For the Ashastani Empire province, see Gilead(istan) Province.

Gilead Zion (meaning “the heights of the witnesses” in Standard Zionite) is a term used for the mountainous southern part of the continent of Rigin, an area now occupied by the modern nations of the People’s Republic of Gilead Zion and Ghazaa.

The name "Gilead Zion" may be used by speakers to refer to both the modern nation of the People’s Republic (PRGZ) or the disestablished Holy Republic of Gilead Zion (HRGZ~defunct). The area was the site of the ancient Kingdoms of Gilead and Zion and the later Gilead(istan) Province, a central region of the Ashastani Empire. The name Gilead Zion is a Ashastani adaptation of the name Gilayed Szion and was originally applied to the whole of the Saenaian Mountain Range but by the time of the establishment of the Empire it had been limited in scope to the geographic region it denotes today.
