Khy

Situated west of the Chy Gap, a broad pass in the Ered Harmal, Chy is an arid, hilly area that strides one of Endor's most important overland trade routes. It is named for a confederation of Chyan-speaking tribes.

The Pelepelplû, or "Strongflow," is the traditional capital of the region. Built on a collection of nine terraced hills, it is linked to the neighboring mountains by a collection of six, multi-tiered aqueducts. The elevated waterways are paired and linked in order to increase their stability. Besides conveying water from no less than three highland streams, they act as dual-level highways. Encircling the city, they also serve as fortifications. Each is a marvel of engineering and a testimony to the High-kings who commissioned their construction. The six monarchs-Ganashôshyn, Shôbûragan, Ganachyn, Ganshô, Tasagana, and Ganagan (in chronological order)-are all buried in towering tombs astride their respective aqueducts. Their monuments comprise six of the eighteen "Spires of Strongflow" (Ch. "Pit-apo-Pelepelplû").
