The Imperial Qyzharate of Duryad
"Fall, you kingdoms of luxury, for The Eternal State of Splendour shall Conquer"
The Sublime Qyzharate of Duryad's Greater Imperial Realm, commonly known as the Qyzharate of Duryad (DIS or D.I.S.) or informally, Duryad, is a multi-ethnic, militaristic, dragonborn-ruled empire on the continent of Naghron. Duryad is located on the southern islands of Naghron including Thrakos that was once eastern Fionmagh. The Qyzharate has grown immensly in population and has encompassed territory with impressive speed and efficency. The bulk of the dragonborn population resided in the lands surrounding their capital, Djerad Sikta, a massive city more than twice the size of Garagorm.
Structure
The Imperial Qyzharate is a dynasty and practices equal primogeniture, in which the eldest child inherits the title of Qyzhar/Qyzharah regardless of whether they are male or female.
Government workers
As the Qyzharate grows, the number of qualified Duryadi workers ss too small to keep up with the rapid expansion of the qyzharate. Therefore, Haleema allowed many of the local government workers in conquered provinces to keep their jobs under the new Duryadi government. Thus, much of the local government's work is recorded in Orcish , Gnoll, Gol-kaa, even Goblin and several other languages.Culture
The Duryadi absorbed some of the traditions, art, and institutions of cultures in the regions they conquered and added new dimensions to them. Numerous traditions and cultural traits of previous empires (In fields such as architecture, cuisine, music, leisure, and government) were adopted by the Duryadi, who developed them into new forms, resulting in a new and distinctively Duryad cultural identity.
Slavery was a part of Duryad society, with most slaves employed as domestic servants. Agricultural slavery, such as that which was widespread in Ashad, was relatively rare. Unlike systems of chattel slavery, slaves under Imperial law were not regarded as movable property, but maintained basic, though limited, rights. This gave them a degree of protection against abuse.
Public Agenda
The Sublime Imperial Qyzharate of Duryad is largely concerned with the keeping of law and order within its borders, providing all people who dwell within her borders equallity, a place to call home that isn't total anarchy as it has been for centuries, knowledge to the unenlightened and the conquest of her hostile neighbors, the The Crowned Chiefdom of Fionmagh and the Tzardom of Mekrad. So long as it is left to these tasks and allowed to promote its maritime-martial culture, expand its influence, spread their ideals of equality and enlightenment and as well as to uphold the societal values of the Duryadi people, it is content.
They exist to promote peace as well as to uphold the societal values of the Durish people.

The Duryad Royal Army guards and expands the Qyxharate on land, The Duryad Royal Navy guards the coastlines and engages the enemy at sea.
History
Duryad has its humble origins as the displaced the native tribes of ashad, who fled the Dhômm'ahssid Empire's constant expansion and migrated by sea from Ashad what is today Southern Naghron -7690 ac and settled and divided into a patchwork of independent Duryadi principalities known as the Naghronid Djerate. One of these Djerates, in the region of Duradhur on the frontier of the Barzulanor Dominion, was led by the Duryadi tribal leader Durbarum I a figure of obscure origins from whom the name Duryad is derived. Zalhor's early followers consisted both of Duryadi tribal groups and Barzulanor renegades. Durbarum extended the control of his principality by conquering Barzulanor towns along the Zuhlya River. A Barzulanor defeat at the Battle of Zalhor contributed to Durbarum's rise as well. It is not well understood how the early Duryadi came to dominate their neighbors, due to the lack of sources surviving from this period.
The Previous Qyzhar|Qyzharahs of Duryad are:
- Dahrmuyahd I - First Qyzhar of Duryad, founded the port city of Djerad Sikta and was buried in the Royal crypt
- Hasdrubal I
- Hasdrubal II Established the current Imperial Navy by reforming, organising and merging several Duryadi Fleets and the Barzulanor following his conquest.
- Deman I Founded The Duryad Royal Army, the brought the Raihun Wastes under the control of the crown, daring cavalry commander, slain in battle.
- Merhan I
- Dahrmuyahd II
Demography and Population
The bulk of Duryad's population is composed of humans and dragonborn, most of them descendants of the survivors of The Calamity (humans), although a few dragonborn were also immigrants from Ashad who had traveled to Duryad to join the Duryadi clans. Although Dragontortles were a minority of the Duryadi population, they were openly accepted by the people. Kobolds and Goblinoids also were a minority in the outlying Duryadi settlements.
While the majority of the population, unllike in most of the world, is equal parts human and dragonborn, there are large groups of other races. Tieflings, Kobolds, even Dratuga and, especially, Genasi are very commonplace. You will also see more of the races sometimes not welcome in other regions of the world. A hard-working gnoll is given as much of a chance here as a dwarf is. And an gnoll who doesn't provide is as useless to society as any other human, dragonborn or genasi who doesn't.
The southern parts have a sizable kobold and goblinoid presence. The coastal parts have a stronger presence of water genasi, tritons and dratuga than the inland areas.
Humans are the most common in the Gholdahar dominated regions, even if they weren't a majority on their own. There are plenty of earth genasi, gnoll and half-orc, some bugbear and hobgoblins, and many of the hardier other races. There are many nomadic tribes still and used to be many more. Horses and other mounts are a way of life. And a way of warfare. As such, hunting was most popular than farming for most of Gholdahar. Their artisans developed techniques that allowed them to work while travelling.

