Archduchy of Kesta

Description
The Archduchy of Kesta is in the middle of Druthal (yellow on this page's map). It is landlocked, and sort of heart-shaped. It is bordered by Sauriya to the west, Maradaine to the north, Oblune to the northeast, Monim to the east, and Yinara to the southwest. As is the case in much of Druthal, rivers form most of the boundaries between these Archduchies. There are large lakes approximately in the middle of the Yinaran and Monim borders.

Kesta is the breadbasket of Druthal. With exceptions of the salt flats to the east, almost the entire archduchy is fertile flatlands used for growing crops or ranching. Wheat, oats, and other crops are produced.

It is ruled by Duchess Erisia Leighton.

Culture
Kestians are typically warm, friendly, and intensely proud of being from Kesta.
