History
Vendhya lies on the coasts of the Southern Ocean, an ancient kingdom with a tropical climate. Its reputation among foreigners rests on the fabled wealth of its royalty, on the fierce Vendhyan tigers, and for its tradeable items.[1] Vendhya trades in gold, gemstones, exotic fruit and flowers, silks, spices, drugs, perfumes, and cosmetics.[1]
The city of Ayodhya serves as the seat of power for the reigning dynasty. Both men and women are eligible for the throne, and several Devis (Queens) have risen to the throne. Royal power actually rests on the continued loyalty of a warrior nobility, the Kshatriya. [1] The main religion is worship of Asura, and its priests swear loyalty to the throne. [1]
The land way towards Hyrkania passes through the Himelian Mountains, which are only partly controlled by Vendhya. To the east lies the independed kingdom of Kambuja and its capital Angkjor. Also nearby is another independed kingdom, the mysterious Uttara Kuru. To the west of Vendhya is another rival, Kosala. So far the Vendhyan royalty merely dreams of expanding towards these lands. [1]Notes
Robert E. Howard comceived Vendhya as the Hyborian equivalent to India.
