The Kanadhin Lands consist of a brutal mountain perimeter encircling the Kandar, a hyper-fertile valley basin. While the mountains provide mineral wealth and defensive barriers, the valley serves as a lush agricultural prize for competing warlords. Social order is dictated by the hard-line Quomia faith, which enforces rigid gender roles and bans all magic. Life here is defined by seasonal nomad migrations, religious zealotry, and the constant struggle to control the valley's bountiful harvests.
