Introduction To Khathix
Khathix is a barren wasteland of rocks and dirt on the surface, but beneath it lies a thriving world known as "Kha'Dun", a series of tunnels that weave throughout the island, leading to cities, towns, and the capital's heart. The capital of Kha'Dun is home to the "Falls of Kha'Dun", an underground waterfall where the water is filtered through the landscape and can be drunk straight from the falls. Kha'Dun is nourished with spectral light, which comes from the remains of the earthen light drake Nestra. This light gives light to the capital and fragments have been taken to provide the same light to towns and cities throughout Khathix.
Kha'Thix is home to many subterranean creatures that have all adapted to the light of Nestra, including plants that are bountiful and produce crops far more regularly than others in the world. It is whispered that digging deeper beneath the earth and far below the blackened belt is the home of the "Shadows", mysterious monsters of unspeakable horror. However, these stories are just tales told to scare young Braxic children.
Khathix Lore
One of the most prized possessions in Khathix is the "Lippen Orchid", a medicinal plant that has the ability to heal virtually any wound, bone, or disease. However, this orchid is extremely rare and only blossoms once a year, never growing in the same place twice.
Another inhabitant of Kha'Thix are the Cellidons, a race of giant lizards that inhabit the tunnels, picking off lone animals and digesting them for over a year within their stomachs.
