Jhal'Khaz

==Summary==
The Empire of Jhal'Khaz was a short-lived empire which ruled over much of Northern Areheim and most of the Nomadic Plains. It lasted from about 3E 4750 to 3E 4800, when it was driven out of Northern Areheim by Kativa during the 1st Kativan War and was subsequently taken apart by the local nations, who had once been enslaved by the Jhalli.
The capital of Jhal'Khaz is Shanak'Khaz, currently led by Emperor Morgh Khaz .
==History==
===Formation===
Morgh Khaz and his brothers led an army of undead minions and Malari slaves to unite and conquer the barbarian tribes of the Nomad Plains. They succeeded in about 3E 4750. The Empire's first emperor was Morgh Khaz, who ruled the Jhalli empire with an iron fist. During his reign, he built the fortress of Shanak'Khaz. Late in his reign, he and his brothers performed a ritual and became liches.
===King Troghu and the Fall===
The Last King of the Jhalli was King Troghu the Usurper, who had led the coup against Emperor Morgh Khaz, which succeeded thanks to assistance from Kativa. However, after Morgh Khaz was imprisoned in his tomb, Troghu was betrayed by Kativa and was driven out of his empire, into the hands of previously enslaved locals, who captured him after the fall of the empire at the Battle of Shanak'Khaz. According to legend, the local tribes, led by their king, King Nakhar forced him to eat his own bodyparts, one by one; a painful process which lasted several months before Troghu finally died.
===4th Age Ressurection===
in the year 4E 494, Lord Morgh Khaz, recently returned from his imprisonment, refounded the empire after clearing out Shanak'Khaz and inhabiting the body of King Nakhar. Morgh Khaz hosted a gathering of nomadic tribes and raised a merchant king, Julub Qohlaxo Julublub, as grand vizier of Shanak'Khaz.
====4E 494====
In 4E 494, Morgh Khaz, in control of the Nevnu army, led a series of campaigns against the Mandu , ending with their defeat at the site of Mordak'Khaz. The remaining Mandu were sheltered by the Druidic Nation of Kia'Salla.
