A'Ravhar

Tribe
 Previous Tribe

The Selukkite City State of a'Ravhar is one of the old reminince of the ancient Rannek terrioroty. Located in the most southern and southwest point of Ar-Selukk, it has profoundly gained the alias of 'the worlds end'. The terrain is formed of rugged canyons and cascading cliff faces which falls sharply into the sea. The majority of towns within the city state live by the sea itself; this is due to the unforgiving hot climate it emits. a'Ravhar is considered the most hotest of all terrains Ar-Selukk, and perhaps only second in the world up against the volcanic towns located in the Daggerlands. A great deal of isolation exists between settlements; but when living in a prominent Ravhari town you will come to recognise that culture still thrives and the ancient Rannek ways are still practiced.

The city state is currently under the dominion of the Yunav'ari tribe. A proud and prosperous people, easily offended but their loyalties are ever essential. Their political favours greatly lie with the Selukkite capital of Qhul-Rahav. a'Ravhar above all city states respects tradition the most. Extremist and religious people enforce the laws of the Temple Government in order to attain or restore obidience. In the past, nearly all Dherans who have governed a'Ravhar have never faltered their alliance with Qhul-Rahav; there is a direct relationship with the Vizier and the Yunav'ari tribe is fully pledged to the High Priestess, Raviyna av-Kulthanz. However, the relationship has never been as stronger than it is today. Under Dheran Khurfu yav-Sa'arav, extremist approaches against heretics who disdain Raviyna have led to futile genocides, acting out what Raviyna is renowned for. Given that the current reigning Viziers had come from a'Ravhar, Khurfu acknowledged this as a 'special relationship' with the capital, as a'Ravhar is ever dependent upon it and in return they loyaly support in favour of the Temple Governments political choices. Khurfu has now moved on to serve as an additional Vizier to Raviyna, whilst his son Raz'zan, became Dheran of a'Ravhar, following in his fathers example.

## History

The City State of a'Ravhar came to be formed when Sav-Synav gifted the land to a Sa'aravine courtier Prince who attended Temple Government during the prime of the age of balance. The Prince was known as a'Ravhar nav-Sa'arav. It was only after his death that the city state was named after him, history remembers him as Prince a'Ravhar the Great. He constructed one of the greatest cities of the age and named it Armus, now known as the lost ancestral home of the Sa'aravine family. One of the most prominant traditions of the courtier of Temple Government was founded during this age with great influence from a'Ravhar himself.

During his time on the mortal plane, a'Ravhar had secured his great dynasty in his son, and enfolded his influence of the neighbouring cities by marying off his daughter and sisters to them. However, a few years before a'Ravhar would deminish, there came the question of inheritance. a'Ravhar had always favoured his daughter, Yivara yav-Zohnech *nee yav-Sa'arav;* she had humbly accepted her fathers orders and now presides over the second greatest city in that land, Lith'aear, now known in the modern day as the Capital of a'Ravhar, a'Ravhar City. His son Castimus, on the other hand was more difficult, he was a cunning, sly, and ambitious; but his father never failed to notice this. Many consider his relationship to his children bias towards Yivara who was the eldest and most eligable woman in the land. He giving it his way would gladly pass on his inheritance to her, but he also wanted the family name to live on.

Eventually a'Ravhar the Great passed away and the region fell into chaos. Yivara gained all the inheritcance, whilst Castimus retained the citadel of Armus and swooned over the army to his side. Conviniently Yivara's husband died whilst on a diplomatic mission to Roreg Logh; here only son succeded to the Lithaearian throne. At the same time Yivara was concerned for her welfare and the state, and therefore she offered her brother to wed one another in order to share the inheritance of their father. Though controversial, the act of inter-family relations was not obscene in the old Rannek Territory. The Sa'aravine also have a tendency to brag about their purity in Selukkite tradition. Eventually they both gained two sons, the eldest being named after their grandfather, a'Ravhar. For the remainder of the Age of Balance the family ruled over the region as a Principality until the courtier tradition fell and hence forth rulled as a tribe under the Yunav'ari people. This layed way for the story of the formation of the Yunav'ari tribe.
