Nomadic State of Malmkhitan

The Nomadic State of Malmkhitan is a country that is part of the Union of Eastern Nations.

Geography
Malmkhitan is located to the east of north of the Union of Eastern States and borders the Demon Lord's Domain. The nation mostly consists of steppes where nomadic tribes live

History
The region was originally inhabited by small warring nomadic tribes that often fought each other and also maintained blood ties through marriages. During tribal warfare the losing tribes were often absorbed by the victorius tribe and despite the constant conflict they considered each other to be a common people and thus when united during invasions to defend their lands.While tribes on the edge of the steppes traded with outsiders the region as a whole was largely closed off.

The threat of foreign invasions pushed the tribes towards unification and this was led by Raiga Haan of the Haan tribe which was the strongest and the largest of the steppe tribes. Raiga united tribes that supported him and defeated any tribes opposing unification to found the nation of Malmkhitan. However when the demons invaded the nation could not stand alone and thus joined the Union of Eastern Nations.

Military
Malmkhitan is known for its unique leaping cavalry that ride upon the Temsbock, a creature similar to a cow and a goat that can jump massive leaps allowing it to fly across the battlefield and even jump across a castle wall in three bounds. The leaping cavalry has the allowed the state to defeat much larger invading forces.
