Zacapatu is the capital and third most populous city of Karazawa, with close to 3 millions inhabitants in its greater metropolitan area. The city was built along the Patzquro Lake, at more than 2000 meters high, in the region known as the Tsin Highlands.

The foundation of Zacapatu is hidden in the mist of its legendary past. Reiocoro, the first Caconzi, after defeating the cities of the Patzquro lake, decided to settle his tribe, the Karazawi, in what will become the city center of Zacapatu. To mark the limit of their new lands, the Karazawi erected 73 stones which were transformed into a great wall in the following decades. Zacapatu never lost its privilege of capital of the Caconzicua, and the only time the Caconzi didn't had residence in the city was during the reign of Cucumenthi I when the king had to take refuge in Elque, in the Este Pais Suyuu, because of the Malnonfi Junta becoming increasingly anti-monarchist.

While lacking in industries which can be found in neighboring cities, Zacapatu is the siege of the government, of the royal family, and is known for its numerous tourist spots. It is also home of some of the most reputed academies of the country and it more than 10,000 students come each years to study in Zacapatu.

Etymology

The name Zacapatu comes from the Azawarecha word Tsakapu meaning stone. When the Karazawi first settled around the Patzquro Lake, legends wants that their first king Reiocoro erected ninety-eight stones to mark the city's limits. The practice of erecting dolmens to mark the Caconzicua's borders will continue up until the 17th century, and the stones would became religious icones at which the Karazawi and visitors could come and make offerings to the gods.
