In the story of Xenogears, Kislev is the name of a country, named after the Hebrew month.
Kislev is a land of dark pine forests, snow-clad wilderness and wind-swept steppes.
Kislev stands high on the banks of the river Urskoy, within a great loop of the river at a point where it skirts the steep "Gora Geroyev" (or "Hill of Heroes") upon which the city is built.
Kislev's armies also use many foot archers as well as their mounted archers, for these are very useful in holding and defending important positions.
