Toumanii

The Toumanii were a tribe of Vadyans living near the Bay of Amharon during the 2nd and 3rd Centuries. 
They first came into recorded knowledge in the 130's; a princess of the Toumanii married into the more powerful Asorii tribe. After that, the Toumanii snowballed in power and prestige. By 190, the Toumanii controlled the entire northern shore of the Bay of Amharon, ruling from the town of Lijvar.
A prince of the Toumanii rose in the following years: Amharon. Leading the Toumanii to war, he conquered first Norzhen, then Tzilkar and Gyimru, and finally Sarkap. With this he completed the conquest of the bay that was later named for him.
Prince Amharon ruled with avarice and greed, treating the neighbouring tribes with contempt. They conspired against him, and in 239 the Toumanii were attacked on all fronts. They held out until 242, holing up in their ancestral fortress of Lijvar. They were eventually overrun, though, and by 245 the Toumanii were extinct. Lijvar was burned to the ground, and today no sign of the settlement remains, except for a small mound and an expanse of salted earth where no crops grow.
