Asghrat Empire
The Asghrat Empire was a large Empire spanning across the Khedaran coast and Asghrat Desert of Sefit that lasted from 272-419.
History
The Asghrat Empire was formed in 272 by Tiyanzit Azrucult after reorganizing the structure of the monarchy of the Tazedya Kingdom, incorporating the Erbean clans, the Isennanen kings and introducing the Akersitax council. This reorganization and proclamation of the Azrucult family as the Imperial family of the Asghrat, formed the Empire. The reorganization and foundation of the Akersitax council were to incorporate the newly conquered and assimilated territories.
The Erdicho War was a conflict fought from the years 399-412 between the Asghrat Empire, the Ainumet Empire and the Aetasian Empire. The conflict started due to dispute over which authorities had domain over the Erdicho sea, and over what trade. The Ainumet and Asghrat Empire's formed a collaborative sphere colloquial known as the Sefitian Sphere, and the Aestasian Empire formed their own sphere of influence known as the Aetasian Sphere, they used these spheres of cultural and economical influence to battle for authority of trade and influence in the Erdicho and each spheres also participated in proxy wars in Ardhan and Voreia. The tensions that rose during this war of influence came to a culmination in 407, when an Asghrat fleet invaded the port city of Pesium on the Litora isle.

Disbandment
The Asghrat Empire collapsed in the year 419 after the Myrtilos War (399-412), the war ended in an overall stalemate but the cost of the war was detrimental to the Asghrat monarchy. Emperor Azewan attempted to avoid the financial crisis by taking loans from local lords and merchants, but when investments into trade did not create enough profit it instead created a hostile dynamic between the lords and the central monarchy. Many merchants and Lords began to cooperate with the Biadabi Horde, which had been raiding the southern border and the desert of the Asghrat territories, many lords began to give tribute to the Daneni in exchange for not being raided, and the influence of Emperor Azewan waned, becoming concentrated only in the capital city of Zatine and its greater region. After continuous raiding by the Biadabi Horde and more and more secession from lords and influential merchants, the debt the monarchy owed grew larger. In 419, Azewan made his final edict, dictating the dissolution of the empire and the reorganization of the monarchy into the state of Albar with only Zatine and coastal cities in it's dominion. This edict was largely unpopular, and hated by the merchants who Azewan was indebted to because it dissolved him of his debt. The merchants created the Annesid Guild, a guild of merchants and lords of the Asghrat settlements who paid tribute to the Biadabi Horde, who wanted to claim the money Azewan and the Azrucult family owes them in response.
