Mamlaka

Mamlaka is a nation in the southeast of Dytika on the coast of the Dragon Sea. It is the most ancient nation of humans in Dytika, with a history stretching back to when the whole subcontinent was populated by elves.

All major Mamlakan cities lie on Khnum's Bow, a river- like body of water snaking through the country, connecting at both ends to the Dragon Sea. Despite this, Mamlakan religion is tied chiefly to the desert, and the spirits found there.

In the days of the First Kingdom, countless miliniums ago, a massive pyramid was built, deep in the desert. It is called the City of the Dead, and Mamlakan kings would go there to be resurrected and live forever, bringing with them all the riches and servants they could afford. Anyone, in fact, is welcome to enter the city, but it's forbidden to ever leave.
