Hassanid Empire

The Sublime Imperial State of Hassanid ( Hassani: طهه صوبلیمه صتاته وف حاسسان ), known more commonly as the Hassanid Empire, is a major power that controls and wields significant influence in the lands west of the City States of Kawar, which it borders. The Hassanid Empire is an Autocracy at its core, and, as such, is ruled by a single head of state that exercises absolute power. The State's leader holds the traditional Hassani title of Padeshah, while Kadın is the title usually bestowed upon the Padeshah's wife.
== History ==
It is largely accepted that the Hassanid Empire is the sole legitimate successor state to one of the first human civilizations to develop on the planet. Historical information is sparse on the exact origin of the Sublime State, but it is believed that the Hassanid Empire as it exists today emerged in the early thousands N.C., when Pero I sought out to unify all of the fractured Dacri tribes that descended from the previous fallen Hassani civilizations under a single banner.

== The Cicilia Massacre ==
A clique of Hassani Court Mages under the leadership of Hazas-den Estakhr attempted to seize control of the Sublime State in the 9th century A.C. by capturing and holding Padeshash Mevazy IV and his harem hostage in the Imperial Palace. The coup d'état was the result of ever-growing discontent with Mevazy IV's Anti-Mage state reforms introduced due to a concerning economic downturn in the Imperial Treasury. The reforms restricted and scaled back the amount of government-issued "Mage-Wages" ( a system of payment created decades prior to compensate the Padeshah's Court Mages) by 72 percent, severely limiting and impacting the living standard of the mages affected. 
After a period of failed negotiating that lasted no more than 3 days, the First Imperial Cavalry Regiment under the leadership of Marshal Wattu Ozman stormed the Imperial Palace, executing the mages and their collaborators on the spot. In retaliation, Hazas-den Estakhr beheaded Padeshah Mevazy IV and set most of the northern banks of the Hassanid capital city aflame, before eventually fleeing to the Kawari City States. The fire that engulfed the northern banks claimed the lives of hundreds of commoners and merchants, while many of the survivors were mutilated for life.
