Krath

The Krathi river delta, or simply Krath, is a huge complex of entwining rivers and marshland along the southern coast of the Pohmyran Bay. It was here that agriculture first developed during prehistory, and the wet climate combined with the warm summers allows huge rice harvests. The delta has been sprawling with all sorts of cultures for as long as agriculture has existed there, and it has seen its share of great dynasties and empires rising and falling. Although as writing was not invented in those times, practically nothing about these societies has survived except in myth. The only nation that people know existed for sure was the enormous Salkrathi mathakate, which was the world's most powerful nation for at least a few centuries before its collapse. The Krathi nations of Skoracladth, Ekreth and Sethcron all claim to be the successor states of Salkrath.

Krath's delta is populated by an assortment of cultures, and it is said that before the rise of the mathakates, not much amendment was done between warring tribes. However in later times, most cultural conflicts are resolved quite peacefully, often through a system of courts. In the center of Krath, the agrian Slokrathi is the largest of the cultures, and they are mixed with the Netred, the Melkcladthi, the southern Umblan. There are also Umblan populations in the east, as well as Lannetred and Croladthi. In the west, there are a mixture of middle populations as well as the Unnetred. Beside this, herding Slokrathi populate the hills and mountains on the outskirts of Krath. All of these populations speak Slokrathi as a lingua franca while many of them speak smaller local languages. Religiously, the delta is extremely diverse, but religious conflict is rarely seen as Krathi cultures commonly embrace some form of Reledth polytheism.

In more recent times, Krathi has seen a lot of drought, and harvests have failed several years in a row, bringing famine to all Krathi populations who sustain themselves on rice. Additionally, the salt crisis of Meihmar and the encroaching epidemic of the Death Waters has brought much devastation to the delta.
