Imperial House of Ikhan

Sigil of Clan Sherkoz

The **Imperial House of Ikhan**, also referred to as the **Imperial Family**, the **House of Vahram**,the **Sherkoz Dynasty**, or **Clan Sherkoz**, comprises the members of the extended family of the reigning Eshva who undertake official and public duties. It is currently led by Esik I ve Sherkoz, the reigning Eshva of Ikhan.

The Arashin Monarchy has, in it's current form, survived for 544 years, though by it's descent from Clan Hailun's Khorai I, it has survived since 1042 CE, or around 978 years.

For one reason or another, there is little remaining evidence for the emperors between Arkan I and Khorai II, thus leading to them being treated as unrecognized.
