Geography
The A Kham is the largest of the plains of the Nou Bradh. Cliffs hem in the west and south sides, dropping abruptly into the jungle forest beyond them. To the North and East are the rivers Bevslob and Balslob, respectively. To the North-East, capping that edge is the central forest of the Vanå.
The plain itself is often broken into manageable regions; five regions based on wind- and water-flows. In an irregular near triangle on the northern side of the A Kham is the Floodlands. It regularly floods from the Bevslob, and the grasses grow thin, as loamy soil is seasonally flooded into the lands. The lands near the cliffs are called Cliffsedge and slope gradually downward towards the center of the A Kham. In a large area that runs from the Floodlands to the edge of Cliffsedge is Hillside. With Hillside on its Northern edge and Cliffside to its right, Mounding is the central area, and is a large low hill in an irregular diamond shape that never floods even during the rainy season. On the eastern side of Mounding all the way to the Balslob is what was once called the Flatlands but is now widely called the Ranchlands.
