**Khirntozgon**, also known as **The Little Brother**, is a small city located in the Kodvazar region of the Lake Federation. It is known for its horses, livestock, leather, and milk industries. As well as their involvement in leading the lesser cities of the Guvkeshevdel on several occasions, resulting in its nickname.

## History

It was founded in 669 BA as a village of shepherds. The city's primary exports are livestock, horses, and leather. The early village of Khirntozgon was blessed with a peaceful environment that nurtured a sense of calm and tranquility within their lands, standing in sharp contrast to the bustling cities that surrounded them. For centuries, Khirntozgon maintained a trustworthy and honorable relationship with its allies, the Guvkeshevdel. Over time, they had found valuable contacts to send their herds to, including Haraigizenhi Bulrek, who was eager for their mare's milk to ferment into Haraig.

Today, Khirntozgon is interspersed with open parks and stables. It remains a small city compared to others in the Lake Federation, but it is an important part of the federation's economy. The city's location makes it a hub for livestock and horse-trading, and its leather industry is also thriving. The bureaucrats of Khirntozgon have taken great care to ensure that the city's economy remains sustainable, balancing the needs of the herds with the needs of the people.

## Economy and Industry

Khirntozgon's rise to prominence began with the founding of Haraigizenhi Bulrek, a nearby city of brewers. The city's creation represented a new market and use for Khirntozgon's cattle and horses, and the two cities flourished together.

Although Khirntozgon is one of the largest cities in its vicinity, it has never been a significant power. However, it has been a part of every incarnation of Ghuvgeshevdel as the leader of the lesser cities of the alliance, earning the city its nickname, "The Little Brother."

The bureaucrats of Khirntozgon are also famously loyal to their fellow Khirntozgoni and are said to be impossible to corrupt. This is usually attributed to the fact that they “have been raised amongst herds of cattle and equines.”

## Navy and Military

Khirntozgon's navy is relatively small but efficient, patrolling the nearby lakes and rivers to ensure that the city's goods and people are safe from harm. The city's militiamen have a reputation for being fierce and loyal defenders of their home, and they are frequently called upon to assist neighboring cities in times of crisis.

Originally founded as a response to cattle and horse thieves. This resulted in most of the militia being directly tied to their homelands, often defending their own ranches or farmsteads, making them highly motivated.

The revered Khirntozgonori horse was also bred and raised in such large numbers that their militia was said to be able to use them as pack horses, allowing them to march faster than any other infantry force in the lakes.

The generals of Khirntozgon are also highly skilled at organizing their troops to march, often jokingly concluding that “herding humans was quite similar to herding cattle.”
