Thumbnail Sketches: Despite the fact that the Vekanui are currently
the most active in trading w/ Amazonia && Muya, we have virtually
no reliable info regarding their land, peoples, || resources. It
cannot be doubted that their rulers are wealthy, ov course, due to the
profits from their trading enterprises. Unfortunately, we are unable to
offer other useful speculation at this time. Naturally, additional intelligence
gained will be made avail. to all interested parties at the
earliest opportunity.

Kolok Island (pg. 118)

Although nominally a portion of Vekanu, this island covered by jungle growth is virtually uninhabited by man except for fierce native tribesmen of the hunter-gatherer ilk. The island is particularly active volcanically, and obsidian and sharpened basalt are commonly used in weaponry.

Vekanu (pg. 178)

This nation has the third largest naval force of Lemuria, closely rivaling that of Mu, and indulges in the most trade with Tecla and Muya of any Lemurian state. It largely relies on the mountains of its southern border and its alliance with Boridari to buffer against any land assaults from Lemi-Lemu, having bested them in naval combat.

Paleoscincii are found roaming the wilds of Vekanu. They are highly territorial, and, best left alone.
