== History ==
The earliest recorded intelligent life presence in modern-day Khuliratan dates back to the year -400, with the appearance of the crelurics, a species of natives known for their horns and voracious appetite. However, the human race of the Alnurites, arrived to Khuliratan and later founded the nation in the year 231, coinciding at the same time with the creation of Bejidism by the great prophet Peronat Khafren, who probably came up with the most esoteric part of Bejidism under the influence of a particularly strong "Bino", a tejaba-based liquor. With great effort, the Alnurites enslaved the creluric population north of Khuliratan, partly to gain new territories for the nation and support their economy, but also because of the fundamental beliefs of Bejidism. According to Bejidism, a religion that worships an entity known as mother Bejid, technology is a gift from god and progress is the ultimate purpose of human life, one that was damaged when humans crashed in Neuwelt. It should be noted that one of the most common representations of mother Bejid in art and religion, in addition to the orange sun, which is the most common, is the spaceship itself that brought humans to Neuwelt 4 centuries ago. Also, in this religion its said that when, in the future, all technology is lost, the apocalypse is going to start and humans will return to living as uncivilized animals. Thats why Alnurites are a very progressive civilization that actively seek to correct and repair "savage cultures" to recover the idea of ​​progress lost centuries ago. Due to this, alnurites are humans who blame the natives (and sometimes even other humans) for betraying mother Bejid and bringing the future apocalypse closer with thier lack of ideas and progress.

Basic History Info:
Its first inhabitants, the human race of the Alnurites, founded the nation in the year 131, few years later the great prophet Peronat Khafren Along with Mother Bejid created Bejidism. With great effort, the Alnurites enslaved the native population north of Khuliratan, partly to support their economy, but also because of the fundamental beliefs of Bejidism.
According to Bejidism, a religion that worships Mother Bejid a religious figure of high status that claims that a higher lifeform is better than the ‘’Natives’’ and that the humans were chosen by a prophecy that she found in an old rock hidden inside of an old ruin. 
The prophecy said to spread the knowledge with all and kill those who destroy and bring humiliation to it like the natives often mentioned in the prophecy as they were made as accidents in the realm of Neuwelt and that the ship on Neuwelt was sent as a messenger to correct those mistakes of the Gods. That's why the Alnurites actively seek to correct and repair "savage cultures" such as the natives to recover the balance of the world to let the acquisition of knowledge thrive as it is the meaning of life. Making the natives pillagers of knowledge as she believed that they are stupid and a mistake of the universe that they had to correct. 
Basically, the Alnurites are humans who blame the natives for betraying Mother Bejid by simply existing as they are the mistakes of the universe therefore bringing the future apocalypse closer with their lack of ideas and progress.
The earliest recorded intelligent life presence in modern-day Khuliratan dates back to the year -4000, with the appearance of the Crelurics, a species of natives known for their horns and voracious appetite. However, the human race of the Alnurites arrived to Khuliratan and later founded the nation in the year 131, Few years later Bejidism is founded by Mother Bejid and Peronat Khafren who probably came up with the most esoteric part of Bejidism under the influence of a particular strong "Bino", a Tejada-based liquor. With great effort, the Alnurites enslaved the Creluric population north of Khuliratan, partly to gain new territories for the nation and support their economy, but also because of the fundamental beliefs of Bejidism. 
1 – Founding of Khuliratan 131
Its first inhabitants are the human race of the Alnurites. The Alnurites more or less are some sort of integrated tribal society of refugees from the crash a few years ago that managed to settle and create a little society from loose human camps and villages along with having a little sense of a cult, the reason for this is because these camps or integrated small tribal communities of human refuges known as ‘’Toupas’’ often interact with each other and spread their beliefs and complaints about the world, One day a Human by the name of Lenel set a goal for himself to unites these Toupas, he himself came from the Toupas of Kulira, the job was not easy as many tried this before just like his father Lionel, But Lenel did not want to give up and over time he managed to make this work, with a combination of diplomacy, bribing, threatening, pillaging, raiding, strategic alliances and others he managed to unite the Toupas in the areas. One of these notable strategic moves was the taking of Ranyaan where he himself infiltrated the Toupas of Ranyan with a group of his own men acting as spies for a sabotage stealth mission. Before this mission, even more of Lenel’s men scouted the area acting as traders, and even after the stealth sabotage mission a raid in the next morning helped them capture this very prosperous and strategically placed Toupas. With the people of Ranyan and Kulira from there on they just started snowballing, And the capital or center of all of these Toupas was Kajitra, there on he established Khuliratan and made Kajitra a better place almost like a town and not a Toupas, He then establishes a Theocracy focusing on a belief that has now been lost in time, Be reminded that this was the start of Khuliratan and what it became today, the process still costing some lives and bloodshed under Lenel.
