Karanids

The Imperial Confederation of the Karānids, natively referred to as the Ekhyāt-e Kurushi-e Karāniānād, is a confederal parliamentary diarchy made up of several member states. The confederation is located in the north eastern quadrant of the Abexilas in the continents of Cathramis and Tiberia. The Confederation is greatly spread out, thus it observes a wide array of climates and features environments of deserts, mangroves, and mountains.
The Confederation officially seceded from The Holy Empire of Sahriya on the , first seceding with the towns of Ariakhash, Cyrus Cay and KaraneSe'Tape.
The nation, although not culturally homogenous, has found itself unified under the Pakdeen faith of the ruling dynasty. The most common and the state language of the confederation is Aryavak, the language of the Arianian people.
== Etymology ==
Ekhyāt-e Kurushi-e Karāniānād, the official name of the nation, is an Aryavak sentence roughly translating to "The Royal Alliance of those who are Holy". "Ekhyāt-e Kurushi" is a sentence that directly translates to "Royal Alliance", meant to convey that, although we are a confederation, the kings rule above all. "e Karāniānād", directly translating to "of the Karānids" or "of the holy", while also referencing the ruling Karanid Dynasty, is intended to emphasize that although we differ in culture, we are united in faith. 
The proper spelling in the native Aryavak is "𐬈𐬑𐬫𐬁𐬙𐬈 ⸱ 𐬐𐬎𐬭𐬎𐬱𐬌𐬈 ⸱ 𐬐𐬀𐬭𐬁𐬥𐬈𐬁𐬥𐬁𐬛", and the proper pronunciation of the nation's name is /ɛxjɒ:ˈt ɛ kuˈɾu:ʃi: ɛ kæˈɾɒ:niɒ:nɒd/ 
== History ==
=== Pre-History ===
The pre-history of the Karānids begins with the Proto-Arianians of Talasi. The Proto-Arianians were a group of human nomads who wandered eastern Talasi before the discovery of Abexilas. The Proto-Arianians followed an unstudied folk religion revolving around sun worship, not unlike the modern Pākdeen. A split occurred between the Proto-Arianians when sailors settled in the southen most point of Tiberia, in what is now known as Karane Se'tape. Following their arrival, mingling with the native caranthean populations resulted in the formation of the modern Karanians.
=== Pre-Inception ===
Prior to the inception of the confederation, the Olden House of Karān, a Sahriyan royal house led by the prophet Parwiz Karāni, had control over the majority of the land controlled by the Karānids today. 
Following frustrations with the Sahriyans due to corrupt politics and the Destruction of Karane Se'tape, Parwiz Karāni, along with his sons Peroz Karāni II and Kushyar Karāni, began conspiring a plot to secede. However, this plan was thrown off course upon the death of the prophet Parwiz on the winter of the 61st VE. Following the death of the prophet, the plan would be postponed till his son, Peroz Karani II, would take the initiative and put the plan into motion.
=== Inception ===
Following Peroz Karani's rise in power, he and his brother began talks with the tiberium in order to secure support for their secession. After several days of talks, the Karānid's seceded from The Holy Empire of Sahriya on the spring of the 64th VE.\ 
=== Post-Inception ===
Following their inception, a diaspora of players from the old world joined the nation to provide aid in its formation and to aid in the reconstruction of Karane Se'tape.
