The Jistka Imperium
Founding
4120-AR
The Jistka Imperium is founded around this year.
The Jistka Imperium (pronounced JIHST-kuh) ruled over north-western Garund from the early years of the Age of Anguish (ca. -4120 AR), through the first 700 years of the Age of Destiny. Weakened by raids by desert nomads from ca. -3300 AR onwards, the lack of a strong trade route helped speed the eventual decline of the Imperium around -2764 AR. The newly-risen kingdoms of Ancient Osirion were simply easier for Jistka's eastern trade partners to reach. Little remains of this truly ancient empire, having been lost to the passing years, the sands of the desert, or by adoption by other cultures.
