Sarûl was a typical colony of Númenor after it's renaissance.It's grandeur taken to extreme: decoration too gaudy, structures too massive, avenues too barren. Sarûl was a city which was extreme in its opulence, and yet it lived uneasily. The Emperor of Tantûrak maintained an iron grip on the populace - city guards were always ill evidence (although they were easily bought). The isle to the left of the city was the main military base of the Tantûraki army. There were barracks, and a large field where drills were held daily.
