Culture and Locations
Khandar is a coastal city-state with a low level king called a raqu. Its official religion is Pakorra, which promotes a balanced approach toward the mind and the body being in equilibrium. Khandare believe in attaining power in this way. Their capital is Rhusomi.
Khandar's shores are temperate grassland with subtropical rainforest inland and montane forest up the roots of the Great Opal Ranges. Mount Simemazha overlooks this area. The Khandar Coast makes up the shoreline here, giving access to the Sea of Ash.
