Ashkavar

Ashkavar, offically the Great Ashkavari Korqoriat, is a meritocratic monarchy, backed by a constitution but reseting most of its powers in the Karaqhor.

History
The people of Ashkavar have always lived in Abexilas, in the hinterlands, beyond the mapped land where the mountains climb into the sky, and the steppe crawls eternal into the horizon. The Kavars were once a proud and mighty people, but 200 years since Archeig lead the tribes across the white sea, much has transpired. Forty years ago, civil war caused irreparable damage to the confederation, the two largest Qashi, Qash Yekina and Qash Hashkar formed coalitions between themselves. Many of the smaller Qashi were forced to make a tough decision and the fighting resulted in the deaths of thousands. Qash Ashkavar fought on the side of the Hashkar Coalition, and took part in a disastrous battle which lead to the destruction of Qash Hashkar, and the end of the civil war. While many of the rebel clans were returned, things would never quite be the same. Facing persecution, dishonourable work, and a lack of respect, something had to change.

The Ashkavari are on the move, a blood feud with the exalted Matriarch of Kavaria, of Qash Yekina, has resulted in the Ashkavari Qashs' exile from the Korqoriat. After a failed assassination attempt on his life, Kizilqash Haroun of Qash Ashkavar, would take his bloody hand, and plant it squarely on his chest. This symbol of the red hand would be the new symbol of Qash Ashkavar. This symbol has become the mark of a movement, a great divide of the Kavar people between the traditional Kavari Korqoriat, and the new Ashkavari Korqoriat. Many of Kavaria's dissidents, intellectuals, and the ambitious have joined the long march to find a homeland. One where the people can settle for eternally, with no more need for migration. However, it will not be as easy as it may seem to find this homeland, already Ashkavari scouts report that the envoys of other "nations" are scouring the land. It seems that the Ashkavari are in a larger race for land.
