History

The United Ganassam Kingdoms

The United Ganassam Kingdoms was formed in 907 after the monarch Areno Pakigaka of Soyeqarelef Omolebenemi Ganassam proposed a unification to the other small kingdoms along the Ganassam, which aimed to improve the overall economy and military. The monarchs of the kingdoms agreed, officially forming the United Ganassam Kingdoms. The capital was selected as Fenelef Omolebenemi Ganassam, as it was the largest of all the towns along the Ganassam. The city was renamed to Fenonas.

Intrigued by the power of the union, the city-state of Hajim found interest in joining. Initially, the union was hesitant to allow them to join, due to the amount of unpopulated land between the Ganassam and Hajim. Hajim was let in when they proposed to build and maintain a road between Fenonas and Hajim in 912.

The New Ganassam Kingdom

The New Ganassam Kingdom was formed by general Kokal Tedjani after he lead a coup against king Felal Bitha in 1200, worrying that the Bitha family was too power-hungry and aggressive and would make bad decisions, leading to chaos. Kokal Tedjani became the new king following the successful coup, in which the royal palace was raided and Felal Bitha and his brother were captured and imprisoned.

The Kingdom of Raqar

The Kingdom of Raqar was formed in 1493 when ___ passed the title of king to Koyeho Paqa, who proposed that the Kingdom of Batamqar united with the New Ganassam Kingdom. The proposal was accepted, creating the kingdom of Raqar, with Koyeho Paqa as its first emperor. The country pentupled in size, due to Batamqar being very large, although sparse.

The Kindom of Ra Yahan wanted to join the union, however, being very sparse and impoverished, they did not have much to offer to the union. Thus, their request was rejected. Ra Yahan was not let into the union until 1717, when large mineral deposits were discovered in the country, and Raqar let them in as they would benefit the mining industry.
