Khazari

Khazari was a country of Taan.

History
The Tuigan Horde under Yamun Khahan conquered Khazari. The lama Koja of Khazari served as Yamun's emissary, advisor, and historian. There, he advised that Jadaran, Yamun's son, be appointed governor of Alashan.

Places
The cities of Khazari were ordered and tidy; the city of Procampur in the Vast in Faerûn reminded Koja of Khazari of home.

There were a number of isolated monasteries in which lamas sought enlightenment. One was the Red Mountain Temple. They followed the Path of Enlightenment and Furo, with the Yanitsava as a holy book. The lamas continuously chanted sutras, banged cymbals, and turned prayer wheels, in an effort to maintain order in the cosmos.

Culture
The people of Khazari ate simply, dining on rice, tsampo porridge, yak butter and butter tea, and kumiss.

Environment
The landscape of Khazari was bleak and mountainous, with granite-spired mountains crusted with glaciers.

It snowed in winter but was generally dry and cold.
