Vakor is the capital of Kolhar and it's second largest city. It has been the historical center of Kolhari culture and society since at least 1425, when the Kolhari King Kaidu moved the capital from Tailat to Vakor.

Etymology

Originally, the name of Vakor was Kaban (河畔), a combination of the characters for "river" (河) and a boundary path dividing fields (畔). The name was a reference to the city's location, having started as a settlement on the banks of a large river starting closer to the top of the mountain central to Kolhar. This name is currently considered obsolete, and is only used for a small number of subdivisions of the city.

Vakor gained its current name in 1425, when it was renamed by King Kaidu at the same time he moved the capital there. The name, written at the time as 𤤰亰, was a combination of the characters for "King" (𤤰) and "capital city" (亰) using characters most commonly used in Kolhar at the time.
