Abkhaz people
Inal was planning to subjugate Abkhazia, who has ethnic ties to the Circassians. The Abkhaz clans Anchabadze and Shervashidze, who adopted Inal's policy, announced that they would stand by Inal in a possible war. Inal, who won the war, officially conquered Northern Abkhazia and after fighting against the Megrels, the Abkhaz people recognized Inal's rule and Inal finalized his rule in Abkhazia. One of the stars on the flag of Abkhazia represents Inal's alleged grave, Inal-Quba.
