anglicized pronunciation /ˈʃɛləˌkʌmbiə/. Shelekhumbia encompasses the lands of the Bay of Shelekhumbia and the lands along the Leh-Shelekhumbis River. The term is historic and cultural, not political. The modern government of these lands is the Sultanate of Beph-Themesh.
Shelekhumbia is a semi-arid to arid region traversed by the waters of the Leh-Shelekhumbis River. It was inhabited in ancient times by the Shelekhumbi people. Later, Thammazite Tribes migrated from southern Weshif into the land.
Geography
Shelekhumbia is a dry region that lies in northern Weshif, hemmed in to the northeast by the Adamantine Mountains and to the southwest by the much smaller Luphkhaymen Mountains. The Leh-Shelekhumbis River is critical to the region, providing water, irrigation, and riparine transportation to desert towns and cities. The desert in which much of Shelekhumbia is found is called the Susurrant Desert.

Nomadic Invasions from Weshif
The City-State period ends in early fifth millennium with the press of the Thammazite Tribes out of Weshif. These desert nomads push the Esabdalite people, already living in Weshif into Shelekhumbia. The Shelekhumbians resettle the Esabdalites into Yephalah. They became a buffer state against the incursions of the Adamantine Giants who also invaded from the east during this tumultuous period.
