Middle Khemit

Khemit, Middle The area known as Middle Khemit (or the Middle Kingdom) is considered to lie approximately from the Bakhari River in the north to just north of the city of Elephantine, or about even with the southern end of the Ruby Hills. It is not as densely populated as the land farther north, but it contains several important cities, including the royal capital. It is also a crucial farming area. The region is governed by a vizier who is a member of pharaoh’s high council and is expected to manage the territory as its ruler, doing so in pharaoh’s name. During the centuries of Hyperborean ascendancy, military units and traders from that empire left their influence on Middle Khemit, though it is less strong than in the northern part of the country. Much of the underground wealth of the country — especially gold and semiprecious gems — can be found (with some difficulty) in the Eastern Desert of Middle Khemit.
