The Hemesh peninsula is a large peninsula in Ekuosia (in northern Baredina).

History
The peninsula was united by the Terminian Empire in 1322 CE, which gave way to the peninsula becoming its own empire after Terminia's decline in the mid-1400s. A rocky history with Kauzia developed during the era of the Kauzic Empire, in which part of the peninsula was conquered by General Sao in 1484, and amidst the chaos Emperor Sayasho was killed in battle. Without his uniting force, the rest of the peninsula plunged into civil war that spanned decades. In 1506, Sayasho's grandson Adoz reunited the warring states, then attempted to exact revenge on Kauzia; a grave mistake.
Kauzia bit back by having Sao's territory assimilated to Kauzic culture, which inadvertently led to the gradual collapse of the Kauzic Empire as its vassal realms either defected or fell to rebels due to being weakened. After Kauzia's collapse in 1524, the territory of Saovia nominally served the ruler in Iru. Hemesh's attempts to reintegrate Saovia were mostly ineffective, not helped by the scheming Algazi League beginning to gain power in the region. Eventually Saovia was reincorporated, but not without flaw.
Since then the peninsula remained politically stable only through relentless compromise with the factions that made up most of the ruling elite, and as a result the Hemesh Empire was never a particularly strong force, which led to its ultimate downfall in the mid-20th century when the peninsula slowly but surely divided into eight independent polities.
