Kaupang (Normark Norse: Kjøping; Hurmumol: Kawpangar; Lakkvian: Kaupunki; Army Crandish: Köping) is the largest city and temporary capital of the Hurmu Trust Territory. Located at the westernmost point of the Holy Lake of Shelm, it was originally a Hurmu marketplace (kaupang is Old Norse for "market town"), which by c. 1500 was chartered by the Storish high king Harald a city. Despite this, it has had a strong Hurmu feel to it, with Hurmu establishing a university there. The university was for a while known as Haldarsvik University but is called "the University in Kaupang" today.
The Kaupang region is famous for its tea; as such there are many tea houses in Kaupang and many tea merchants of high renown.
