Kali-Kateht

For generations the Ukindan tribes made lived their lives on the move, yet eventually times came when, through either necessity or convenience, some of the tribes learned the benefits of setting up a permanent, stationary residence. Learning to plant and harvest crops, and to keep and raise beasts in a single spot, has been the largest change to Ukindan lifestyle within the last few centuries.

The Sephthys tribe was ahead of the others in terms of permanent settlements, with their great city of Kali-Kateht, which translates roughly into “city of divine community”. Kali-Kateht rests in the northwestern reaches of the Moh-Dute desert, built across where the River Sef joins with the River Nakkesh. Known for its green gardens, swaying palm trees, trade in textiles, and gold jewelry, Kali-Kateht is the ‘Oasis of the West,’ where many ambitious traders of the Merchants’ Guild travel to collect rare goods, returning to the eastern lands with extravagant rugs and shimmering necklaces. Built originally as a place of worship by Faerok Akhenotep. As such, each district of the city is built in the name of a different Sephthys deity, or at least those which the First Faerok thought worthy of his worship. The center of the city, the point of land formed between the banks of the two rivers, holds the golden palace of the Faerok.
