Ekbir, properly known as the Caliphate of Ekbir, is a political state of the Flanaess. It is situated in the Baklunish Basin region of the Flanaess, upon the shores of the Dramidj Ocean.

History[edit]

Founded by survivors of the Invoked Devastation who fled northeast, the small port-city quickly grew as northern nomads came to trade with the new settlers.

Geography and climate[edit]

Ekbir is bordered by the Dramidj Ocean to the west, the Yatil Mountains and Yecha Hills to the north, the Blashikmund River to the east, and the Tuflik River to the south. Across the Tuflik and Blashikmund lie the neighboring states of Zeif and Tusmit, respectively, while the Tiger Nomads lie to the north across the Yatils and Yechas. Most of the Udgru Forest lies in the northern reaches of Ekbir.

While the coastal areas of Ekbir are pleasant and mild year-round, winters within the interior can be rather severe.

People[edit]

Ekbiri natives are more or less pureblooded Baklunish.

Military[edit]

The army and navy of Ekbir are well able to repel the sworn ennemies of the Caliphate, among whom the fierce Chakyiks and the foul Ataphads, adventure takes here an epic magnitude, in the wake of great heroes of ancient times whose exploits are still praised in books, poems and songs.
