This place is known by the people of Khur as the “Valley of the Blue Sands” because of the bright blue-green color of its soil, which also seems to absorb sound.

The legends of the elves claim that this was the first place on Krynn where the gods set foot in corporeal form, henceforth serving as a kind of neutral ground. Inath-Wakenti meaning “Vale of Silence” is the elvish name for a horseshoe-shaped valley near where the desert of Khur meets the Khalkist Mountains. Ultimately Sahim-Khan forged a long lasting treaty with the elves, who took up residence in the vale of Inath-Wakenti. The nomad army was put down by the forces of the Khan and even with the treachery of the Khan’s first son, Shobbat, the Khan strengthened his rule of the nation. In 426 AC, the continued influx of elven refugees into the capital of Khuri-Khan caused the Weya-Lu Tribe to rise up in arms against the elves and the Khan of Khur, Sahim-Khan. They are independent of the Dark Knights, but Neraka was attempting to annex them into their realm through the Dark Knights. The Khur tribe then allied with Neraka, looking to take over the other tribes of Khur. Also during the War of Souls, Khur was used as a military outpost when Takhisis was trying to return to Krynn. She was later killed during the War of Souls in 421 AC, and Khur found its freedom. After the War of the Lance, the Green Dragonarmy was no longer in Khur.ĭuring the Chaos War, several fire dragons from the Lords of Doom ran rampant through Khur, destroying everything in their path.įollowing the Chaos War in 386 AC, Malystryx attacked and took over Khur. They began seizing the cities and water sources until a Khurish warrior named Salah-Khan became the next head of the Green Dragonarmy. Over time this area has bred hardy warriors from the desert.ĭuring the War of the Lance, the Green Dragonarmy was invited into Khur for their war on Ansalon. He had seven sons who, after his death, vied for power and ended up splitting the nation into seven different tribes. A leader by the name of Keja united all the tribes together into one nation. Khur came into being after the Cataclysm struck Krynn.

Races are held between the tribes to prove which breeds the best and wagers are placed on the outcomes. The people of Khur love their horses, and are known for breeding the best in all of Ansalon.
