-The '''Sheikdom of Hadramaut''' comprises a host of independent sultanates and tribal states within the Imamate of [[Zaida, Imamate of|Zaida]].  These act in concert, with no single ruler, yet they've often shown themselves to vigorous in the defense of their lands.  The greater part of Hadramaut is made up of desert and barren mountains intersected by wadis, some of which are fertile.  Small-scale encampments for caravans act as independent fortified water holes; trade is carried out overland with [[Sheba, Sheikdom of|Sheba]] to the west and Oman to the east, or through the ports on the gulf of [[Berbera (gulf)|Berbera]].  Population (c.1650), 45,911.
