==History==
===Elven Rule===
Shakuma where slaves that laboured over the Viri under close watch by the Gelldir. Around 
===Post Darkening - Empire of Hahaska===
With the Shakuma now free of the Gelldir's tryanny they began the construction of several settlements along the Mountainside which hugged the Orange Plains. Between their knowledge over Viri Architecture and Posperety, they prospured and formed a kingdom of their own under the Sandrule Family. However these plentiful and genouris years where not to pass as the Shakuma where soon plunged into tribal warface against the Plainsmen hordes from the north just to keep from losing their lands. After many years of Bloodshed the 2 factioms eventually managed to come to an aggrement which would best both parties. The Shakuma would keep the Shakara Desert whilst the Plainsman would rule over them nationally as a unified Province. This idea was accepted by Chieftain Maslum Dusk and later he renamed this into the Empire of Hahaska, and married Vehna Sandrule which would lead to the royal family bloodline being both Shakuma and Plainsman.
