Jhanin

Since the time of the Invaders, none of have been able claim Jhanin as their own for terribly long. Before it was the homeland of the Dwarves, and then later taken and claimed by the Kyn. After the fall of ancient Rouran , Jhanin has almost been a constant battleground of Dwarf, Human, Giant, and Kyn warlords all seeking supremacy.
Jhanin is generally divided in three main regions, the northern half known as the Thyrlands, the southern half known the Plains of Lorath, and the The Kynpeakswhich divide them. Jhanin is actually the name of the entire continent, though most people consider Jhal'Qerzaan separate.

History

Since the fall of Rouran, many 'countries' have risen in Jhanin. Few nations lasted a decade, much less a century.
This ended in 476/2 when Khaz Vedran, seeing an easy target for conquest and expansion, invaded. What they did not expect however, was Skandar Dragonsbane. The great Giant leader was able to rally the scattered people of the wastes into a unified force, and push back the draconic tide.
However, even under his leadership, order was a constant battle. Playing to his strength in warfare, Skandar threw his armies at the gates of Bael Archas. To create a new rallying cause for the people of Jhanin.
It ended in absolute failure. Skandar was struck down by Garyon, the Black Bulwark, himself. His forces were massacred as they attempted to flee home. The faith the tribes of Jhanin had placed in their hero was shattered.
The resulting rebellion was eventually ended by Skandar’s daughter, but a large number of Kyn had seceded from Dragonsbane rule. The Kyn would eventually rally around Thrakul Kulakas, allying in 885/2 to ward off the threat of the Amukreen.
Like New Rouran, the line of Dragonsbane would meet its end in 894/2 at the hands of the Fey Courts and internal strife. The land would fall back into warring states for hundreds of years before being brought under the control of Ahmed Thrakul during the early years of his Seven Journies in 384/3. After the disappearance of the Emperor in 403/3, the land has threatened to fall back into lawlessness, though an ambitious Hakkyn warlord by the name of Yakaz Drazan has set his sights on liberating his people from imperial rule.
