Tin Tan Tar

This article is about the empire of Tin Tan Tar.  For the city of Tin Tan Tar, see Tin Tan Tar (city).
On paper, Tin Tan Tar is the state that unified the Fogbound Coast; in reality, it is a state riven with deep divisions.  The state is nominally ruled by the Sunset Emperor, Grand Prince of Ming, who claims patrilineal descent from the last Ming emperor.  Real power, however, is in the hands of an oligarchy, with deep divisions between the steppe aristocracy and the coastal trading clans.
Shaken by a revolt in the former Khatri cities, that deposed the ruling Grand Prince in favor of a Vashalai and institutionalized the steppe acclamatory system, the Grand Prince was restored to power following a catastropic volcanic eruption east of Wetan, followed by an earthquake that shattered the Khatri heartland and levelled Merat.
