Kingdom of Batta

The Kingdom of Batta is one of the largest Hunzi kingdoms. It is centered on the city of Batta, and ruled as a despotic tribal monarchy. The ruling dynasty is called "The Clan of Batta."
==History==
Batta was originally named J'fedunwari, and was a settlement inhabited by a community of eight Hunzi clans. During the rise of the Wean civilization, J'fedunwari benefitted greatly from trading. The settlement grew and came to become the centre of a dry farmland, where chicken husbandry was the norm.
However, a warlike clan known as the Batta migrated from the west into the territory of the J'fedunwari. They came with less than one hundred warriors with families, and slowly captured village by village.
J'fedunwari's elders accepted Battan protection, and the Battans took it as their duty to defend the small town. However, they reneged on their promise and slaid the elders of J'fedunwari, at least according to themselves. They installed a monarchy, ruled by King Mazuku.
The Battans saw to become a leading slavery port, and grew in influence and splendour during the following century.
After a series of civil strife and murders, stability emerged under King Khefwa, who murdered his brothers and took their wives to ensure stability. Khefwa was eventually succumbing to madness and started to sacrifice his sons to prolong his life. His six surviving sons rose against him and had him overthrown.
Hunzabi, the third of the surviving sons, proved to have the loyalty of the armed forces. First, he had his brothers slain. Then he saw to establish an army not based on clan structure but on loyalty towards the king personally. Thus, a professional army - the first in all of Hunziland - was established. Hunzabi began a series of wars, which culminated in the Sack of Ashwadi.
Fearing the ambitions of his son, Tigraini, after Tigraini killed his brother Shutwi, made Hunzabi move against Tigraini. Tigraini did however win the loyalty of the royal bodyguard, and had Hunzabi arrested. Then Tigraini and Bezie Jeyele moved to purge all of Hunzabi's children. Hunzabi himself was tortured to death by his own son.
Tigraini truly placed Batta on the map during his reign, by a series of lightning campaigns towards his neighbours. The kingdom was administered by the king's mother during these campaigns. Eventually, Tigraini crowned himself King of Hunziland, even though he controlled less than a third of the entire territory inhabited by settled Hunzi. He did however control the wealthiest and most developed part. However, he nourished the ambitions of becoming a world conqueror. After succumbing to a madness similar to that of his grandfather, Tigraini slew his mother and fell ill with a fever, which ended his life on the seventeenth year of his reign.
Thus, the Battan Empire has fallen into a state of civil war under Tigraini's former bodyguard, Zabi.
