The Kyeshdet Cannon is a name for a 900 mm gun on display in Kyeshdet, Dorislav. It's unknown when it was built, but it is believed to have been built in the 1600s during Great Belasrii's final years. Its fate after the fall of Aecirov in 1938 remained unclear until it was discovered in a tiny lake near Bolkar in the 2060s. Briefly put on display there, it was later transferred to Kyeshdet in 2089, where it currently sits today. Apart from maintenance work, it has remained untouched since then.

Its original purpose is unknown, though it is believed to have been built as a propaganda weapon. During the Dorislavian War of Independence (2150-2152), Dorislavian forces occasionally fired shells and dropped bombs full of leaflets at government troops threatening to use the gun and boasting about its capabilities should they try to enter Kyeshdet. While it remained untouched during the conflict, it was occasionally displayed on Dorislavian propaganda.
