Ikhatan

Ikhatan is the furthest-north region of Ishan, comprising of the Provinces of Khairos and Ikhatos as well as the Autonomous region of Khaenun. It stretches from the River Tsakat to the border with Kharas and to the Khetak isles that lay halfway to Rusan. It is the least densely populated region of the Empire, with much of the land still being dense, uninhabited forests and plains, with a few cities dotting the landscape, primarily along the coast. Much of the population is concentrated in the cities that rest on the Gulf of Iket and the Chatik and Orkhot bays. Due to settlement from the 19th century onwards, the local Shinai population has largely been assimilated by the ever-encroaching Murai, though this has led to an interesting blend of their cultures.
