A black kingdom lying east of Keshan and west of Zembabwei.
The River Styx forms the southern and western border of the kingdom. In the mountains to the east of Xuchotl are sources of gold, silver, copper, jade, lapis lazuli, and marble. The gold of Punt is presumed to come out of these hills, washed out of the mother lode into the Styx. The Puntans glean the precious metal from the river by means of close-meshed baskets, also living from hunting and gathering, along with simple subsistence agriculture.
East of its capital city, Kassali, stretches a wide savanna, then forest that encroaches upon the uplands. Slavers from northern nations regularly invade Punt and carry off its people.
