Kingdom of the Delta (Mundus Novus Map Game)

The Kingdom of the Delta, also known as Xacapáy in the native Kwikapa language, or simply The Delta, is a nation located along the mouth of the ʼHakhwata River (Colorado River), at the southern end of the Ngáchishtemal region. Founded around the year 1380, the kingdom is centered around the city of Shuhthagi Ki:him, which despite being newer than most of its contemporaries, is considered one of the largest cities of the Southwest.

Initially founded by the Patayan people, who also controlled the Patayan Confederacy to the north of the nation, the Kingdom of the Delta formed as a combination of Patayan, Hohokam, Mogollon, and other influences, which contributed to its unique form of language and culture. Due to its prominent location in the middle of the Ngáchishtemal trade routes, as well as being a stop along one of the region's major rivers, the nation quickly grew to become one of the richest kingdoms of the region. After relatively little direct expansion during its first two centuries of existence, in the sixteenth century the nation became increasingly involved in the Pál Wars, which saw the nation annex Tongva and expand south to the southern peninsula (Baja California).