Military
Duryad boasts one of the strongest militaries in the world in both sheer numbers and in their training and supplies. The incredible wealth of the empire allows it to keep hosts of trained and well-equipped soldiers on a constant payroll to defend the nation's borders, keep the peace within its cities and townships, and patrol the widespread trading routes to ensure the sedation of bandits and highwaymen.
Most of Duryadh's modern forces exist in the form of a standing army due to the numerous amount of professional military men and women remaining from wartime leaves little need for the raising of levies now that peace is negotiated across most of the state's borders. The majority of these soldiers now reside in the clanholds such as the capital city Djerad Sikta, serving to enforce the law, protect and escort government officials and members of the nobility, and ensure these largest cities have a force of defence ready for any unexpected large-scale assaults.
Although the some of Duryad's armies is still sourced via the old allotment system of regional clans and their private armies they raise and supply, there has been a growing shift towards the building of a standardized, professional military as the kingdom has grown and made further attempts at northward expansion.
All citizens spent some time in duryad's highly trained army, and the population was ever-ready to take up arms again should their country be threatened.
Since the Naghronid Djerate, the Duryadi army had used the so-called allotment system to raise troops. In 287, Qyzharah Deman I completely reformed it, establishing what modern historians refer to as the "new allotment system".
Under the new system, Duryadi Clanholds were to provide the crown with regiments of 1,200 or 3,000 men, complete with weapons and uniforms. Either independently or as rote (Teams) of no more than twelve , Citizens would contract with the crown, in with each rote providing and supporting one soldier, including giving the soldier a suitable home and a garden plot. Each cavalryman is additionally provided with a horse. In exchange for these burdensome policies, each rote was granted a reduction in taxes.
The Dzjhassaries
A relatively recent creation of the Duryadi armies, the Dzjhassaries are the most highly-trained and well-equipped members of Duryad's forces. Most often serving as guards to the Qyzhar(ah) and similar high authorities or locations of great cultural or economic importance, the order was first instated by Qyzhar Merhan I and was comprised entirely by slave fighters captured during the ongoing war against Raihun. A slave revolt which occured in 1391 wherein the Dzjhassaries turned against the slave-drivers and drove Duryadi forces away from the city of Sahebul before the Grande Raihun Horde subsequently seized the territory once again lead to the complete restructuring of the zarytaries force into what would become their current form. Modern Dzjhassaries are not entirely sourced from the bodies of foreign slaves but instead mainly selected from among Duryadi children who show prowess and obedience when fighting in the Royal Army Caadet schools. Following the model of the slave gladiators common in the Capital of Djerad Sikta, they are now paid a handsome wage for their services and live in relative luxury compared even to other military higher-ups. Any prospective initiate of the dzjhassary forces is allowed to be no older than twelve years of age once chosen, and thereafter begins to serve full-time under the tutelage of his selector. Over the course of his training, a dzjhassary initiate will be subjected to strenuous physical labor alongside studious pursuits of alchemistry, engineering, mathematics, and sorcery. Additionally, he must show nothing but complete and unquestioning loyalty towards his commanders, his Qyzhar or Qyzharah, and the state of Duryad as a whole. Many of the young initiates selected will die before having the chance to prove themselves in war, and more than a few are executed for suspicion of treasonous intent or exiled for failure to exhibit progeny in any subject or skill. The dzjhassaries were credited as the primary reason for Duryad's swift victory against Barzulanor forces during the Siege of Zalhor which was brought to a quick end after dzjhassary forces reached the city following three weeks of prolonged conflicts at its walls and tore through the invading army via the use of explosives and Great Djeradi Bombards.Religion
Moreso than most other countries, the Qyzharate's people are a simplistic and accepting one...so long as a creature can contribute to the whole, get along, and assist in the shared goal of survival, religion takes a backseat to such things. If they prove an issue, they are killed or punished, regardless of what god they believe in.
Foreign Relations
With the western neighbor, The Crowned Chiefdom of Fionmagh , they are currently in at the brink of full on war, having recently endured a bloody war only 22 years ago, they now know a sort of Cold War with each other, and they both are regaining their strength and searching for ways to win the future war before it can even begin...or at the least, get a leg up on their foe before the war begins anew.
The Qyzharate of Duryad considers itself a major world power, rightfully so, and has dedicated itself to the defense of its people against evil and injustice. It's most relevant political neighbors are the The Grand Chaliphate of Ashad and the Nympharum Concord, both of which Duryad has good relations with. A lot of this trade is done via sea and therefore they keep extra contact with any ports along the coast as well as the cities on the northern part of the Continent of Ashad .
As for its other oversea relationships, Duryad considers the human nation of Fionmagh as a potential threat, and to be the most recent in a long line of conquest and benevolent enlightenment. Any other nation based on other continents does trade with Duryad and both Duryad and the other nations usually do not interact much more than this. Despite this, The Qyzharate of Duryad does not trust the Crowned Chiefdom of Fionmagh due to their militaristic tendencies and their recent mage purges, but as far as the Qyzharate of Duryad is concerned, the Fionmagh are too busy dealing with their rival to pose a threat.
