## History

### Before the First Era

Before the Orcish empire of Grashewe, the northern and eastern areas of Ehnaroh (specifically those in the Vorrel and Gharatan mountains) were used as sites in the ancient civilization of Bethea. The most notable of these sites include the Gharatan Goldtower and the gates of Ghar Mheghi. Several abandoned ruins lay in between the granite mountains, where the Betheic peoples once practiced their craft in magic and science.

After the people of Bethea died out, many small city-states of Gnolls, Halflings, and Gnomes sprung up around the mountains and valley. These city-states were quickly wiped off of the map on the Year 4158, when the young Grashewe Empire expanded north. The cities were quickly consumed and put under Orcish control.

In order to maintain control in the region, a fortress was founded south of the Shorlekh Lake. Population slowly moved into the area, forming a citadel then known as "Karukez." Later, this city would be known as Kerkath. To accompany this, the town of "Teylar" was formed just southeast of Karukez. This city would later become Telara.

During the Dying of Ages, many of the citizens of Karukez and Teylar were killed by The Blight. Both of the cities were left mostly abandoned until The Seventh Revival eliminated the disease.

### The First Era

#### Before The Yellow Rebellion

It took around one hundred years for the kingdom to fully recover from The Blight. Karukez was reconstructed, this time putting a makeshift fortress on a mountainside north of the Shorlekh Lake. Karukez became a major agricultural and slave trade center. It's sister city, Teylar, became a city for silver exports, as silver mines sprung up around the hills and mountains surrounding the town.

Things were kept fairly quiet, until the Empire of Tur-Gaal arrived. These rival orcs swept quickly through Karukez and Teylar, burning much of the land and crop. Many died from the invasion, and many more died from the following famine and drought. The two cities were under Tur-Gaal control now.

When humans appeared in Year 5945, many of them were carted off from the central jungles of Tur-Gaal to work the iron mines in the north. In Year 5951, a cult formed around a blinded human named Ehnaroh. Ehnaroh claimed herself to be a fallen angel, and a soon-to-be goddess. She managed to evade the Orcish army for thirty years, spreading her beliefs across the northern part of the Empire. This spawned a new goddess in the Senlo Dei pantheon. This goddess was Ehnaroh. Ehnaroh would proceed to be reincarnated into other blind females, going down the line until Shukri.

#### Independence

The first to rule an independent city-state of Ehnaroh was Sargei T-Hah. Sargei capitalized on the fall of Tur-Gaal at the beginning of the second era, and expanded Ehnaroh from a single city to a major nation. However, Sargei's attempts to conquer the city of Aelivos failed horribly, costing much of the army and Sargei's life.

The Nation of Ehnaroh would honor Sargei by naming the capital and nation after her. And thus the chain of names started; naming the capital and country after the previous prophet-queen.

### The Second Era

#### The Coup

In Year 6250, during the rule of the weak queen Shukri of Ajod, it was revealed that she had plotted to kill Duke Kryn Liedbeune of Zolte. Although she was successful in killing his daughter, her assassination attempt on the duke himself was unsuccessful. In response, Kryn raised his banners in active rebellion against the queen and ordered his troops to occupy her palace. It was later revealed Shukri had died during the Autumnal Festival in Zolurix, and in response her regent, Sijudaan, abdicated to the rebel forces. After an interregnum lasting a few weeks, Aeberos Althem was crowned king of the country. His coronation saw him break the cycle of names that had been active during the reign of the prophet-queens, and instead shifted to naming the country after the original prophet: Ehnaroh. The capital was named Kerkath; a variation of the city's original name in Common.
