Jakeh'adh

Jakeh'adh Province is a subregion of the Emirate of Najer. It has the highest overall population of any province, courtesy of many of it's cities being very large. It also contains much beautiful wilderness and smaller builds such as ranches and farms.

History
Jakeh'adh first existed as part of the Sterling Crownlands as the territory of Najer, although the land was unincorporated at the time. It was part of the largest unbroken swaths of the Wandering Desert, a land inhabited by only nomads for many hundreds of years.

As time went on, the area would gain more permanent structures, and would become recognized as the Central Najer territory around 25 AB. The Dead Kings Tavern and the town site of Naduunta were two of the earliest locations, and as time went on, more villages would be founded. The towns of Pomjad and Mirwa were founded by refugees and the Taurosists, respectively. Murmudas and Raidahmah were two other towns founded in the area.

The first governor of Jakeh'adh was Ironjaw, (Ironjaw607) a shulkite mutant who ran a farm on the southern edge of the territory. He was chosen by an election in 32 AB. His first major act was the Sicaria-Central border purchase, which ceded some Jakeh'adh territory to it's neighbor province, equalizing the size of both. Later, he would go on to invite the Order of the Red Quarterstaff to his land after they were expelled from Floramia. They settled on a peninsula in the north, founding the fortress-city of Campus Ordo in 37 AB.

Two years after this, a wandering nomad discovered an ancient ruined city known as Nahrayn. He launched a massive reconstruction campaign, rebuilding the city and turning it into one of the largest settlements in Najer. This discovery would lead Ironjaw to pass the governorship to the founder of Nahrayn, Hirudo, around 43 AB.

Hirudo's governorship would see the organization of Jakeh'adh forces during the War of Solitudinem, the resettlement of Pomjad in 47 AB, and the entry of Najer into the Sapphire Commonwealth. Shortly after, the Emir of Najer, Dmitrio von Sturgeon, passed away. Hirudo became the next Emir, and selected Azzar of the Order of the Red Quarterstaff to take his place. It was during this time that the province was renamed from Central Najer to Jakeh'adh.
