Nahari Empire

A historical empire of considerable influence in the region of the Kbirilma Sea, the Nahari Empire centered on the eponymous city of Nahar at the southern rim of the Face of the Moon. For most of its existence, Nahar had been a relatively minor settlement of the Arta Xorti fishermen and merchants who had plied the Kbirilma for centuries. All that changed when a neighboring city-state, Zirais, invaded from the south. The numbers favored Zirais, but Nahar had one of the most brilliant military minds in history -- Ruman the Great. With a tiny, rag-tag force, Ruman easily outsmarted his foe, smashed them in battle, and took their city as well; he and his successors established a growing trade empire that dominated the north of the Kbirilma. This could only last so long, however -- the Nahari ran into the Leunan and the Opulensi Empires, and Ruman's successors were not his equal. The Empire stagnated until it fell to an invasion by the Savirai, one which ultimately led to the foundation of the Dual Empire.
After the collapse of the Dual Empire , the Halyr Altaro Javan reestablished and rebuilt the Nahari Empire as a component of his Halyrate. After his disappearance, his will established a new dynasty upon the Nahari throne.
