Fizanira
The Kingdom of Fizanira was founded in 862 by Pasar Naghal when they seceded from the Ebdimid Empire due to religious and political reasons, mainly due to the Kekkeshan religion being the dominate religion of the Azani Valley. Pasar Naghal was a prominent lord of the area and was the most powerful figure of the Kekkeshan faith within the Ebdimid Empire, campaigning for more representation and power of Kekkeshanist believers. When the Empire began to attempt to militarize the region in order to prevent more unrest, various Kekkeshanist deacons organized into coalitions to fight the militarization, notably the Khalupine Order, the Shafan Kon Order, the Setara Order and the Hadasman Order. Pasar joined them and became the head of the coalition, organizing them further into what would become the foundations of Fizanira, the movement was very much opposed by Kekkeshanist priests but became compliant with the actions. More and more cities and regions joined the Fizanid movement and Pasar officially annouced the Kingdom of Fizanira in 862 when Ebdimid soldiers fully withdrew from the Azani Valley and the Pikhtan War (862-869).
History
Years of Recovery (867-880)
After the Pikhtan War came to a stalemate in 867, it allowed for national focuses to be shifted towards recovery from the economic collapses during the slow fall of the Ebdimid Empire. Pasar focused on firmly establishing himself as ruler by founding the Parliament of Order. comprised of Kekkeshanist deacons, economic and political advisors, and lords. An unspoken dynamic arose within the parliament were the deacons acted as purely military leaders influenced by their priests, but were extreme loyalists to Pasar, voting in favor of each policy he would enact and since the deacons held a proportional majority within the parliament it allowed Pasar to rule nearly unchallenged. Pasar had efforts focused on rebuilding cities and establishing trade with nearby nations, turning his sights to the exploits of the great oceans and the lost prospects in the Kammai Peninsula. In 870 Pasar would send a fleet along with a few envoys to the Kammai Empire on the Kammai Peninsula and request the return of port rights to the Fizanids that once belonged to the Ebdimids, the Kammaids denied due to having made a deal with the Weida Federation granting them exclusive rights over ports in Kammai territory. The Fizanids escalated by dealing with the Pabitran rebels and deployed the fleet on the city of Katal, securing the harbor and taking Weidan merchants, guards and Kammaid citizens hostage in order to have leverage in a new deal, but this escalation backfired and began a war that would last eight years. Those grueling years soon came to an end and a deal was made between the Kammai, the Weida and the Fizanids to form a balanced deal with the Weida and Fizanids being granted exclusive rights for five ports each and dominion over certain trades as to not create competition. This new trade made the Fizanids rich as it connected them to the Samasian world and the sphere of the Jin'Fu Dynasty. The new economic boom made coastal cities of Fizanira rapidly develop into trade capitals and Pasar used taxes and his personal incomes to invest into various businesses, giving the crown a swath of money that solidified the power and fully centralized the Kingdom. No business went unlinked by some extension to the crown and the lords and deacons bathed in riches.
