Kyr-ashah

The Illuminated Union of Kyr and Ashah, commonly simply referred to as Kyr-ashah, is a state on the far southern edge of Ohoroh. Kyr-ashah is widely known for it's unique government style; a diarchy, composed of the monarch, who execises absolute control, and an Archpriest, elected freely upon the death of his succesor by all those of the state religion, Ahaerikedism. This makes Kyr-ashah somewhat of an oddity; a bizarre mix of democracy and autocracy.
Kyr-ashah was one of the last territories on Ohoroh conquered by the Casorian Empire; this is due to the vast stretch of desert to the country's west side, a colossal wasteland utterly devoid of life, known as the Dunes of Blistering Death. Though it eventually fell to the Empire's constant assault, it led to much loss of life, and the Empire did not have long to cement her control of the area before she retreated from Ohoroh entirely. This has preserved both Kyr-ashah's distinct culture, and her unique form of the Ahaerikhed Faith, focusing more around the worship of the sun as Ahaerik incarnate, rather than in Ahaerikedist Temples. Despite this difference, relations between Kyr-ashah and neighbouring Telaa Sahel are very warm, with strong economic, military, and dynastic ties between the two.
