Magudaria

**Magudaria** (Officially the **Magudari Republic of Markaz**, Magudari: Malikasra /maɺikasɾa/, /malikaʃɹa, -aʃta/, from Markazi + Magudari suffix -ara "Land") is a country in western Ukes, bordering Danellia to the west, Bazia to the north, Ovulangea and Thorilov to the east, and Situresk to the south. The Magudari originated as refugees from southern Moruna Motevuni after it was conquered by Moruna Kamanakerita and set sail for the southeast on outrigger canoes around 534 A.D. Originally landing in Saeoria, the Magudari settled there for a while, and partially assimilated into Saeorian culture. For their aid in the Saeorian Reconquista, they were granted significant land in the Viceroyalty of Iskandar, and ultimately became the predominant group there, gaining independence alongside the Viceroyalty of Danellia in 1769 to become the independent country of Magudaria. Their capital is Iskandar, the historic capital of the Markazi Empire.

## History

### Ancient History (Before 13th century BC) [Work In Progress]

The region of modern-day Magudaria has some of the oldest records of civilisation outside of the Maximedian Lakes. Around [placeholder date] Iskandar (Magudari: Sakandara) was founded, the country's capital to this day, and around 1200 BC the city-state of Iskandar started expanding to what would become the Markazi empire.

### Markazi Period (1204-381 BC)

*Main articles: Markazi Empire, Western Wars*

In 1204 BC, the city-state of Iskandar started subjugating a number of nearby smaller cities, Which is commonly considered as the start of the Markazi empire. For about 300 years, the empire mostly expanded on the coast, rarely venturing farther inland, and in turn developed a strong naval tradition, even colonising some of the islands of modern Danellia. In 887 BC, the first major invasion inland began, which marked the start of a period of greater Markazi expansion inland, Lasting until the 6th century BC. In the late 7th or early 6th century BC, the Markazi empire came into contact with the Kori empire, and they quickly came into conflict around the western Maximedian Lakes, and this conflict culminated in the First Western War in 548 when Korsus attacked the Artegian tribes, who were Markazi tributaries at the time, this war resulted in a loss for the Markazi empire and Korsus annexing most of Artegia. Relations remained hot between the two empires until the Second and Third Western Wars in the 5th century, the Second Western War was a slight Markazi victory, but the Third was a major defeat, resulting in most Markazi land being annexed by Korsus. The empire remained weak until the Fourth Western War in 381 BC, whereafter the remaining territories were annexed, although not before many refugees fled Iskandar, eventually founding the state of Saeoria to the west.

### Kori Period (-434-30 AD)

Most of modern Magudaria was part of the Kori empire after the Fourth Western War ended in 434 BC, and in 381 BC the last Markazi remnants came under Kori control after the siege of Iskandar. The city of Iskandar was sacked, and suffered in the years immediately following the Siege, although it was later rebuilt by Korsus and used as a western trading port, which brought some wealth back to the region. Around 30 AD, after the chaos brought on by the Recession of 54 BC, Kori rule faded in the lands of modern Magudaria, which were taken over by various warlords claiming to be successors to the Kori or Markazi empires, as well as from various tribal peoples from the surrounding lands.

### Early Medieval Period (30-852 AD) [Work In Progress]

After Kori power in the region collapsed, various warlord states appeared throughout Magudaria. In 92 AD Aliku XII unified much of Northern Magudaria and Southern Bazia into the First Kingdom of Bazia, and in 103 AD Bæso VI founded the Kingdom of Iskandar, surrounding the city of Iskandar.

### Saeorian Reconquista (852-11th century AD)

*Main Article: Saeorian Reconquista*

In the 9th century AD the Saeorian Reconquistas begun, with the Saeorians, descended from the ancient Markazi empire, invading the mainland to reclaim what they saw as their ancestral homeland, and it was during this invasion that the Magudari, who'd been living in Saeoria for c. 300 years, first arrived in modern Magudaria. In 852 the First Saeorian Reconquista began, which resulted in in the reconquest of the Danelli Islands and a few minor coastal areas, which became the viceroyalty of Danellia. Five years later, in 857 the Second Saeorian Reconquista began, which resulted in the capture of Iskandar and the surrounding areas, which were awarded to the Magudari in return for their aid in the war as the Viceroyalty of Iskandar. The viceroyalty expanded farther in the Third Saeorian Reconquista, but the Fourth was a failure after the ambush and death of Danell the great. The viceroyalties of Iskandar and Danellia expanded in various minor wars until the early 11th century, when Danellia reached it's modern borders, although Magudaria was still largely confined to the coast.

### Late Medieval Period (11th-15th centuries AD) [Work In Progress]

Magudaria remained part of the Saeorian empire as the Viceroyalty of Iskandar throughout the rest of the Medieval period.

### Early Modern Period (17th-19th centuries AD) [Work In Progress]

In the mid 18th century the Viceroyalty of Iskandar became independent from Saeoria, originally as the Magudari Kindom or Kingdom of Iskandar. In the early 19th century a revolution overthrew the king, and founded the First Magudari Republic.
