The Land of Glass and Sorrow

This isn't a country, per-se, it's more like unowned land that technically exists inside of Berkukha. The country is a total wasteland. Black, scorched rocks, sand melted into literal glass, then broken by time. A huge field of empty, silent death where nothing grows, and nothing lives. This was the land once inhabited by the Mikanni.
==The Mikanni==
Not much is known about them. They were said to be an independent people who resented any sort of foreign rule, and they were said to have sorcerers of incredible power, wisdom and skill. The mysteries of their religion and their magic are still a great source of interest — but it is unlikely that there is much left to learn about them that hasn't already been found. Nearly two thousand years ago, the Helian Empire learned something about the Mikanni that upset their Emperor, and without so much as a warning, the Great Island's terrible magics were turned on the unsuspecting Mikanni and the entire kingdom, and everyone inside it, was struck by a bolt of fire and light from the sky the width of its capital city, which moved as quickly as a child might move his finger across a map to obliterate every settlement, township and farmstead in the country. In one night which shone as brightly as day, the country was obliterated. Surviving Mikanni quickly disappeared, hiding away wherever they had been when the calamity struck, or else returning to their desolated homeland to perish among the ruins of what had once been their country.
==Now==
Now the Land of Glass and Sorrow stands as a testament — perhaps THE testament — to the power of the Helian empire at its height. An entire kingdom, an entire people, obliterated like an anthill smothered in molten lead. All that remains now are the spires of burned stone, and the whistling of wind about the blades of glass.
