Qeshan Empire
The Qeshan Empire was an ancient power that dominated eastern Zarkhir centuries ago. It was the successor state to Khemsa and its capital city - Qet - was once one of the greatest cities of humanity.
A series of magical mishaps, natural disasters, and inept leadership over the years disintegrated the Qeshan Empire until all that remained was scattered ruins and monuments buried in the sands of the Varghani Desert. The capital still survives today as a decaying city-state.
