Kizan (Kizan: Kiḍan [kiðã]), officially the Holy and Sovereign Kingdom of Kizan, is a country located in northeastern Vaniu. It is bordered by Ayozia to the south.
Etymology
The name "Kizan" comes from the late Kalkali words kiḍan meaning "cold land," referring to the arid desert climate of much of the country.
History
The territory of Kizan was originally inhabited by proto-Eastern Vaniuans and later by early Kalkalic tribes.