2 – Bejidism is founded 134
As Kajitra was growing some high ruling families started to get established one of them being the Khafren and a member of that family is the great prophet Peronat Khafren Along with Mother Bejid. Peronat was a high-ranking official of Kajitra and Mother Bejid is the direct descendant of the rulers of Ranyan. One day the two high-ranking officers and well-respected figures along with some others had a personal meeting discussing politics, but it soon got complicated as they started aggressively drinking a particularly strong "Bino", a Tejada-based liquor, they slowly became really drunk and the meeting ended after a while, but Mother Bejid and Peronat instead took a walk drunk, and came across a ruin coincidentally it had a huge crystal circular tablet known as a Hakar, and upon finding this tablet they interpreted it as a prophecy that said to spread the knowledge with all and kill those who destroy and bring humiliation to it, like the natives often mentioned in the prophecy as they were made as accidents in the realm of Neuwelt and that the ship on Neuwelt was sent as a messenger to correct those mistakes of the Gods. Quickly the two noted this down and walked to the village, at this point it was already morning and the people were bright awake but the two were still drunk, they went to the town square and started to spout out loud with dedication what they saw on the Hakar, this actually worked on the citizens and they believed it very fast, and with the Toupas and towns being closely integrated it spread like wildfire this then made the Alnurites enslaved the native population north of Khuliratan, partly to support their economy, but also because of the fundamental beliefs of Bejidism and what the two had stated that morning.
3 – Expansion into Creluriq the start of the Heluraids 135 – 228
As the expansion of Bejidism increased dramatically in all of Khuliratan to the point where all of the Khulirat citizens became converted to Bejidism, Actions started to take place against the natives in the area mainly the Crelurics, and some sort of ‘’crusade’’ started to mature, this era of native eradication was called the ‘’Heluraids’’ and was mainly focused on eradicating all Crelurics from Neuwelt, some natives were spared like the Armorans due to their resemblance to humans coincidentally, but the Crelurics fought hundreds of years against Khuliratan leading to endless campaigns and wars. There was only one Heluraids but it lasted for hundreds of years from 135 to 228 in fact. One of the notable people from this time was Karahan who was the one who started the Heluraids and in fact the grandchild of Mother Bejid, he led the newly created Khulirat army against the experienced natives and managed to be quite successful one of them being a  feigned retreat and that was pivotal in the start of the Heluraids as it opened the door for them to snowball until he got hit by Explosive Creluric Projectile after 7 years of fighting but that this not stop his predecessors to continue his combat and cause to preserve knowledge against the natives. Another important character at the start of the Heluraids was the killer of Karahan who was actually a native at a very young age who managed to bring out his native-made weapon and fire it at Karahan killing him at night, he was originally sent there as a distraction and scout for an arrow ambush due to his size along with his master who got killed by a Khulirat trap hidden underground, that night when he saw his beloved master die he wanted revenge and killed Karahan making him a national hero, best of all he managed to set the Khulirat camp into chaos as the arrow ambush still happened never the less the two sides fought for years and year.
4 – Kajitra rising capital 149
At this point, Kajitra was a rising town, and even more than that it became a city, with religious buildings sprawling and Lenel the leader of the nation prioritizing the flourishing of his capital. Despite it being relatively new the settlement itself in the area is quite old and strategically placed and had been deserted by natives around the year -76. With the geography of the region already being used by natives before the Khuliratan citizens, they had no problem exploiting that to the growth of their own city. The area used for settling is also distinguished by the flora as native herbs can be found locally with some interesting properties such as having a very addicting unique smell, growing with no stem directly on the ground, being hydrophobic when hot, colored purple with some black shading at the extremities, having a glass-like appearance while being fuzzy and a lot more. uncreatively called  ‘’Kajitran weed’’ by its human inhabitants. Kajitran grass also had a major influence on Kajitra as its citizens were more focused on herbalism, alchemy, and medicine they would gather the herbs and exploit their properties as well as in making beverages where the Kajitran weed would have natural yeast inside of them yet very different from normal yeast. One of the beverages made from Kajitran weed is Bino a strong alcoholic drink, Never the less the rise of this resource in Khuliratan allowed them to trade more increasing money and their capital to be plagued with so many new professions and jobs being created along with libraries and religious buildings such as the Bejid recording a library like building holding a vast amount of knowledge scripted in books and tablets along with religious related structures such as altars and worshiping rooms.
