Cairhein is one of the Nations of the New Era, southeast of Tar Valon and situated between the River Alguenya and the Spine of the World (Dragonwall). Cairhein's capital is the city of Cairhein, which is a major port on the Alquenya, which flows south to Aringill and then to Tear and the Aryth Ocean. Its strategic position as the gateway to the Aiel Waste via the Jangai Pass and as a major factor in river trade with Tear has allowed it to flourish and Cairhein to be a moderately rich nation. That position has also worked against Cairhien, as the Aiel have invaded it twice, doing great damage to the capital city and surrounding areas.
Cairhein maintains peace with Andor, the major kingdom to its west and trades extensively with both Andor and Tear, to its south.
