History
Originally established in 15.30 PSSC as a province of the Kingdom of Toketi, Chelkran Kesh is a mystical land, still lightly imbued with the magical energies of its founders. Indeed, it is also a land which has had a tremendous impact on the development of Pallisican culture. With a common cultural heritage which dates back to the late 16th era, when Passas and Chelkran Kesh were unified into a single state under the rule of the Confederacy of Gralus, the Pallisican and Chelkran peoples have long considered themselves friends, and informal allies. This relationship was formalized in the 32nd era, when the city of Chelkra was annexed by the Greater Pallisican Trade Association.
Chelkran Kesh served as the central headquarters of the New Zimian Temple Authority until the early 41.20s PSSC, when the institution was relocated to the Saint Andre Islands, in Apollonia. The decision to relocate the Temple Authority came in response to a protracted rebellion in Chelkran Kesh, in which prominent local monastic leaders and their followers openly opposed the authority of the Crown of Passio-Corum. The Temple Authority headquarters was relocated back to Chelkran Kesh in 42.73 PSSC, after the Bassarid government suspended its claims to the Saint Andre Islands.
