The United Sunyi Kingdoms

Because of the harsh desert climate, most of these kingdoms are around oases. All of these kingdoms share an agreement. If one kingdom was in peril, all would fight for them. This made the Sunyi Kingdoms a powerful alliance. Five kingdoms, all willing to fight for one another.

## Story

Five kingdoms were formed after the collapse of the Draconic Empire. Unlike in other areas, all here shared a sense of camaraderie for fighting off Zorvak, The Thunder, Servant of Rahn, a dragon who should not have died at the hands of these people. It is because of this these five kingdoms all made an agreement, the Alliance of the Sunyi or Muhadat Almuk. This alliance stated that if any ruler declared war, all the kingdoms would. They would defend each other without question. This is why they still stand despite their weakening influence.

### Muhadat Almuk

The Muhadat Almuk, also known as the **Pact of Five**, was formed centuries ago between the five kingdoms of the Sunyian people. While it started as a simple agreement to provide mutual defense and protection, it has evolved into a complex system of laws and alliances that has shaped the course of Sunyian history.

> *"The Muhadat Almuk is a sacred bond, a solemn pledge that we five of the five kingdoms have taken upon ourselves to uphold and defend.*
>
>
> *Firstly, we five of the five kingdoms swear to offer military aid and protection to any Sunyian Kingdom that calls upon us in times of need. We pledge to stand by our brothers and sisters in solidarity and to put our own interests aside for the greater good.*
>
>
> *Secondly, we five of the five kingdoms vow to safeguard the people of our fellow kingdoms as if they were our own. We recognize that the welfare of all is intertwined, and that by protecting each other, we strengthen our collective resilience.*
>
>
> *Thirdly, we five of the five kingdoms pledge never to engage in war against another Sunyian Kingdom. We acknowledge that conflict only begets more conflict, and that a peaceful and stable region benefits us all.*
>
>
> *Fourthly, we five of the five kingdoms swear never to enter into an alliance with another kingdom without the unanimous agreement of all five kingdoms. We recognize that our bond is sacred and that any actions that undermine its integrity will have dire consequences.*
>
>
> *Finally, we five of the five kingdoms pledge to relinquish our thrones should any one of these rules be broken. We understand the gravity of our commitment and the importance of upholding it for the sake of our people, our kingdoms, and the Sunyian region as a whole.*
>
>
>
> *We five of five kingdoms hereby give our word to protect and defend our brothers and sisters until the end of time. Even when time ceases our hearts will beat with camaraderie in Dalakar. Through the darkness, we will fight and through the light, we will defend. We five of five kingdoms will fight as one, and die as one. May the winds of the dunes bear witness to our oath, and may the gods guide us in upholding this sacred bond until the end of time."*

## Society

The United Sunyi Kingdoms may be weakening each day they still live extravagant lives. They are decorated in gold and bathe in wine (that’s a hyperbole). Some may call this wasteful but the Sunyi call it life. They respect their leadership and the armies that fight for them. Any civilian would gladly pick up a sword and fight for these kingdoms if asked. The Kingdoms may seem weak to any outsiders but the people are anything but.

Here leadership is passed to the firstborn despite gender. They also allow same-sex relations with marriages being allowed in all kingdoms. One thing that is not respected here is bastards, because of their worship of both Cahaya Sol and Purian Istenek they are considered a dishonor. This is why they are branded at birth, considered an ill omen.

Though once the Sunyi dunes and the Suyan Desert were connected ever they share little to not similarities. They both speak semi-similar languages and have similar ethnic groups within them but that’s where the similarities cease. Despite this, all know the Kerejaan Suya wish to connect the mighty desert once more. The Sunyi want anything but this.
