Khatrish

Khatrish, Khaganate of: A small kingdom founded in the upheaval following the Khamorth invasion of Videssos. It is a small khaganate that lies eastward of Videssos and south of Thatagush and is bound by the Astris River and the Sailor's Sea. Namdalen lies directly adjacent to Khatrish. Khatrish, more than any other Khamort founded state (like Kubrat or Thatagush) imitated Videssian ways though the Khatrishers are known for being more irreverent and less stodgy than Videssians. Because of the Khamorth invasion, the worship of Phos was altered in the lands the Khamorth overran. Belief in the Balance of Phos--the view that the final outcome between good and evil cannot be known, that Phos and Skotos are evenly balanced--prevails in Khatrish. Khatrish is known for its freewheeling, light cavalry that maneuver quickly and ply their enemies with arrows. Khatrish sent troops to aid Videssos against Yezd.
