The Ghobi Wastes

Technically a land of seventeen nomadic principates, the Ghobi Wastes are most famously home to the Giants of the Ghobi, and to the White Path, the main route of commerce between the Eastern Kingdoms and the Imperial Realm.

Government
The vast expanse of the Ghobi Wastes is ruled by seventeen nomadic princes, each of whom leads up to twenty tribes, and whose territory constantly shifts. The constant changing of boundaries, of course, creates a lot of tension, and often the Wastes aren't safe for travelers.

The Gedal
While major disputes are, of course, settled by war, minor disputes are brought before the Gedal, which meets several times a year. The Gedal

The White Path
The only sure way of travel through the Ghobi Wastes, the White path was built in the 4th Century, and though it is not unknown to be beset by bandits, the Gedal forbids harm to come to travelers there.