5 – Middle of the Heluraids
As the Heluraids wagged on it started to get characterized by a native victory reclaiming old territories and all of it plagues by the exposure of the inexperience of Khuliratan, Slowly but surely the Crelurics started to reclaim territories with them being characterized by siege and ranged weapons raining down on the Khulirats. One such incident was the taking of Yakhab where Creluric soldiers would scare off the Khulirats by burning a lot of wood to make the enemy think that they were overnumbered, lowering the morale of Khulirat civilians and soldiers and allowing for a more successful raid and siege of Yakhab that was easier than expected for the Crelurics. Another incident was at night when hundreds of soldiers with ladders surrounded the fortified town of Abkhat and raided it from all sides attacking with smoke-like projectiles made out of ash and capsaicin blinding the enemies at night in the dark while the Crelurics themselves were immune to this ‘’spicy wind’’, at one point you could not see the towns that the Crelurics raided due the intense bombarding of the city using smoke projectiles. Some variations of this smoke screen were flammable so when the smoke would hit the town the torches from the houses would light up the flammable smoke and burn everything and everybody. One notable figure who utilized and developed this smoke further was Licran a very reputable general who comes from a noble background and is connected to the Creluric prestigious and royal family he was even nicknamed Drymouth due to his always working the powder used for the smokescreen that would make his mouth dry.
6 – Kajitran Bejidism wave 149 - 200
Despite Khuliratan being on the losing side for now they still had some minor victories were made such as when they managed to get behind lines and ambush a small army crushing them, never the less Kajitra started to become some sort of huge Alehouse for all soldiers, Soldiers would go back to their home after a few weeks drink some booze and with that many houses started to become multifunctional with most of them having spare beds, a homemade alchemy table for medicine, some baths for people to rest and a lot more, effectively making a lot of towns in Khuliratan and mostly Kajitra a immense recovery hub for soldiers effectivly also creating a revolution in infrastructure. Roads also started to get built to allow soldiers to quickly get in and out of towns but also generally transportation. This further developed more medicins to be produced and more knowledge to be accumulated in medicine and alchemy but also other aspects of science that contribute to their war efforts.
7 – Rise of Khuliratan and ROTGGOL alliance 180
As Khulirtan spreads its influence neighboring states start to pay attention to it such as ROTGGOL or Realm Of The Great God Of Light, This state practices a religion that is early similar to Khuliratans, and this is no coincidence as the Hakar is also a source of religion for them, just that the people from ROTGGOL practice this religion for a lot longer than Khuliratan and according to ROTGGOL Khuliratan are practicing the misinterpreted version of the Hakar due to mother Bejid and Peronat, Tensions between the countries start here and end here, as never the less they have the same values the almost the same religion and this is what spared the people from ROTGGOL against Khuliratan as the Khulirats see them as ‘’Mistakes that aimed themselves to solution ’’, another similarity is how they have the same Theocratical society. Nevertheless at the beginning of the year 200 the two started to trade and never the less the relations between the two just increased from them joining Heluraids against the Crelurics, joint state meeting, and even at one point both chiefs of state declaring themselves a sort of title that made them nonblood related brothers all of this helping both economies flurish with the two countries considering merging into one. 
8 - Khuliratan ROTTGOL Unification 215
As the  Relations with ROTTGOL bloomed talks of unification in the 210’s became more and more popular and one day in 215 it happened with both states merging to fight the Crelurics and other heretics. The new name for the state was The Realm Of The Hakarian Apostles (TROTHA) or Hakaria for short named after their source of faith the Hakar. The citizens of Khuliratan and ROTTGOL were overjoyed and since both countries were Theocracies the government was easily integrated into each other. This alliance made the two countries shine with economies booming further exploration into architecture and religon, knowledge, and most of all a sudden hope of finally crushing the Crelurics.
