Sarskoye Gorodishche

"Visited Sarskoye Gorodishche to escape death, and boy does it smell bad! But either this or join the corpses outside the walls, which smell much worse."

"At least these people eat dead horses, and not each other."

—Niles Cartouchian

• Sarskoye Gorodishche @ Wikipedia - Sarskoye Gorodishche or Sarsky fort (Russian: Сарское городище, literally "Citadel on the Sara") was a medieval fortified settlement in the Yaroslavl Oblast of Russia. It was situated on the bank of the Sara River, a short distance from Lake Nero, to the south of modern Rostov, of which it seems to have been the early medieval predecessor.
