Keä-Sonda

The "Land of the Setting Sun" or the Sun Lands. Kingdom, later theocracy in southwestern Bandagora circa -180 to 294. Trovian was capital from -174. Keä-Sonda was founded as a kingdom around 180 years before the common calendar by Hinu. Inanna was always the dominant deity, and the influence of Her priesthood increased gradually, so that by  40 the king was elected by the priesthood. A coup d'etat in 294 instated a hereditary empire, the Pellan Empire, but the Inanna priesthood continued to be influential. Keä-Sonda was one of Bandagora's major powers around the year 0, and had founded many colonies. The nation strove to rid the Ragged Mountains of orcs (See the Orc Wars), it colonized Osbane (See the Osbantine Wars), it founded Crimloyd, Pavian and probably Rovian. Cf. the New Sun Lands.
