The landscapes of Kemet are home to an array of societal structures, each born from its own struggle against the frontier. Travelers frequently recall the sprawling coastal states built on the wealth of maritime trade, the ancient empires fiercely guarding their ancestral bloodlines, or the desperate, independent coalitions scraping by on the edges of the wild.
