Ket is the easternmost Baklunish state and a trading center between the central Flanaess and the Bakluni lands to the west. Its people are predominantly Baklunish, but there is a racial mix; trade brings exchange and intermingling of peoples, after all.

Zoltan's court is an odd mix of eastern and western influences; while the Baklunish goddesses Istus and Xan Yae are widely revered, the manner of their reverencing is distinctly western, for example.

Ketite raiding parties have been known to make forays into other Baklunish lands, but Ket has always feared the might of Keoland in particular, and with good cause. Its alliance with Iuz served the twin purpose of establishing Bissel as a buffer and controlling the vital trade route through the Bramblewood Pass. Ket is not a fertile land, with better pasturage than wheatland, but its reserves of copper and gold from the southern Yatils are good, and it is a prosperous land. Ket's rulers smilingly dismiss any notion of further territorial ambitions, and they may be telling the truth, though the Velunese would say otherwise.
