Kes Joshawk

The people of Kes Joshawk pursue an ideal called krítath, which is sometimes translated as self-perfection or self-realization; the nature of krítath can vary among the different regions of the large country. In some remote parts of Kes Joshawk, krítath is a quiet notion of finding inner peace and calm, no longer being bothered by the temporary worries of life or stressing about the future; in competitive cities, it tends to focus more on finding one's "calling" in life and making a mastery of a career. And even still, there are some practicers of morgunngur who isolate themselves in the frigid wastes of the country, seeking to achieve krítath by overcoming physical limits and becoming paragons of their disciplined martial art.
Large expanses of Kes Joshawk were lost to the Godbomb; when winters grew more frigid and snowstorms all the more harsh, the survivors of the Godbomb by and large tried to migrate to more hospitable regions and abandoned their destroyed homes. As a result, the country has many more old cities than its neighbors. Spelunkers, archaeologists, historians, explorers, and salvagers may try to brave the snowy lands in search of old treasure; for the most part, natives view this as contrary to krítath. The abandoned portions of Kes Joshawk are at peace where they are, and disturbing them only disrupts the inner peace of the country.
