State of SurvivalIn the turbulent mid-15th century, the nascent kingdom of Parraj found itself besieged by adversaries and opportunists eager to fragment its territories and obliterate the fragile peace it had barely maintained. It was a time when the sagacious rulers of the Flower Oath dynasty adopted a shrewd diplomatic stance. They skillfully navigated the treacherous political landscape by pitting the formidable domains of Sarnavan and Rajnadhaga against one another. Simultaneously, they forged strategic alliances with their kin to the west, ensuring a balance of power that would safeguard their sovereignty and the realm’s future.\n\nThis period marked a critical juncture for Parraj, as the Flower Oath dynasty’s leaders demonstrated remarkable foresight and adaptability. Their diplomatic endeavors were not merely reactive but were part of a grander strategy to establish Parraj as a pivotal player in the regional power dynamics. By leveraging their geographical position and the competing interests of their neighbors, they managed to create a buffer zone that deterred direct conflicts and fostered a period of relative stability and prosperity within their borders. The legacy of the Flower Oath dynasty’s diplomacy is a testament to the enduring power of pragmatism and strategic alliance-building in the face of overwhelming odds.

Reinstitute Harimari LawThe so-called ‘heroes’ of the North were a thorn in the side of any ruler striving for a stable government, opposing them with their dogmatic doctrines. They sought not mere coexistence but dominance, demanding that laws conform to their desires. Under the reign of Harimar the Great, such defiance was met with swift retribution. This iron-fisted approach set the precedent for Parraj’s stance on dissent; submit or face severe consequences. This policy of uncompromising authority aimed to quell uprisings and maintain order within the realm.

The Steel Claw GuardSteel Claw Guard marked a historic milestone as the North’s inaugural permanent standing army. Initially a modest regiment, its members were meticulously selected for their staunch loyalty to the crown. Equipped with thirty formidable ‘Bush Cannons’ and supported by a ‘Charger’ battalion, Regiment Steel Claw was a force to be reckoned with. The Charger’s strategy involved a rapid frontal assault to disrupt the enemy lines, followed by a tactical withdrawal, setting the stage for the concealed Bush Cannons to decimate the disordered pursuers.\n\n The regiment’s prowess was notably enhanced during the Shamakhad campaign of The Great Command, where it expanded into a full Guard unit with additional cannons and chargers. Despite their valiant efforts to stem the Hobgoblin onslaught, the fall of the capital forced the Steel Claw Guard to carve a path out of the besieged realm. Some surviving elements eventually reached Babhagama, offering their battle-hardened expertise to the Senapti, thus continuing their legacy in a new realm.

The Flowering OathAmidst Rampalar the Reunifier’s quest to reclaim Shamakhad for the Harimraj, the Flower Oath Dynasty’s descendants were tasked with forging a new domain and rallying local army support. Their adept governance was marked by elevating allies, quelling dissent through financial persuasion and restricting public assemblies, and suppressing insurgent commoners and freebooters.\n\n For their governance prowess, Anrivadya II, offspring of Babhagama’s Senapti, was honored with the governorship of Middle Nadimraj and Sanihanpur, and as Shamakhad’s interim governor until a loyalist administration could be established. However, following the Battle of The Flowing Fields and the death of Rampalar, the northern endeavor was forsaken. While many retreated, Anrivadya’s effective policies had earned the people’s trust, compelling them to beseech him to remain as their guardian.

Artifacts of Old ParrajThe desolate town of Old Parraj, situated just south of today’s bustling Anrivadan city, is a site rich with the largest collection of ancient ruins in all of Haless. During the ambitious campaign to transform a desperate cluster of towns into a functioning realm, Lord Anrivadya II appointed Mirevan as the minister responsible for repairs and construction. Mirevan, utilizing funds from the crown, orchestrated expeditions to scout for an ideal location for the capital of this emerging realm. While Old Parraj was initially considered, it was ultimately dismissed due to its unstable foundations and lackluster defensibility.\n\nNevertheless, the expeditions to Old Parraj were not in vain, as they unearthed a trove of intriguing relics, including gold vases, precious gems, and magical items. These significant discoveries led Mirevan to swiftly impose a ban on unauthorized access to the town, reserving exploration rights exclusively for those directly commissioned by him. The allure of these artifacts and the mysteries they hinted at quickly gave rise to a myriad of rumors, captivating the imagination of many and shrouding Old Parraj in an aura of enigma and speculation.

Rule Lohanparayan!Maurayadhwaj, inheritor of Anrivadya II’s throne, was a beacon of brilliance in the lineage of Parraj’s rulers. His eccentric nature was complemented by his extensive knowledge in history and dynasticism of Rahen, to the curious scholar-lord, the Dynasty of The Iron Way that once reigned over Shamakhad, was of particular interest. Having wielded their rule with unyielding resolve, they transformed the region from a fragmented land of strife into an empire of might and order, the Empire of Lohanparayan, ruled by the Iron Way dynasty, was once capable of challenging the storied armies of Harimar, and the mere mention of it would send shivers down the figure of folk in Shamakhad, for in those days, the price of order was high…

Enemies of OrderParraj’s stance on the tumultuous religious upheaval in Rahen was unequivocal. The “Reformation” led by Suhan was deemed a catalyst for anarchy and societal strife, undermining the thriving society that Harimar the Great had once dreamt of. To safeguard the established order, decisive measures were taken: educators endorsing these radical views were prohibited, educational and religious institutions came under close watch, and a minister was appointed with the express purpose of overseeing the creation of texts that would reaffirm the Old Gods’ teachings while disavowing Suhan’s doctrines.
