The Lordship Down the DhenbasanaThe city of Dhenijansar was once governed by local rulers, but in 1250 AA it was captured by the emerging power of Durasidheni, the kingdom that would go on to found the Second Harimraj. Dhenijansar and its Golden Palace were taken as the personal seat of the Raja, but the city outskirts of Durdhinana were left to various local barons and governors who styled themselves the "Lords of Dhenijansar despite having no control over the city proper. These governors were most notable for their regular denouncements of the city of Dhenijansar as elitist and uncaring for those in the outlying regions, and their speeches always alluded to a day when the city and its outskirts would be united.

A Lotus Claw as Any OtherIn 1408 AA, Amanapurna II elevated his cousin Ganyakanar to be Lord of Dhenijansar and the associated province of Durdhinana. A former adventurer and skilled administrator, Ganyakanar descended from Shurapalar the Radiant through the maternal line, and the partnership between Amanapurna and Ganyakanar was seen as a reconciliation of family branches that had been estranged only one generation prior during the Brother’s War. When Amanapurna II succumbed to the Smothering Sickness, many supported Ganyakanar as his successor, but scheming by corrupt ministers saw Vijayswanath take the throne instead. Despite these setbacks, Ganyakanar was favored by many as the legitimate successor to the lotus throne, and his branch of the Lotus Claw family as the rightful Rajas..

Each Man A SpearMany of those who find living in Dhenijansar insufferable wind their way down the river to one of the many villages in Durdhinana. These folk, often humans incapable of affording exorbitant rents in the city, have long been a labor and military source for the suburbs, which reject the strict caste guidelines that would bar them from officer positions and most military postings. While this practice draws mutterings of disapproval from some, we know that it is far better to use the tools we have and take a pragmatic stance on human military service.

Bowmen of RahenDuring the heights of the Siadúnan Matriarchy, the harpy raiders of Ištara Ivoryfeather ranged as far as the walls of Dhenijansar itself, demanding tribute and slaves for their foul purposes. To defend against these winged brigands, archery drills became mandatory for all men of fighting age, and the garrisons of Dhenijansar continue to hone their skill and precision in bowmanship long after the collapse of harpy hegemony in western Rahen.

A New AdministrationDuring the reforms of Amanapura II, many of our administrators were given a thorough education befitting advisors to a member of the Lotus Claw dynasty. These teachings have become our curriculum for all students, rather than those of the corrupt schools that produce ministers in the rest of the Raj. This has ensured a more morally upright civil service than that which has often plagued the rest of Rahen.

Citadel of DhavigaBefore the coming of Jaher, the storied Kingdom of Dhaviga ruled Inner Rahen from the Citadel of Dhurajilala. The polished marble walls of the citadel loomed over Durdhinana, and at sunset they reflected the many hues of the shifting rainbow sky in a storied display that would draw in the inhabitants of the countryside to watch. Long since past its prime, the fort is still a majestic and strong defensive position that is used to guard our lands, and we have learned much in how to man and maintain fortifications from the long history of defending Dhurajilala.

Brinaj TulaThough we cannot match the cotton lords of Amtujsaat in economic power or quantity of cotton, we surpass them in creativity. Pressing the cotton seeds into an oil and combining them with cumin, coriander, and shredded eggplant produces a delectably sweet condiment to put into curries and other cuisines. This condiment, Brinaj Tula, is well-loved in the Dhenabasana cities, and the best of it is made in Durdhinana.
