Ferahaa

The Sharqiya of Ferahaa was a Desert-Plains realm centred around the town of Ghashfir around the end of the 5th Century.
== History ==
The region of the desert-plains has always been volatile - countries break up as quickly as they form, and Ferahaa is no exception. The Sharqa of Ghashfir seized control of the area in 473, taking the reins from the ailing Sharqiya of Harash.
With the support of the Tungrid minority to the south, Ferahaa grew fast, snaking east and taking Poleius and Alentus from the Reman buffer state of Erigia in 482. This, unfortunately, drew the attention of the Reman consuls.
Several sanctions and trade embargoes failed to make Ferahaa return the taken land, and the presence of the Tungrids, an ostracised minority in Reme, only exacerbated matters. Eventually, in 494, matters came to a head and Reme declared war.
The Khuran War lasted four years, with Reme only backing down in 498 at the threat of Vardanid intervention. The population was well aware that it was animosity towards the Tungrids that sparked the war, and they were forced out of the country by royal decree in 499.
Ferahaa was stable for the next several years. It came under attack in 507 by the neighbouring Sharqiya of Khutna. Forcing this invasion back, Ferahaa lasted another six years. It was finally defeated and partitioned between the Sharqiyas of Khutna and Isfan in 513.
