The Khanate of Karalakh is a county-sized subdivision in Benacia. Part of the Federation of Musica, the Khanate was established in 4831 ASC from the western half of Crestfall Downs and parts of the neighbouring counties of Lywind and Shimmerspring.
Etymology
The term Karalakhi (Karalakhi: Karalaxi, Laqi: Kara-Laҳi; literally "Black Laqi") first appeared in 4830 ASC to describe the Laqi-speaking inhabitants of Crestfall Downs, Lywind and Shimmerspring who pledged allegiance to the lich Marie Dolores von Rossheim-Maltenstein. In local tradition, black denotes the north, so the name may be translated as "Northern Laqi"; others, however, have claimed that the colour refers to the taint of undeath.
