'''Khuresh''' or the '''Hinterlands of Khuresh''', is the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] version of Vietnam and South East Asia.

It has a few [[High Elf]] outposts there and it is overrun with human-sacrificing snake creatures ruled by "Blood Naga" queens, whose appetites reportedly shame even [[Neferata]]. These creatures are rather mysterious and are either [[Beastmen]] or, more likely, [[Chaos]] mutated [[Lizardmen]] from an abandoned Old One City shown on the map. Snakemen had miniatures back in Third Edition (but with no rules to play) and were even in [[Blood Bowl]], but nowadays the only thing we definitely have in canon that is linked to those serpents is a '''White Sistrum''', a magic rattle-drum that brings madness to any listener.

[[Derp|Interestingly]], the [[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|High Elves 6th & 7th edition army books]] reversed Cathay's and Khuresh's positions, with Cathay being in the south and Khuresh being in the north near the [[Eastern Steppes]].

Known locations of interest include:
* Lost City of the Old Ones - Fuck if we know what's in there, but considering Khuresh's proximity to the [[Chaos Wastes|Southern Chaos Wastes]], it's likely a corrupted temple city.
* Warpstone Deposit - A large deposit of Warpstone, somehere south of the Lost City.
* [[Forest Goblins|Forest Goblin]] Tribes - The northern jungles and forests of Khuresh are infested with a large number of the little bastards, presumably LARPing as vietcong.
* Northern Gate of Calith - The Northern half of the two Gates of Calith, a fortified High Elf outpost built on the southernmost peninsula of Khuresh across from its sister outpost on the northernmost peninsula of the Southern Chaos Wastes. Basically a High Elf analogue to Singapore. It's current status is unknown, as two years before [[Storm of Chaos|one of two]] [[The End Times|great fuck-fucks happened]], a multi-clan [[Skaven]] task force under [[Clan Eshin]] nearly destroyed it, only barely being beaten back by the elves. Later that same year, their Mage Lord Torinubar was assassinated by an Eshin ninja-rat.
