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:
| Layer | Force | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Town defence | Hundred Guardians | Inside the town |
| Outer ring | Shek Warriors | Patrolling 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.
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:
| Override |
|---|
| Weakened Admag |
| Berserk Admag |
Why Admag is the Shek Kingdom
A handful of wiki notes make the town's weight clear:
- It is several times more populated than Squin. The reasoning comes from Kamikaze spawns: all of them are tied to whether or not Admag depopulates into nothing but Berserker squatters.
- Whether the Kingdom has the forces to take other towns depends on Esata's status, and Esata's status is tied directly to Admag. In practice, this town's world state is the on/off switch for Shek expansion.
- It is big enough to have its own Thief Tower. Squin is not — the clearest single indicator of the size gap between the two.
- Around 95% of all Shek are here, going by the squad counts bound to this location.
