The western hills of Nghệ An and Hà Tĩnh, from Quế Phong and Quỳ Châu to Hương Khê and Vũ Quang, up to the Lao border: hill peoples, Tai speakers among them, under local headmen.
The Keo Nua track crosses the range at the south end. Elephants, ivory and forest goods come down to the Ca. We found no source for who rules these valleys in 1200; the Ly prefect of Nghệ An takes tribute in name.
