'''Alm''' is a kingdom in southwestern [[Roshar]] that is a member nation of the [[Azir#Politics|Azish Empire]].{{map ref|Roshar}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}
+
'''Alm''' was a kingdom in south-western [[Roshar]]. It bordered [[Shinovar]], [[Yezier]], and [[Liafor]].
   
 
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, it was part of [[Makabakam]].
==Geography==
 
Alm is a small nation bordered by [[Yezier]] and [[Liafor]]. It is also adjacent to [[Shinovar]], although the two nations are separated by the [[Misted Mountains]]. Most of Alm's territory lies between a large river and the mountains. It also has a small coastline on a bay connected to the [[Aimian Sea]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
 
   
Alm has an area around 144,000 km<sup>2</sup>.{{17s ref|blog|634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|date=2018-08-30|name=RosharAreas}}
 
 
==Culture==
 
As a member of the Azish Empire, Alm is self-governing, but recognizes the [[Prime Aqasix]] as their emperor and generally follows Azir's lead in international politics.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|65}}
 
 
Since Alm's population is ethnically Makabaki, its people generally have dark skin and hair,{{book ref|sa1|19}} and the local language is presumably a variant of Azish.{{wob ref|3977}} Alm and the nearby nation of [[Desh]] are considered to be more rural than other Azish nations, and local fashion consists of clothing that is lighter than that of their neighbors.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}
 
 
==History==
 
=== Heraldic Epochs ===
 
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, Alm was part of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
 
 
=== Era of Solitude ===
 
 
During the [[Era of Solitude]], it joined other Makabaki nations to form the Azish Empire.{{book ref|sa3|12}}
 
 
At some point after the [[Recreance]] and the subsequent [[Scouring of Aimia]], Alm experienced an influx of refugees from Aimia, although it is not certain when exactly this occurred and at what rate.{{book ref|sa3.5|9}} It is also unclear how many refugees immigrated to Alm and what impact this might have had on the local culture and population.
 
 
[[Lift]] once visited Alm and enjoyed her time there, since relatively few people attempted to murder her.{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}
 
 
=== The True Desolation ===
 
Due to their location on the western edge of Roshar, [[Steen]] and Alm were the first nations to report the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], which worried [[Ghenna]] and the government of [[Tashikk]].{{book ref|sa2.5|14}}
 
 
Both Alm and Desh had ambassadors in [[Azimir]] when [[Yanagawn]] agreed to visit [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|65}}
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* At around 144,000 km<sup>2</sup>,{{17s ref|blog|634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|date=2018-08-30|name=RosharAreas}} it is comparable in area to [[wikipedia:Tajikistan|Tajikstan]].
