Khul was originally the name given by the inhabitants of Irritaria to that land mass which was adjoined to southeast Irritaria by a land bridge. Upon this land were a number of nations including Kelios. After the splitting of the continents, this land mass was largely destroyed, its remnants being the Isles of the Dawn. The inhabitants of the southern portion of Irritaria named their new continent Khul, believing that it was they whose land now sat where Ancient Khul once had, apart from the other lands to the north. Thus we refer what was originally called Khul as Ancient Khul.
