Capital
Hi! I have found the Capital for the Kingdom of al-Abwab, it is Qarrī at these cordinates: 16.23773818431366, 32.63059430661341, according to this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/609883 //Nikolaj Cyon Nikolaj Cyon (talk) 15:40, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
 * What you refer to is the Funj Chronicle, a document from the 19th century that deals with the history of the Funj Sultanate. It does not mention al-Abwab and only refers to a "king of al-Qarri". Qarri is located at the 6th cataract and was the capital of the Abdallabi tribe, historically also known as Wad Ajib. They ruled northern Sudan as vassals of the Funj. There is no evidence that Qarri pre-dates the Islamic period (note how the chronicle itself states that the town was only founded after the alleged conquest) or that al-Abwab ever extended that far south.
