Written by Italian P&C

Introduction
Lakharat is a region with an extremely large population that around 500 BCE was already 78 Millions of people. It's climate, especially during this age, was very unstable, since in summer it could reach over 38°C while in winter it could even fall to -8°C. In 500 BCE it was inhabited by a lot of small nations, the most powerful being: Makher Empire, Senrajuttar (a military horde) and Raviahrati Kingdom.

Notable Nations

Raviahrat Kingdom

in the northern coasts, where the sun does not shine, lies the Raviahrat Kingdom, one of the nations with the most meteorological problems, such as rain, cloudy weather and strong winds. People have adapted to these conditions by building resilient buildings to face this type of climate, fortunately not every day is like this but at least 220 days out of 365 are filled meteorological phenomena (no tornadoes or hurricanes) and also every day there is 80% probability based on speculation that the sky is completely cloudy even though it only rains 80 days a year. According to sages, they believe that it is because of the anger of evil gods for having lost a war between deities.

Senrajuttar

The territories inhabited by the Lakharatis really, really hate the Norstanis, since in the years between 650 BCE and 500 BCE there was massive Norstani population growth in the north of Lakharat. The Norstani people decided to invade the northern settlements, tribes, hordes or early kingdoms, the result of these invasions was the formation of Senrajuttar, a military anarchy state, where the most powerful Norstanis rule, creating cities and enslaving southern Lakharatis.
