	A peninsula on the southeasternmost part of the Na'Nam Continent, Khomi province shares a border with [[Kir]] and [[Shi'Al]] to the north and [[Gol]] to the west. Except for the [[Llangon Mountains]], the savannah-like plains to the west and a small fertile strip along the coast, Khomi primarily consists of flat and barren hardpan; cracked and canyoned by regular tectonic activity. The region's wealth consists almost exclusively in its large mineral deposits and the trade conducted by its few coastal cities. However, one should also note that the wines produced in the hills near Te’Rashar are prized for their unique flavors and exquisite quality and the city's university is second only to the great learning centers of [[Shi'Kahr]].

	Having determined that the rich province to the North could not be conquered by military might alone - or only at devastating cost - T'Velah hatched the plan to take the Kir matriarch's daughter and heir hostage. While certainly in keeping with the ancient Vulcan tradition of hostage-fostering, this deliberate gambit was intended to produce an heir who would be raised by T'Velah and as such answerable to her, while lending legitimacy to her claim to [[Kir]].

	The Tinsha Monastery was founded in the [[Llangon Mountains]] in Khomi near the end of Surak’s life by the followers of Hakihr. Their work and research in biofeedback training centers around one of Surak’s most famous sayings: "The mind controls the body; control the mind and the body will follow."

	Due to its wealth in ores and minerals on a planet where weapons were always in demand and supplies short, Khomi province has for millennia been saved from extensive warfare only due to its unique geological position. Protected by mountains to the north and west and a jagged coast most everywhere else, the ruling clans held the peninsula unchallenged until roughly the 37th century of the Vulcan calendar (4700 BCE by terran standard).

	Cut off from much of the coast, and more importantly several crucial mining towns like Dahhana’Kahr, T'Velah attempted another gambit by inviting her warlord to negotiations. With the promise of a favorable marital alliance and further holdings, the matriarch may have hoped to sway her rebellious general, however the meeting went awry and the warlord was killed by T'Velah's guard.

The resident healers study ways of treating the rare Bendii Syndrome, and give those elderly Vulcans who suffer from it a place to live, and eventually die, with dignity.

	Initially the larger medical community on [[Vulcan]] resisted the idea of requiring an entire research center devoted to a relatively rare ailment, though one may argue said reluctance had to do with the stigma attached to Bendii Syndrome. In no small part due to the insistence of lady Perrin and tacit support from the clan's matriarch, Te'Rashar University sponsored a public debate on the matter and eventually came to fund much of Ku'vel'di center which remains under its aegis.
