Khitai was a mysterious kingdom, or collection of warring city-states, far to the east.

Both O'Connor and Stelzer agree that the culture is Han Chinese and so I have adapted the Han list for that of Khitai.

Khitai banners were predominantly red or yellow with the pictograph of the army or city-state in black.

Khitai was allied with the Eastern Free Companies and other Khitai states.
