Mes Keidana

Mes Keidana is a country in the southern part of Irgaedera. It is hilly, and mostly covered in cold desert, with thin forestation farther north and inland.

Mes Keidana's name is a corruption of Hies Loricoda Meghis Ceidana, Ceida's Land, named after the Goddess of Thunder who is their patron deity. Hies Keidana, the language of Mes Keidana, shows its roots in Hies Loricoda far more prominently than most other languages, due in part to the intense presence of the patron deity and the religion.

History
Mes Keidana was originally part of the Kedaki tribe's lands, on the edge of the great Orbon. As the Kedaki territory began to fall apart with the secession of Anikora and Kena, the seat of the Elotalin Ceidana moved farther and farther southward until it contracted into the nation of Irkedaki, which was all that was left of the original Kedaki Territory.

At the Opening of Gates, Ceida began to more strongly assert her possession of Irkedaki, which was then renamed to Meghis Ceidana, a name which became Mes Keidana as the Kedaki language, Hies Keidana, began to define itself.
