Monarchs of Kairan

Kairan, despite being the homeland of the Arashin, never proved to be the most influential of the pre-Imperial Arashin states. Nonetheless, it was by no means the least important, as it served as the spiritual capital of the Arashin culture, with it's later kings also serving as High-Priests of the Ishitic faith, at least in the Kairani rite, before the establishment of the First Empire.

## Kings of Kairan (255 - 1033)

For nearly 800 years, Kairan operated as an independent state, protected to the north and east by the Varakait mountains and to the south by the Khatari range. Before it arose, the state was made up of *several* smaller independent principalities and petty-kingdoms, with the rulers of the Principality of Itil uniting it by 255.

### *Interregnum (503 - 517)*

Between the death of Varen II and the rise of Atar III, the Kingdom of Kairan fell into disarray as rival factions sought to rule. Despite this, none were able to take over, with the crisis being put to an end in 517 by a vote among the state's vassals.

### *The Second Interregnum and the Priest-Kings of Kairan (914 - 1033)*

With the death of Esik IV, Kairan would pass into a second period of interregnum, lasting from 914 to 919. After this, the Ishitic Priesthood seized power within the state, transforming Kairan into a theocracy under a line of Priest-Kings, a period which saw a rise in the influence of the Kairani state in Ikhan, although it never became the most prominent. During this period, a multitude of people ruled the state, elected from among the Clans and prominent families of the region.

## Dukes of Kairan (1053 - 1476)

With the establishment of the Empire of Ikhan, the old order in Kairan was overthrown. In its place, the Emperor appointed first the head of Clan Tsakal as the Duke of Kairan, noting the clan's past possession over the title. This period would last until the 15th century, when the clan laid claim to the throne during the Interregnum. As with the other clans, the numerals affixed to their names denoting which ruler they were had been reset.
