Government
The leader of Alk’Hara is, and always has been a Queen. Any attempts to raise a patron to leadership in this kingdom have ended with tragedy. Some believe it a mandate from the gods. The current ruler is Queen Mio’Nalla. She rules in the Palace of the Sphinx in Den’Mezzier.

Den’Mezzier
The gem of the Northern Coast. A city of immense wealth and art. It is made up of many smaller satellite towns that collectively make the largest city in all of Macinar. Mendra, Del’Menra, and Zanden are the three largest segments of this hive of cities. Some believe the reason for their great wealth is their use of slavery, frowned on by the other 4 Kingdoms, and often a source of conflict between them.

The Breathless Sands
Hundreds of miles of incredibly hot and deadly desert. Home to horrible sand storms, powerful beasts, and deadly foes.

Rhak’Tar Mountains
A large portion of rocky wasteland and tall stone mountains given by the old Queen to what many call the “savage” races. They stay in their territory, for the most part, and help defend the border during times of war. Orcs, Hobgoblins, Giants, and Gnolls can be found in many thriving colonies together in this place.

The Burning Wilds
A series of wild flat landscapes speckled with lush groves of old trees and oases which lead into jungle the further west you travel.

The Nimarri Mountains
The highest altitude in all of Alk’Hara, these ancient mountains were once home many many older civilizations, but fell to ruin. Now, nestled along the coast at their base, the new home of the Dragonborn, Drakkar, can be found (not featured on map). These planar refugees fled the destruction of their homeland and, after landing in Alk’Hara, made a deal with the Queen to align themselves with her if they were granted land for their new home.
