Act of Union

With the 2 crowns of Kisuran and Yianushir having been in a personal union for the last 30 years the peoples of the 2 kingdoms had grown to see each other as the same peoples. With the death of Nanuk earlier in the year at the hands of the foul Urudiki Republic many where angered and worried about how much the Republic had been able to infiltrate the Kingdoms. The current Malik had proven extremely popular with both her governing abilities across the region, with her being very popular among the Yianushiri locals as well as a war hero of the Ashurani war. Her governors realised this was an opportunity to finally unite the Kingdoms into a new Malikhate under the divine ruling hand of Ilkhur.
At first Mangkur was sceptical as to how the 2 different peoples would mesh together, culturally the 2 where similar enough but when it can to actual ruling it was a different matter. Slavery had never been banned inside Yianushir as it had been apart of the deal made when Nanuk had ascended the throne. Religious laws where also very different between the 2 states with Yianushir following Orthodox Ilkhurism with Kisuran worshipping their own flavour of the faith. It was noted that both religions where able to function together and had been for years and this issue was eventually solved by proposing that the 2 clergies of each kingdom simply be carried over.
Slavery would prove a contentious issue however, with the subject being extremely taboo in Kisuran but not uncommon in Yianushir. Speaking with the nobles of Yianushir, with them being the largest owners of slaves, a deal would be hashed out where by slavery wouldn’t be banned in Yianushir and overall it be kept as it was. The deal wasn’t hugely popular with Kisuranis and a second deal would be made where by importing new slaves from outside Yianushir was to be banned. This was slightly better with the only people angry over the deal being those who had gotten rich from buying slaves from Urudik.
And so it was that on the last day of the year 6318 Malik Mangkur II of Kisuran was crowned as Malik Mangkur I of Ilkhurab Malikate al Kisuran, or the Ilkhurish Caliphate of the Kisuan. This finally united the 2 peoples in both heart and in state and would allow for much more effective governance of the southern Erigiresh. The Republic of Urudik was taken aback by the development, with the new Sabahras of the Republic, the old general Erûs Abišĭras, demanding that the subjugation of Enkidu be sped up and allow the men tied up there be positioned to strike at the heart of this new enemy.
