escape Menaphos, but a huge chasm and a [[giant scarab]] prevented this, the latter being the reason for the death of agent [[Kaleef]]. After the quarantine was lifted, Maisa had already escaped the city by pretending to have died of the plague, after which her body was dumped into Sophanem to be embalmed.

This city is particularly useful to power miners because of the nearby [[Al Kharid Mine]], which contains [[tin]], [[copper]], [[iron ore|iron]], [[silver ore|silver]], [[gold ore|gold]], [[coal]], [[mithril ore|mithril]] and [[adamant ore|adamant]] ores.

==Trivia==
[[File:Toll gate old.png|thumb|right|The toll gate before It's graphical update, note the [[Border Guard|border guards']] original look.]]
*The furnace in Al Kharid is the closest furnace to a bank for non-members.
*According to the [[:File:DeviousMUD Map.jpg|map of DeviousMUD]], Al Kharid was to be called "Al Karid".
*In the god letters, it was stated that [[Mehkmets]] lived in the area around the [[Second Age|Second]] or [[Third Age]].
*Despite its Middle Eastern-sounding name, the phrase "Al-Kharid" does not actually mean anything in any language. If one takes it apart, the prefix "al-" equates to the article "the" in Arabic; "Kharid", however, has no meaning in Arabic, but in Persian it could translate to "purchase" (as a noun). This is likely an attempt to create a pseudo-Arabic sounding word reflecting Al Kharid's commercial nature.
*There is a glitch that when you walk past a certain point near the edge of the path just outside Al Kharid bank, your character will turn around and walk in the other direction, and you will be unable to walk through this point. This glitch has not been fixed.

*There is a glitch where if you went to where the checkpoint was from the Gielinor Games marathon while in a world where the Morytania marathon used to take place and hover the mouse to where it was,you can right click it and an examine option would appear.
