ΒΆ Keshan
A hot, hilly kingdom, with thick jungles, its central region contained many steep escarpments which makes it difficult to traverse. Ocelots, snakes, tigers and other beasts are common in Keshan's jungles, and the mountains swarm with goats, bears and other wildlife.
It is a barbaric kingdom, with few of the more civilized customs provided by its fallen Shemitish rulers. It is the hereditary enemy of Punt and itself endures slave raids from Stygia and Shem.
The population is ruled by a mixed race of people claiming descent from the "mythical" people of Alkmeenon. The capital city is Keshia, a settlement of thatched huts clustering around the mud wall of the royal palace, which is made of mud, stone, and bamboo.
