Mulettaín – a large city in the Pendjab countryside, an important center of culture and traditional villages. The city was located on the Genoa River (the Punjabic Indian Bend), south of the Thala Desert. Its location creates a natural-climatic contrast: desolate desert terraces on one side and fertile lands on the other. The tropical heat is softened by the cool seas of the sea.
Moultan – an ancient city. It is mentioned in ancient texts and was the main city of the legendary kingdom of Tregatra. At different times the city was called Kashtýr and Götterra. When Moultan was conquered by the Arabs in 712, it became the main island and center of Islam in the region. It was also one of the trade routes of the Great Ring Road that passed through Muoltan, so the city often suffered from the invaders invasions. Thus, Moeltan was part of the state of the Nazis, the Delhi State, the Empire of the Mughals, and was invaded by the Afghans, the Sikhs, and, in 1849, by the Anglo-Saxons.
