Herdek (Herdwate: Hêrdek, /ˈhɛɾdək/), known also as Harzendek (Herdwate: Harzêndek, /haɾ't͡sendək/), officially the Kingdom of Herdek (Herdwate: Hêrdkid Hêmme, /ˈhɛɾk:id 'hɛm:ə/), is a country located in western Miraria, on the shore of the Sea of Alpa. Its neighbors is Qgam to the north.

Etymology

The name Hêrdek comes from the Proto-Methic words hərtə, Land and təndə, Moose. Subsequently Hêrdek literally means Land of Moose. Several hypotheses have been made about the origin of the toponym. The most commonly accepted one is that the first steady inhabitants of the territory founded the first city of the modern country, probably in the south-central part of the modern Chatek, in a place with a very dense population of moose. Another theory affirms that moose were very important for Herdekians until Industrial Revolution, since they were an efficient mean of transport, that allowed goods and passengers to be transported to other cities, and were also a good source of food. Nowadays moose still have a great importance in Herdekian culture.
