Arekhani Horde

The Arekhani Horde mostly present in the Azurath region of Zarilya was an ancient horde existing before the dawn of Abexilas.
=== Creation ===
The horde was created and dominated by a Solonari family clan known as Ivoria which migrated south to the Azurath desert. The founding of the capital Arekha (a modern visible ruin west of Metron) started the rise of the empire. Very soon after the creation of the Horde, the two cities of Evan and Khite joined the Horde. Arekha was your typical desert capital with large walls and palaces for the noble and rich. Evan was a rich lake port which had its main source of food from fishing in the coral lake and agriculture because of the fertile land. Khite was placed between a mesa and a desert and was the main market for the Azurath region. Things like spices from the Jindari, Dyes from Solora, etc. This new nation was relatively irrelevant on the regional stage for now. The government of the Horde was partially democratic having a council of 5 people. The khan always had an option of outruling the council but that was rarely done due to instability issues that would come with it and the fact that the council mostly agreed with the khan.
=== War Of Azurath ===
Tensions between the Orcs of northern Presage and Arekhan were rising as a major Orc clan leader died to a poisoned drink suspected to be given by an Arekhani. The war started when the Orcs marched to Khite in an attempt to seize the city. This began the historically known Siege of Khite which lasted 11 months ending with an Arekhani counterattack leading to a victory. The Orc army collapsed and were forced to sign peace with Arekhan leading to the Orcs paying heavy reperations and needing to recognize the borders of Arekhan (shown in the image above). The main reason for this victory was Jindari selling charms to turn Arekhani soldiers into Azuja (a powerful warrior race, more explained about Jindari and Azuja in the Naan wiki). Without this help the Arekhani wouldnt have stood a chance against the Orcs.
=== Revolution Of The Red Banner ===
On the morning of a seemingly peaceful day. The khan got into a large disagreement in the council over the treatment of protestors. The khan ordered the execution of every single council member. Out of all 4 were successfully rounded up and executed while the 5th council member and the only one out of the 5 to be a direct descendant of Ivoria other than the khan managed to escape. His name was Reap Ivoria. He fled northwest to Khite and managed to convince multiple military high ups to join his cause. The city of Khite was united against Arekhan under the Kingdom Of Khite, which promised Constitutional Monarchism across the nation. Evan later would also join this revolt. And a mainstream dye in the Khitean markets, Red, would become the symbol of the Revolution (Red represents blood). The Kingdoms army marched on Arekha and began a siege bloody enough to last years, but it ended in an almost pyrrhic victory for the Kingdom. The city was so devastated by the war that it was abandoned.
=== End Of The Nation ===
After the end of the Naannite War and the victory of the Azuja. The Kingdom decided to join the Palatinate of Naan ending the nation. The region of Evan and Khite was still directly owned by Reap Ivoria and the cities grew so big that they merged into one, Evankhite. The city would later become a holy land of Razra and a large area of dispute between Naannites, Scrooms, Kaizrans and Melzians.