9 - Landslide in Khuliratan 222
A landslide in Khuliratan in the year 222 demolished many Toupas that year but also cities, even the capital of Kajitra were safe from the landslide. Nevertheless, this also helped the country as it made the country shine with unity despite the problems of Mother Nature.
10 – Relics found 229
As the landslide happened many mountains were deformed, and 7 years later a relic was found but not only that, a whole city was found clinging to the side of a cliff, It was the biggest archeological discovery in both countries that are now 1 today under TROTHA.
The cite that was found was an ancient city called Atorn and one of the oldest setlement in Neuwelt, Inside of it countless relics but most of all a collection of Hakar intact inside of a room filled with dust to the brim you would have tought you were in a sandbox. The hakars found their sources great knowledge from the past and carified many things about Bejidism but no words of it saying it was misinterpreted coincidentally. The Hakar was a source of alchemy too as many recipes for food and materials used for buildings were found, this archeological find shaped the architecture of TROTHA. Today all the Hakars are spread throughout TROTHA in many secured museums, these were also considered scary and many legends were found on them talking about people in the past and other sources of knowledge in Alchemy, medicine, Herbalism, Cooking, Architecture and a lot more. 
11 –Final Heluraid 250
As THROTHA finishes and sieges the last settlements of the Crelurics the heluraids come to an end, but this would have not been possible if it was not for the strong faith the people had in Bejidism, the union with ROTTGOL also flourished both countries to achieve their goal to kill all Crelurics. But it was not easy as early on the Crelurics managed to seige some towns and many Toupas but in many cases, the people from inside the town would rebel against the Crelurics in the name of Bejidism and mother Bejid, one such incident was the capture of Ragat a major Toupas in THROTHA, where the semy city Toupas was sieged for a year and then captured. The people in the city did not want to abdicate to the Crelurics and they soon took the opportunity to do so by cooperating with spies from the outside to get more information and then cooperate, The plan was for the Hakarian/THROTA soldiers to attack the back of the town as hard as possible for the Crelurics to gather there, Then for a team of locals to then open the front gate at the other side of the town and another team of Hakarian soldiers to infiltrate the city and attack the Defending Crelurics from both sides trapping them and making them win the day. At the end the Crelurics were defeated and expansion stop and the main focus on the state was modernizing.
12 – Khuliratan and ROTGGOL SPLIT 290
Sadly over time, the relations between the two states making up TROTHA/Hakaria were starting to break, at first, it was just in politics then it spread to the people, and over time it got worse and worse. Eventually, a civil war broke out into 2 factions wanting both countries to be independent and split, by change the civil war was very short-lived as a peaceful ending, with both countries splitting peacefully and going their own ways. Relations at first between the two were bad but they quickly became neutral and trade and knowledge could flow between the two countries but still, they were not as good as they were in their prime days. The Hakars also played a significant role in this with an odd number of them being found, so one Hakar the most important one was in the middle of the border while the rest of all hakars were in their respective capitals.
13 – Szalonia and khuliratan become besties 337 - 403
With the separation of ROTGGOL and Khuliratan happening some neighbors wanted to take advantage of this diplomatic vacuum and Szalonia a nearby Monarchy wanted to establish trade and good relations, for years both countries worked on these relations and over time it did work with both nations becoming close friends. And even with Khuliratan spreading some of its influence to Szalonia which was not rejected by the Szalonian people. Over all Szalonia after years and years slowly replaced ROTGGOL and what it was to Khuliratan.
14 – Szalonia takes over and inherits Khuliratan 403
One day the Szalonian Monarch decided to get married to a Khulirat family member, this move was highly controversial yet highly accepted by the Khuliratan Theocracy. This move angered ROTGGOL who began to spread propaganda about this saying that Szalonia was preparing to annex Khuliratan but this was seen as an exaggerated plot by ROTGGOL, Few months later that is exactly what happened, Szalonia annexed Khuliratan using a inheritance and deemed it Szalonian territory, This surprisingly is accepted by the majority of Khuliratan except for the far west were people started to rebel making a pro-ROTGGOL state, a few months later Szalonia attacked the Rebel state and annexed it too and along with it some parts of ROTTGOL leaving a puppet government behind that is pro-Szalonia.
