Geshân

Once the center of a wealthy kingdom, Geshân (arch."Kesâr", later: "Gesá", "Esá") suffered by far the worst of the lands of the Mûmakan when the earth shook with the fall Númenor. The level of the land sank and water collected there, but not into a lake, as it might. Instead, a swamp formed: an unclean place of rotting trees and creatures of darkness. The Kôros river and the areas just flanking it were suitable for travelers, for it was a swift current and permitted no collection of foul refuse; but further in, where the land was uneven and pools and mires collected, all manner of things grew. Within lay the ruins of the city of Gaven and somewhere, the forgotten complex of Ty-Ar-Rana.

Notes[]

Original form in MERP: Geshaan

Though memories of names of the same root "Kesár", "Kesâr", "Keshâran", "Geshân", "Gesá", "Esá" persisted in various form these were not necessarily always exactly the same entity or even terrain, the original term referred to a tribal confederacy, later a kind of city-state with adjacent villages, a kingdom and finally a wilderness and swampy region.
