A strange land steeped in generations of odd traditions the Fertile Land aka al'Khem is this and much more. This nation of islands and pyramids is known for both its impressive biodiversity and the terror many of these gargantuan creatures strike in the hearts of men throughout Taijitu. a'Khem is also known for its strange rigid caste system and being one of the few nations to still employ slavery (Gold coast style not Colonial). The immense structures of their cities lie as beacons of civilization in a largely untamed land. In the heart of each city is a Great Library which is always the tallest structure in any Khemish city. These Great Libraries house not only governance but also academic institutions of the Librarian Caste and the higher structures of the Soldier Caste. Throughout the cities there is a constant daylight hustle and bustle as the Craftsmen and Slave Castes conduct the works which truly make the civilization thrive. On the outskirts of many cities and along certain beachfronts there have sprung up innumerable slums of those of mixed blood and foreign ancestry and it is in these where the fermentation of rebellion begins. in the year 1984 Big Brother works behind a librarians desk.
