English:Admag · Locations

The capital of the Shek Kingdom, built on a hilltop with a single entrance. Esata rules from here, and the wiki estimates around 95% of all Shek live inside these walls — the town's population is effectively the Kingdom's strength.

Hrmph. Whatever your business here, make it quick, flatskin. — Hundred Guardian

Admag is the capital of the Shek Kingdom and the place where the overwhelming majority of Shek inside their own nation live. The wiki's estimate is blunt: counting the squads tied to this location, roughly 95% of all Shek are here. That single figure defines what Admag is in this game — not one Shek town among several, but very nearly the Kingdom itself.

A hill town with one way in

Admag is a Major Town in the Stenn Desert, built on top of a hill, with only one entrance. The terrain dictates its defensive logic: there is no need to hold multiple approaches, only the one gap.

Its location can be found by travelling there, or revealed on the map by reading the Map of the Shek Kingdom.

Defence comes in two layers:

Town defenceHundred GuardiansInside the town
Outer ringShek WarriorsPatrolling the desert

The Hundred Guardians are the Shek Kingdom's elite and the town's main defence, with the Five Invincibles above them guarding the HQ. For a player, that means Admag is not a place to start a fight — the garrison here is the best the Kingdom can field anywhere.

The throne room: the Faction HQ

Admag is the home of the Shek leader Esata the Stone Golem. She resides in the town's Faction HQ building, accompanied by her advisor Bayan and by Seto. The building itself is guarded by the Kingdom's toughest warriors, The Five Invincibles.

NoteThe Faction HQ is not permanently nailed to Admag. If the Shek Kingdom gains control of Stack or Bad Teeth, the HQ may relocate there. Before going to find Esata — or to hand a bounty to Bayan — check where the current world state has put the HQ.

Unique recruits in the bar

Admag's bar is one of the densest sources of unique recruits in the game. Characters who may show up here include:

Seto can also be recruited here, but not simply by paying: the player must first distinguish themselves in the eyes of the Shek Kingdom.

World states: hanging on two lives

Admag's world-state logic is unusually simple by Kenshi standards — this location is only affected by the deaths of Esata and Seto, and nothing else. The two overrides are:

Weakened Admag
Berserk Admag

Why Admag is the Shek Kingdom
