Khitan

The Khitans are yellow-skinned and dark-haired and have what to Westerners is a quite unsettling, almost alien look. The game statistics given here reflect the Khitans who are most commonly encountered and spoken of in the Hyborian kingdoms, as these almost always seem to be sorcerers. It might be presumed that the majority of ordinary Khitans never leave their home jungles; few Hyborians travel far enough to know for sure.
Culture: Khitai in the Far East is little known to the Hyborians. Khitan caravans trade jade, cloth-of-gold and silk with Turan and lotus blossoms with Stygia. These caravans and a few exiled Khitans are Khitai’s only contact with the West. The culture is essentially Chinese-like, with a powerful god-emperor in Paikang, a mighty city whose minarets rise amid the vine-festooned jungles of bamboo. The Khitans often appear mysterious and secretive to Hyborian eyes. They are also renowned as wizards, with some boasting that the Eastern wizards are greater than the Western ones.
Religion: Some Khitans worshipped the elephant god Yagkosha for a while but worship a wide range of jungle animal gods as well. Yun also receives worship from haven-headed priests in the lost jungles of Khitai, perhaps through the ritual ringing of golden chimes; certainly some special ceremony requires such bells. There is an obscure hint that the Zamorian spider-cult might have originated in Khitai.
Names: Chinese-style names are best for Khitans. Suggestions: (male) Huan, Kun, Li, Rong, Wei, Wu; (female) Chan, Chang, Fang, Feng, Jia, Lei, Shan, Zhi.
