Kakland
Ahia
After traveling through Juxland and the Kingdom of Kysxka, Pitmiy sailed to Ahia for the next part of his journey. He arrived to the city of Dura in March of 1275. Not much else was recorded during his time in Ahia as he had previously visited with his father. He would visit the cities of Vetter and Kilisa before sailing to Khirmania.
Khirmania
Pitmiy arrived in Khirmania in August of 1275 after a five month journey by boat from Ahia, arriving in the city of Baluang. Once arriving, he wrote in his journal:
Upon arrival to the lands of Khirmani peoples, I discover that it is a culture built around farming settlements, an agriculture society. I saw this throughout my journey in Khirmania.
After leaving Baluang, Pitmiy went to the cities of Khajalaya and Mukarda, finally leaving to the city of Isang, staying for five days. He left for Salamat in September.
Salamat
After leaving Isang, Pitmiy went west into what is now Salamat, to the city of Dar Al Janub, staying for three nights. Then after taking a day's journey to the Arabic Caliphate's capital Dar Al Hamma, where he met the Caliphate. From there he described in his journal:
After I met with the Caliphate, I wondered around the city of Dar Al Hamma, for which I am told means "Great House", referring to the city housing their great Caliphate. As I look around at the city markets, I see men wearing long gowns of single color, and the women wearing colorful dress. In the stalls they contain an assortment of foodstuffs, tools, and fabrics, locally made and some from foreign nations.
After visiting Dar Al Hamma, Pitmiy sailed to the Island of Ankur from Hani, to the Ankur Caliphate and the city of Hayyum. Pitmiy noted that the locals were less kind to him, referring to the Salamat Crusades decades prior. He left the city the same day, heading to the city of Ghafun. There he stayed the night, traveling northwest to Yryel.
