Sultanate of Arana

A sultanate in the Chorenese, established after the Dissolution War by Mustafaya Yazi, encompassing the lands of central Chorene. Their flag is a sea of flames, red over orange. 
==Culture==
Arana is the ethical and cultural melting pot of Chorene, with both Skahazadani, Hotari, Ruhun, and Central Magnian influences. 
Most of the population are olive-skinned and dark of hair, but the people of the passes and heights of the Kotlov Mountains are usually have paler skin that freckle or burn in the sun, and with brown or even blond hair.
==Economy==
Arana is an immense merchant power which used to produce nearly all agricultural products of Chorene and still dominate the region. Their main exports are grain, fruit, glass, iron, fish, coral, whale bones, and whale oil. They are currently engaged in a customs war with the Sultanate of Sidaris.
== Administrative Divisions ==
Arana is divided into 8 Vizirates, each ruled by a Vizier and governing a small number of Khaganates:
* Karaz, ruled by Mustafaya Yazi from the city of Pendosis
* Saraceen, ruled by Kay De Medesto from the city of Tytos
* Akahn, ruled by Aslan Sahadettin from the city of Karei-Akahn
* Elysia, ruled by Mya Ozz from the town of Elysia
* Kehan, ruled by Zaya Synphio from the city of Khanhold
==Recent History==
After the Coup on Orak, Rammaz Yazi claimed the city of Pendosis for himself, but his older sister, Mustafaya, was quick to seize it from him. She began to fight for territory with her brother Osman. She immediately began to disperse men in all directions to demand tribute from the minor lords and secure a border to expand upon steadily, leaving few castles outside her control.
In 1430, Mustafya had fought her brother on six occasions and taken direct control of Tytos, Khanhold, Elysia, and Karei-Akahn at the four corners of central Chorene and appointed a vizier and a garrison for each.
After an unsuccessful Osmanid attempt at conquest in late 1430, both the southern and northern banks of the river became a disputed frontier zone between the two forming sultanates. Finally, a frail ceasefire was struck in early 1431, though skirmishes continue on both sides.
