Balimarutha is a legendary, antediluvian city thought to lay west of Thorto Island, south of the Kumeikenot Channel. Scholars have tentatively parsed the meaning as "Bali's Landing" where 'Bali' is an ancient name in a poorly attested language for the god, Penjahlos (See Lygdamion). The epic poem, the Aturyandakumi, recounts that the cities of Balimarutha and Kathyasundi were at war shortly before the Great Flood. The city Kathyasundi worshiped the Kalaman divinity Atur who was its patron god and the city Balimarutha worshiped the chaos god, Penjahlos. Several myths tell of the destruction of the city.
In ancient legend, the city of Balimarutha lay on the coast next to the mouth of a great river that flowed from the north. Some scholars believe that the Shadew River entered the sea where Balimarutha once lay in antediluvian times when the coast of the Shadevan Delta was farther south and the present island of Zander was a large southward-jutting peninsula of the Delta.
