Nashugant was an independent duchy located on the Bays of Khoren in eastern Lamadien. It was somehow able to keep some measure of it's indigenous eastern Lamadien character in the face of multiple waves of Thissalan conquerors. The small nation's most fertile lands were located uncomfortably between Millisymph and Gorunden. The duchy's main port and capital city, also named Nashugant, is located away through the main trade routes through the bays, and is generally visited by small coasters and galleys that will not risk the day or two trip from Cathros to Skartez or back. As a result, the duchy appeared to be quite destitute, even including many of the nobility. Still the residents of the duchy kept their needs simple and most would say they were satisfied. Nashugant's borders were guaranteed by mutual agreement between Millisymph and Gorunden, neither of whom would have preferred the territory to fall to the other.
Nashugant ran on a totally different code of customs from other lands. Some of Nashugant's customs regarding sex and clothing shocked outsiders unaccustomed to their ways, yet seemingly innocent behavior from visitors had resulted in heavy censure and punishment. This led to the development of foreign enclaves in some of Nashugant's settlements.
