'''Pahn Kahl''' is a small territory underneath the control of [[Hallandren]] on [[Nalthis]].{{book ref|wb|55}} The Pahn Kahl form a distinct but often overlooked group within Hallandren with a separate culture and religion from the dominant people.{{book ref|wb|15}} They were formerly an independent country, but were absorbed into Hallandren after their defeat in the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|57}} Three centuries later, many of the Pahn Kahl still longed for independence from Hallandren.{{book ref|wb|54}}
== Geography ==
{{for|Nalthis}}
 
Pahn Kahl is located on the shores of the [[Bright Sea]], an enclosed ocean within the continent.{{book ref|wb|32}} Originally, only the Pahn Kahl inhabited the valley between two mountain ranges. The land has a perpetually warm climate, and is dominated by tropical jungles and sandy beaches. Delicious fruit grew plentifully, as well as the [[Tears of Edgli]], a flower that can be used to create brilliant dyes. Gradually, other peoples came to the area and founded a second kingdom, gradually restricting Pahn Kahl's territory and autonomy. By the year 321,{{file ref|T-Telir.png|Map of T'Telir}} all that remained of Pahn Kahl's territory is a small province in the south of [[Hallandren]].{{book ref|warbreaker|55}}
