{{Tsrwotc}} '"Khinasi'" is what the first [[Anuirean]]s, unwilling to show proper respect to a land foreign to their customs and with a foreign [[language]], called [[BRCS:Chapter one/Character/Khinasi|the people]] and the land. Originally and still used by the [[Basarji]], who have chosen not to embarass foreigners by always lecturing them about the correct name of their lands the name is "khir-aften-el-Arrasi" = Lands under the protection of el-Arrasi" in honor of the liberator of the Basarji people from the control of the [[Anuirean Empire]]. The Southernmost portions of [[Cerilia]] are the lands of the Khinasi. These lands reach to the [[Harrowmarsh]] in the west, to the forests south of [[Brechtür]] in the north. to the south is the [[Baïr el-Mehare]] and to the east is the [[Sea of Dragons]] which separates Cerilia from [[Djapar]], ancestral home of the [[Basarji]]. To the south of the Khinasi mainland is the [[Isle of Ghosts]], and further still, the [[Sahirde el-Mahare]] (the Golden Archipelago) while to the south east are the [[Dragon Isles]], both island chains are used by the few sailors who dare cross the ocean of Djapar. The lands of the Khinasi are often referred to as the Cities of the Sun by [[Anuirean]] and [[Brecht]] scholars. The Anuireans called the southern coast the Saere Siendere, or Sun Coast. The land splits, loosely, into the '''Plains states''', the '''Zhaïnge Valley''', the '''Drocandragh''', the '''Island States''' and the '''Basarji Islands'''. == The Plains States == These are the [[realm]]s most often thought of when an Anuirean or Brecht speaks of the Khinasi and include historic [[Ariya]], birthplace of [[el-Arassi]], wind-swept [[Binsada]], home to the nomads that still follow the ancient [[Basarji]] ways, the lands of [[the Sphinx]], a terrible [[awnshegh]], ambitious [[Aftane]], corrupt [[Sendoure]] riven by guild conflict, the desolate [[Tarvan Waste]], and deeply religious [[Zikala]]. Some count the deadly [[Harrowmarsh]] of [[the Hydra]] within the plains states, though no native of the plains would ever consider the marsh Khinasi - if they even considered it at all. * [[Introduction Plains States|Introduction]] * [[Aftane]] * [[Ariya]] * [[Binsada]] * [[Harrowmarsh|The Harrowmarsh]] * [[Sendoure]] * [[The Sphinx's Domain|The Sphinx]] * [[Tarvan Waste]] * [[Zikala]] * [[Other Domains Plains States|Other Domains]] == The Zhaïnge Valley == Named for the great Zhaïnge river, holds embattled [[Mesire]], the wastes home to [[the Basilisk]], the [[gnoll]]s of the [[Black Spear Tribes]], ancient [[elves|elven]] [[Innishiere]], and the [[Vos]] controlled realm of [[Kozlovnyy]]. * [[Introduction Zhaïnge Valley|Introduction]] * [[The Basilisk's Domain|The Basilisk]] * [[Mesire]] * [[Black Spear Tribes]] * [[Innishiere]] * [[Kozlovnyy]] * [[Other Domains Zhaïnge Valley|Other Domains]] == The Drocandragh == This is a majestic region of forested mountains and high still lakes, vast areas of woodlands remain untouched by human hands. The Drocandragh is home to guild-dominated [[Djafra]], independent [[Khourane]] and the conquered realm of [[Mour el-Sirad]], the brutal [[orog]]s of the [[Iron Hand Tribes]], the realm named after [[the Lamia]], a [[awnshegh]] no less deadly for her narcissism, militaristic [[Min Dhousai]] and the open [[elf]] realm of [[Rhuannach]]. Legendary [[Kheleb-izhil]] of the [[dwarves]] was said to be found somewhere in the Drochandragh but the dwarves have not been seen in centuries. * [[Introduction Drocandragh|Introduction]] * [[Djafra]] * [[Iron Hand Tribes]] * [[Kheleb-izhil]] * [[Khourane]] * [[The Lamia's Realm|The Lamia]] * [[Min Dhousai]] * [[Mour el-Sirad]] * [[Rhuannach]] * [[Other Domains Drocandragh|Other Domains]] == The Island States == This area comprises a a collection of states on the islands south and east of the Khinasi lands and also include the isolated realms on the east coast that are almost unreachable by land. The Island States include the [[Isle of the Serpent]], home to one of Cerilia's most powerful [[awnsheghlien]], the war-torn realm of [[Vos]] dominated [[Pipyret]], now more commonly named after its [[regent]], [[the Magian]], who is a deadly [[mage]] with few, perhaps no, equals in magical might. [[Suiriene]] the fair remained an [[Anuirean]] colony long after the [[Anuirean Empire|empire]] withdrew from much of Khinasi and the culture is still a mixture of the two human tribes, [[Ghamoura]] by contrast never yielded to the empire and also scorns its fellow Khinasi states for their tolerance of [[magic]], which the theocracy sees as impure. The tiny state of [[Mairada]] holds itself neutral from the dealings of the states around it, while the [[Maze of the Minotaur]] is only ever remembered due to the presence of [[the Minotaur]] himself. Last is [[Merasaf]], an embattled realm pressed by [[orogs]] to the west and Vos to the North. * [[Introduction Island States|Introduction]] * [[Isle of the Serpent]] * [[The Magian's Domain]] * [[Suiriene]] * [[Ghamoura]] * [[Mairada]] * [[Merasaf]] * [[The Minotaur|Maze of the Minotaur]] * [[Other Domains Island States|Other Domains]] == The Basarji Islands == These islands are not truly part of Khinasi, although they are populated mainly by descendants of the [[Masetian]]s and [[Basarji]] and so often appear Khinasi to the unaware. Although they are rarely referred to collectively, some scholars call them the Basarji islands due to the predominant population. * [[Isle of Ghosts]] * [[Islands of the East|Sahirde el-Mahare]] * [[Islands of the East|Dragon Isles]] * [[Other Domains Basarji Islands|Other Domains]] ==References== {{Cite book | author = [[Richard Baker|Rich Baker]] | year = 1995 | title = [[Cities of the Sun]] | publisher = [[TSR, Inc.]] | ISBN = 0-7869-0194-2 | pages = {{{1|}}} }} [[Category:Birthright locations|Khinasi]]
