The Khitan Khanate is a large grassland in Northern Maar Sul. It is the home of the nomadic Khitans and their Khan. A delegation from the Grand Alliance approached the Khitans during the Great War to make them join the Alliance, and the Khitans accepted the offer once the Alliance had beaten back Glaurung Losstarot and her mercenary group Fang who nevertheless managed to slay Qishou Khan in the skirmish in 1003 AE.
