## Khazâd Empire

Khâzad Empire flag

After the end of the Second War of the Dwarves and Orcs, Narvi (MainTeemoTank) assumed the throne of the empire becoming the Uzbad.

By mid-July 2019 Narvi began a series of changes to the empire to bring the Dwarves back to their former glory and end the crisis that the empire was undergoing.

under a concept of renewal and change, Narvi sealed a defensive pact with Western Reunited Eldar (WRE), and after doing so, set up a series of new laws for the Dwarves; a new flag was raised as a symbol of the empire, some elements caught the eye on the flag, in the center there is a symbol that is completely symmetrical which was identical to the symbol on Thror's throne, representing prosperity, above could be seen the representation of Arkenstone the magnificent jewel of the dwarven kings, which represented order, and more above could be observed 3 stars, these represented the union of the 3 dwarf factions (Blue Mountains, Durin's Folk and Red Mountains), and this became the triad of values ​​of the Dwarf empire: Prosperity, Order and Union.

from that day onwards the empire of Khazâdul II came to be known as the Khazâd Empire (KZE).

On August 7, Narvi died leaving his throne to his son Uri VII.

## **Old Khazâdul Empire**

### **The united Dwarven Kingdom (Khazâdul)**

Formed by Gamil Frerin (HOSTIS) that unified Durin's Folk with Blue Mountains Dwarves. His successor, Fili (MarsonX), extended the Empire‘s Dominion to the Elvish Kingdom of Lothlórien and Dale.

In final days of May 2018, after months of Dwarven domination, kingdom of Lothlórien became independent.

In 6 June, the Blue Mountains, one of the founder Kingdom, abandoned the Khazadul Empire in favor of independence.

Khazâdul was allied with "Dor en Anbor y Ithil" and also with Crebain Federation for some time.

The capital was set in Khazad-dûm.

### **Reformed Khazâdul Empire (Khazâdul II)**

The Khazadul Empire was recreated by Durin VII (HOSTIS) during the end of December 2018 since it was dissolved and he wanted to unite the Dwarves once again. Shortly after the reform, the Empire had a new emperor, Thorin (Stasky). He ruled for a while, but not for long. Then came Dain IV (TheBetaOwl) who was given the throne by his father Thorin and he became the Uzbad. His presence made the dwarves active again. The Khazadul Empire maintained good relations with Forodrim Ardhin, although it was hostile to the Empire Of Gondor, after some time as Uzbad, Dain IV was deposed from the throne, a number of leadership changes were made until the throne was passed to Nargrec I (Beleg\_the\_elf) who led the Dwarves on the start of the colonization of the east of Ered Engrin and to the Second War of the Dwarves and Orcs. Nargrec I ruled the dwarves for a short time, due to his suddenly death in the Battle of Ulukesh, leaving the throne for Narvi (MainTeemoTank). Years later Narvi gave the throne to Úri (Mainteemotank) who ruled for a while but not for long. Because he had a civil war on his hands. Because he couldn't handle the pain and stress anymore, he decided to get an old friend back from exile. This friend was Dain IV (TheBetaOwl). Úri (Mainteemotank) Gave his emperor-ship to him and from now on Dain IV (TheBetaOwl) was ruler of Khazadul for once more. Until he resigned years later to exile himself for good in Thorin's Halls.After that king Stannis (Odin Haddock) of Durin's Folk assumed the emperor-ship of Khazadul. Now someone new has taken the throne. Someone not from Durin's Line. His name is Frar , former High Lord of Ered Mithrin.

After a short period of time, due to health problems Frar ceded the throne to his son Azaghal II (Chetnik4c).
