Rala-Pithur
Rala-Pithur is a kingdom in modern Asdar that lies in the eastern end of the Khadzawtha Wastes of Weshif. It stretches from the borders of the Dominion of the Djinn through various wastes and hills of the desert to the sea-wrapped peninsula known as Theersuba. It borders Shaliz-Um-Warif to the northwest and Shagrela'al to the southeast. The Luphkhaymen Mountains form much of its northeastern and eastern borders. Rala-Pithur's eastern border is shared with the notorious and lawless region known from ancient times as Ohrimar. Part of its shared border with Shaliz-Um-Warif includes the boundary with the semi-autonomous region known as Behrat. Despite these various external instabilities, Rala-Pithur remains stable. The kingdom has treaties of peace with its two greatest neighbors, Shaliz-Um-Warif and Shagrela'al. It is thought the king has a truce or at least an understanding with the mysterious ruler or rulers of the Dominion of the Djinn. The royal palace of Rala-Pithur rests in the coastal city of Galibzath which faces south across the Bay of Guardians, across from Jamjisara, the capital of neighboring Shagrela'al.
The climate of Rala-Pithur is hot and very dry. Most rains fall upon the southern coasts. There a several treasured desert oases that are regulated by the king.
Rala-Pithur's economy is based upon animal herding and a smattering of light taxes and fees imposed upon merchant caravans and skycraft which pass through the realm. It is sometimes used as a fly-over country to avoid passing over Shagrela'al which is has stricter customs laws. Despite this relative laxness, Rala-Pithur is stricter than its notorious neighbor, Shaliz-Um-Warif, and of course more lawful than its eastern neighbor, Ohrimar. Galibzath is an important merchant destination for regional seaships in the Titans Sea. The most populated regions are Dhaaz and Theersuba.
