Kutnubad

The Siritahlene (White Mounatains in Asteri, named so by its gentarii inhabitants) later called the Bophan Mountains and Kutnubad by the simulami humans, is a mountain range that runs through central Nieden. 
== Geography ==
The Sirithalene is known to have slim canyons with dozens of waterfalls and caves that run the heights of them. This can make exploration of the region exciting, but dangerous. 
It spreads all along Nieden, from the northen port of Galitz to Anoshphey. It is composed in two subranges including from north to south: 
- The Kalitz hills 
- The Plateau of Thanuthabad 
- Mount Yham 
- Mount Wahat 
- The Arkhall Peak 
- The Zantahle Mountain 
== History ==
=== Classical Era ===
The Kutnubad was home to the former Confederacy of Gentarii Niedenes, which prevented most Escharian expansionism to the western region of Nieden (see Kingdom of Egalia) until the era of the First Empire. On the other hand, the southern mountain range was the seat of Khuzdurin.
=== Empire Era ===
Khuzdurin didn't survive the rise of the inheritors of the Escharian Empire, the newly reformed nations Aesperium Niedea and Theionikos-Eusskeudal. Following this event, the southern range was annexed by Eusskeudal and later became home to the Bophanites in the Duchy of Lynnmore while the northenmost ranges were annexed by Niedea.
During this period, the Kutnubad were the seat of seditious movements, first and earliest being Unterrench. It was then followed by Lynnmore, Fredonia, Thanutabad and Tymarat. Only the town of Galitz remained loyal to the Second Escharian Empire (Niedea).
=== Simulami expansion ===
The pacification of the area occured either through the departure of the local government, like in Lynnmore, either through independence. 
Tymarat and Fredonia sought protection under the crisis of Decembe, , who then 2021 dhs aread of Tymarat and Fredonia were able to secede. However, fearing reprisal from the Newly reformed Aesperium Niedea, these nations sought the protection of the Kingdom of Gertonia.
Eventually, the Kingdom of Gertonia joined the Empire of Simulami fearing retaliation from Escharia. It's at this moment that Simulami started to expand westward, up to the limits of the former Kingdom of Egalia. Eventually, the whole northern part of the mountain range was annexed by Simulami through the Escharian crisis of september 2022. 
=== Escharian Spring and Third Empire ===
In January 2023 the various niedene states under Simulami occupation or vassalship declared independence. The Kingdom of Vasterien, holding most of the Sirithalene, secceded from Simulami the 19th of that month, and alongside the others escharian states reformed the Soleannen Empire the following month.
