On a small island to the south of Lith, but still technically part of the continent. They are not technologically advanced, and are a bit isolationist since they have seen what’s happened to so many of the forests recently. There is a good monster population, too, which helps add to the paranoia about being open to outsiders. They grow a lot of spices and fruit here and fish. They don’t have much in the way of a written history due to the tropical climate, but, they have a great oral history going on.
History
Early History
A kingdom founded by Asha so she could have a place to return to when she could no longer adventure.
Contemporary History
The most recent queen of Kima gave birth to quadruplets, which caused a bit of confusion in the kingdom. It was decided that all four children would have equal power and be taught how to govern the island and take care of the people. All four princes and princesses have risen to the challenge, though the two princes decided to step forward and break the isolation of the island by taking a ship, some trusted guards and priests, and setting out to try to figure out what's going on with the world. Their goal is to find out how they can help save it, since things seem to be going poorly from the scraps of news they've heard. The two princesses opted to stay behind and keep their people safe while their brothers are off being reckless.

Economy
The economy is very self contained. Kimadam has been isolated from the rest of the world for a long time, so the inhabitants have a strong economy that is limited to their homeland. Their currency is separate from the other two main currencies of the world, gold and aces. They are called 'ahs' and are small crystal disks that are blessed by the temple so that they give off a soft glow. There are three colors that denote different levels of value.
100 Purple Ahs : 10 Pink Ahs : 1 Yellow Ahs
They each have an intricately design in them created by a spell only members of the temple know how to cast. Their conversion rate outside of Kima is another matter.
100 Ace : 100 Copper : 1 Purple Ahs
Government
Kimadam is ruled by a monarchy. The monarchy has a council of advisers who are selected from the communities around the islands.

Fashion
Lots of bright colors and vivid patterns! Everything is very loose fitting and many people don't wear shirts. Batiks are commonly used in clothing and people dress for the weather and for their given professions. All clothes are considered unisex on the island.
Media
Songs, dances, fabric prints, and gossip take the place of things like radio, tv, and newspapers.
Cuisine
Think of South Asian foods and Polynesian dishes.
Education
People tend to receive their general educations from their parents and other adults in their villages. There's a lot of emphasis on letting children come forward and ask questions rather than taking the time to teach kids a set curriculum of information. Parents are expected to make sure their children understand how money works and make sure their kids understand words, but, besides that, there isn't a real centralized educational system.
Usually, kids are mentored by someone in their eventual profession and learn more about the world through these means.
