Unified Kindom
The unified kingdom is the kingdom comprised of the kingdoms of Aurukshuk and Shayanaha.
Structure
The Unified kingdom is ruled by the Dalkndalk who has a small army of his own as well as his own court and he rules in a very hands-off way. The kingdoms of Aurukshuk and Shayanaha are still kingdoms in their own right, though the Dalkndalk rules over them and they are obliged to pay him taxes, tribute, sacrifices and wives as well as abiding his laws and staying loyal to him. The Dalkndalk has a "divine right" to rule as he is considered to be a Chugui in human form.
Assets
Dragon products. Each of the two lesser kings have a tame brontodragon and the Dalkndalk has two. These massive dragons shed all of their huge mammalian teeth once a year throughout the entire year. That, along with their dung and and dragon fire (the cumbustable liquid that they shoot. Further reading here) bring the kingdom the insane wealth every year.
The Unified kingdom also has a large share in the horse trade and the camel trade. Along with these, it has a strong professional military.
History
Aurukshuk and Shayanaha united for an unknown circumstance that is thought to have been as a result of repeated invasions and raids of a coalition of northern nomadic tribes that had an impressive number of centaurs and even a brontodragon. This caused them to realize that they wouldn't last long if they stayed divided and only played the northern invaders against each other so they decided to unite instead of fight and to play the invaders against each using their combined resources. One of their most ambitious military men, a human-manderthal hybrid who came from a disputed territory between the two kingdoms was pressed into service in the Arukshukana army and with much struggle due to the "racism" between the species and his hybridic heritage he managed to become a commander and with the guidance of the Chugui of war and death, Adolmit, he won evry single battle, established himself as the Dalkndalk and the rest is history.
Another version drops this curious character and claims that there was an ordinary alliance between the kings and that since the war was dredging on and they both wanted to make sure that there no backstabbing, one donated one of his daughters and the other donated one of his sons to the cause and they made them divine rulers so that the union will be official, legitimate and lasting.
There is another story that claims that it was because they feared that they would be conquered by the new and emerging Mankan Empire.
It's unknown which is the correct version but the result is that two kingdoms that should have been hating each other united and installed the divine Dalkndalk.
Technological Level
The Unified Kingdom is only slightly behind the Tri-River city-states from a technological standpoint. they can make good steel and they know how to heat treat it properly, but they only learned how to make crucible steel at the very the end of the 2nd century A.B when they got it from the Berini.
