Arunje Sultanate

Work in Progress 
== History ==
In ages past, the lands that would become the Arunje Sultanate were inhabitied by desert dwelling nomads and river farmers. Petty kingdoms and city states did exist, but they could hardly be compared to the grand cities in Europa or East Oria. 
All that would change when the Valkyrur invaded Middle Oria. The ancient nomadic tribes and farmers were no match for the grand armies of the Valkyur, who swept through Middle Oria. They were only stopped when a king that history remembers as Osman the Illuminated. Arunje historians and Priests of Illumitar both agree that Osman was a young farmer who escaped capture as the Valkyrur burned his village. After traveling the desert for four days and four nights, on the morning of the fifth day, a voice echoing from the orange, morning sun spoke to Osman. 
The exact words were lost and corrupted through history, but whatever Osman heard was powerful enough to unite the nomads and the many kingdoms and city states of Middle Oria. What had taken the Valkyur decades to conquer was reversed in five years. The wrath of Osman and his "Arunje" was so great that only the divine walls of Kushtandina were able to stop his advance.
The Arunje Sultanate was established in with the faith of the one, Illumitar as the state's religion. 
The Arunje Sultanate would prove to be Europa's greatest foe. And with Europa's disunity after the Valkyrur vanished, there was little Europa could do against the Arunje. The Arunje would expand heavily into Northern Umbra, Middle and Central Oria and into Eastern Europa. Some historians speculate that the Formation of the Autocratic East Europan Alliance was to counter the growing threat of the Arunje. However, time did what nations could not. 
After the first Europan War, the Arunje Sultanate fell into a period of instability. Preachers began boasting about how to "properly" worship Illumitar. The Sultanate fractured with the death of Mehmed the Weak in 1920, expecting his weak heir to be the death of the Arunje. However, Mehmed the Bright would prove his critics wrong. Mehmed the bright was physically weak, but his will and intellect kept some of the Arunje Sultanate together. Mehmed the Bright instituted several sweeping reforms, political and religious. Mehmed himself admits his guidance was revived from Illumitar along with a blessing. While historians and priests debate Illumitar's message to Mehmed the Bright, none can deny Illumitar's blessing seeing as how Mehmed the Bright is still sultan of the Arunje.
