Amshan (pronounced AHM-shahn) is the largest nation on the western coast of the Kirnashal Sea. Its philosopher-monarchs are well-known for their patronage of intellectuals of all kinds, and the empire is a haven for artists, theologians, historians, and mages. Between its control of the eastern terminus of the Golden Path and the skill of its professional military, Amshan has long been the dominant power around the Kirnashal Sea.
