Ulamba
The Kingdom of Ulamba is a chiefly Xhalantu land located in southeastern Idiri, with a coastline bordering the Sea of Salaah to the east and the Ragged Sea to the south. It is a hereditary monarchy whose kings may be either men or women, supported by a number of landholding noble families who owe their loyalty to the crown. Much of its settled population is located in the healthier heights in the middle of the country, where its capital Dhola impresses vistors with its substantial granite architecture and sweeping views.
Ulamba's prosperity is founded upon the twin pillars of its great cattle herds and the trade in gold from the mines in its interior. Strong commercial ties connect it to the nearby demicontinent of Jalanjhur, as well as with the lands of South Idiri and the Sirdabi Caliphate. It has an age-old rivalry with its neighbor the Nyone Confederacy, and also finds the piratically-inclined Zendizi Isles to be a frequent thorn in its side.
