Nandór Confederation

The Nandór Confederation, often referred to as just Nandór, is a country in the subcontinent of Nándor and within the continent of Syltör. It borders the Aurlûnor Velande and Deutzan to the north, and borders Alda to the south. Most of Nandór is covered by the Ashuran Desert, though it also contains lusher regions. Its most populated city is Tyalu. Nandór is comprised of 3 member states: Ashura, Kraken Isles, and Hiarlliia. Ashura can be further broken down into the provinces of Ashura Proper, Hampo, and Amakiir. Nandór is primarily inhabited by the Ashurans, the Hiarllians, and the Kumihos. However, there are also many other groups living throughout Nandór.

Nandór is ruled by Pharaoh Gildun Avaros Salah Amakiir, who along with running the member state of Ashura, officially wields absolute power as the confederation's monarch. However, Hiarliia and Kraken Isles also have their own leaders, and they hold strong levels of autonomy within the confederation.

Name
The Nandór Confederation takes its name from Nándor, the subcontinent and peninsula of which it is a part of. Nándor is originally an Aurlûnoren word meaning "southland", and derives from a mixture of the Dawouic word Nánxi and the Almadorian word -dori.

Ancient Nandór
Ancient Nandór covers the period of history roughly between 6,600 BCA to 200 ACA, during which the region was dominated by the Kingdom of Almador and the early dominions of Ashura.

Hundred Armies Period
The Hundred Armies Period lasts from 200 ACA to 855 ACA. It is named after the many rapid conquests of the Nándor region by foreign forces during this period. Reliable records during this time period are sparse. This is because, due to the sudden collapse of the Ashuran and Hampo governments, few firsthand accounts were recorded at this time, except for ones by the invaders, which are generally untrustworthy.
