The Yajawil of Xukaj is one of the two southernmost provinces of the Mutul. Centered around the lower beds of the Kuwajuwa and Chetzaj rivers, its capital Puylum is located at the mouth of the former on the Kayamuca Sea' coast. It shares a land border with the kingdom of Orun Redisus to the east as well as with the other Mutuleses provinces of Nolkaj to the south-east, Yajumel to the south-west, and Jachi to the west.
The original inhabitants of the Province were speakers of various Chibchan languages of which Dule and U'wa peoples are modern representatives. The region is known as an important agricultural and industrial center for the Divine Kingdom with strong commercial relations with its neighbor, other countries in the Kayamuca Sea, and Sante Reze.
It is a very ethnically diverse region where the dominant Ch'olti culture only arrived during the 14th century and wouldn't become the norm until the 1800s. This leave the region as home to different White Path denomination and temples, many of which find their roots in the antique Chibchas religious practices which put the emphasis on the Voice, generally through religious songs and oral traditions.
