'Kush' is the term used by most Hyborians to refer to all the lands to the south of Stygia, though more properly it refers to the land of Kush itself. Like most of the regions to the north of the Southern Desert, Kush is predominantly verdant grassland and open savannahs, though the land also contains some jungle and desert.

Kush exports ivory, ostrich feathers, copper, hides, pearls, slaves, gold dust and hammered gold ornaments. Occasionally, curious, whitely flaming crystals are found in its hills, though these are prized and rarely leave the country. To the south of Kush, near the beginnings of the Great Southern Desert, are hills containing marble, lapis lazuli, silver, copper, gold and jade, though these are not generally mined by the Kushites due to their proximity to such dangers as the dragons of the Xuchotl region.
