↳ Al’Amain is a south-eastern kingdom with the strongest naval force in the country of Khaldun, and was established shortly after Mourra’s founding, making it the second oldest of the Three Kingdoms. It is known primarily for its exceptional oud, ships, and timber due to its proximity to the Khadra Wood, for it alone has trade agreements with the Xyl, who call the Khadra Wood their home and who are the only people that can safely harvest from the Wood.
Al’Amain is also known for its pearls and glass beads. In general, it is an incredibly wealthy kingdom, with an established naval trade with Ubar and Sinia (two lands of the far East).
Al'Amaini fashion tends to be flowy, multilayered, heavily beaded, and very colourful. They tend to wear long tunics paired with wide-legged trousers and elaborate turbans, regardless of gender. Al'Amaini's do not generally practice polygyny, unlike Mourrans and Numanis.
Al’Amain and Mourra have long been sister-kingdoms and close allies. It is Sirin’s birthplace, and she and Haitham (the king of Mourra) were betrothed at birth. At a young age, Sirin was brought from Al’Amain to live in Mourra and learn all she needed to be queen.
Al’Amain is ruled by Sirin’s grandmother Bilqis with her king-consort Salahadin, himself a Mourran and Haitham’s grand-uncle. Al’Amain’s rulership is through matrilineal primogeniture.
