Alright. I’ve thought about it a couple of times before posting. But I’m gonna ask regardless. What or who is ‘Khanates’?

Its a DS 4e term for the Kreen Empire.

Thanks. I was puzzled with this word. I must have missed this in the 4e material but there it is.

“The endless grasslands ofthe Crimson Savanna are home to the Kreen Khanates, sometimes referred to as the “Kreen Empire” by the soft-skinned races of the Tyr Region. To call the thri kreen civilization an empire is to invest it with far more centralization than it actually has. Each khanate is a nomadic horde that roams within a vast territory, fiercely guarding its borders from raids or invasions by other thri-kreen khans.”

The khan terminology was never used in 2e or 3e.

Fortunately, according to the Athasian Cartographers Guild map, there is a limit even to that section of the map. Eventually you hit other features.
