Tovaanid Empire

The Tovaanid Empire was the westernmost of the three huge domains into which Torkai Ul-Tash's enormous conquests were divided after his death in 930 CV; it comprised almost all of Kelimaria and Ojaum, and its rule was given to Tovaan Ul-Tash, fourth legitimate son of the All-Conqueror. In 944 CV, Tovaan gave up the rule of his empire and let the title of Ul-Tash pass to his eldest son, Norukai. 
The Tovaanid state would outlive its Aotujan counterpart to the northeast, but not by long. When Aotujai's empire began to break apart following his crushing defeat by the Phyridians at Shamach in the year after Norukai's accession, the subjugated Kelimarians perceived that their Suagir overlords were not invincible. Furthermore, the shockwave that rippled across Suagir domains following the Aotujan collapse weakened the Tovaanids in their own right: Dissension, recriminations, and instability were sown in Norukai's court, making them more vulnerable to insurrection from below. The Woodcutter's Rebellion broke out in 956 CV, sparking a general uprising across Kelimaria. This led to the foundation of a new sultanate, the Banuviri Sultanate, which was declared by a dispossessed member of the old Shasrahla sultanic clan and became a rallying point for Kelim resistance against their foreign rulers. It took many years of bloody warfare, but by 970 CV the last Suagirs had been expelled from Kelimaria and the Tovaanid Empire was gone completely. It had lasted forty years and had just two rulers, Tovaan and Norukai.
