**Rudralagun** (Ramadhasani: रुद्रलागुन, *Rudralaagun*), officially the **Blessed Empire of Rudralagun** (Ramadhasani: रुद्रलागुन धन्य साम्राज्य, *Rudralaagun Dhany Saamraajy*), is a country in southern Pangaea that occupies nearly the entirety of the Navasvargan Expanse, which spans the western coasts of the Gulf of Tevana from the westerly Peth Kush Mountains to the easterly Shekh Mountains in addition to the northern Silalah Mountains on the border with Pathantusstan. It is one of the largest countries on Pangaea both in population and land area, and is the largest monarchy in the world. It is bordered by Pathantusstan to the north and the Kingdom of Siali to the southwest, with the Unitary Republic of Kote lying off the southern shores of the Blessed Empire across the Kote Straits.

*Homo sapiens* arrived to the Navasvargan Expanse over fifty thousand years ago and established some of the oldest signs of human civilization on Pangaea, such as the ruins of the Bhawan River Civilization outside of the riverside city of Manuguru and along the banks of the Bhawan River. Although the genealogical identity of the Bhawanese are unknown, it is confirmed that the Amhatians arrived to the continent after the fall of the Bhawan River Civilization and established the earliest polities in Navasvarga within its southern tropical regions. Shando-Asterians arrived to Navasvarga over two thousands years ago and split the Expanse between the novel Shandic and established Amhatic civilizations. The Shandic people groups also proliferated the proto-Uddharakan polytheistic religion into the Navasvargan Expanse, further crystallizing their presence.

A multitude of Shandian and Amhatian monarchies grew and prospered along the Navasvargan Expanse thanks to its presence as a major trading route between the distant east and west portions of Pangaea. The first major polity to rise in the expanse was the Vadanya Empire, an autocratic Shandian confederation and thalassocracy that dominated the northern and central coasts of Navasvarga in the 6th century BCE. Although it collapsed due to internal strife following the death of its last monarch, this polity would establish the precedent of powerful Navasvargan empires to rise throughout the rest of history.

The rise of the Barakahic faith east of Navasvarga and the invasions of the Sidun Caliphate into the northern Expanse in the seventh century displaced Uddharakanism within the Shandian population as the chief religion in the area. The establishment of the Khanna Sultanate and its expansion throughout the Navasvargan Expanse ultimately resulted in the creation of the Indrota Caliphate and the formation of the first Navasvargan empire through the Indrotan invasion of Amhatian kingdoms to the south.

The Indrota Caliphate lasted until the twelfth century, where a massive civil war resulted in the Caliphate's fragmentation and the return of Navasvarga into a land of multiple *rajas, maharajas,* and *sultans*. It would not be until the sixteenth century where the Rudralagun Raj would rise in power from the city of Basantapur and blossom in power from the usage of novel military tactics and technologies, thus leading to the establishment of the extant Blessed Empire of Rudralagun.
