Kelimarian Sultanate

The Kelimarian Sultanate is the domain or empire ruled by the Sultan of Kelimaria. 
Over the centuries, most or all of Kelimaria has been unified several different times under successive dynasties of sultans, with these periods separated by intervals of disunity (and often strife) in which the various smaller Kelimarian states reasserted their independence. Scholars of history thus consider there to have actually been a series of Kelimarian Sultanates, rather than a single state that was disestablished and reestablished at intervals, and they are sometimes differentiated by the names of their dynasty. By this convention, the most recent Kelimarian Sultanate, which just collapsed a few years before the present day when its last Sultan Olugar IX was killed the late stage of Gol Garga’s invasions, would be called the Banuviri Sultanate. However, common people both in Kelimaria and abroad are unlikely to observe this practice, and would customarily speak of simply “the sultanate” or “the Kelimarian sultanate.”
When a sultanate has ruled Kelimaria, it has almost always had its capital in Yhimir: The site of the Palace of One Thousand Gates, the ancient and traditional seat of the sultanic court, whose main audience chamber contains the Topaz Throne. There have been times when the sultanic court was based in other cities, for instance during periods of warfare or rival claimants to the throne controlling different parts of Kelimaria. However, holding court in Yhimir and being seated on the the Topaz Throne are traditionally powerful symbolic indicators of sultanic authority and legitimacy, so sultans typically only move their capital elsewhere when dire circumstances force them to do so.
