The Oduniyyad Caliphate's expansion into Sarpedon brought it into conflict with Christian kingdoms, leading to a series of religious wars known as the [[Crusades#In_Audonia_(1167–1428)|Crusades in Audonia]] ([[1167–]] 1[[428]]CE). Battganuur, as a frontier region of the Caliphate, became a battleground for these conflicts. The Crusades had a profound impact on Battganuur, disrupting trade routes, causing economic instability, and exacerbating religious tensions. The region witnessed the construction of fortified castles and cities, as well as the emergence of military orders dedicated to defending the Christian faith. Despite the immense human and economic cost, the Crusades also fostered cultural exchange and intellectual curiosity. The encounter with Western ideas and technologies stimulated new developments in Battganuuri science, philosophy, and art. | The Oduniyyad Caliphate's expansion into Sarpedon brought it into conflict with Christian kingdoms, leading to a series of religious wars known as the [[Crusades#In_Audonia_(1167–1428)|Crusades in Audonia]] ([[1167–]] 1[[428]]CE).

====Warring century==== | |||
The '''Warring Century''' spanned the 15th and 16th centuries in the [[Daria]] region of [[Audonia]]. This era was marked by the tumultuous unraveling of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]], factionalism, sectarian and ethnic violence, and ultimately weakened [[Daria]] making it prone to [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonization]] by the duchies of [[Maritime Dericania]]. | |||
Internal strife, stemming from political dissent and struggles for succession, economic stagnation and corruption progressively eroded the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s authority. The [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s collapse ripped apart the fragile web of religious and ethnic cohesion that had existed under its rule. Long-simmering tensions between various groups, both religious and ethnic, flared up in the absence of a strong central authority. Communities with distinct cultural and belief systems, previously held together under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s umbrella, found themselves at odds. This sectarian discord, coupled with competition for limited resources, fueled a period of widespread tribal and sectarian conflicts. | |||
The power vacuum created by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s disintegration paved the way for the rise of warlords. These opportunistic individuals, capitalizing on the prevailing chaos, carved out their own domains in strategic locations, often around cities or fortresses built by the former [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]. However, the reach of these warlords was limited due to the lack of a centralized tax system and the constant threat of rival factions. Their control often extended only to their immediate vicinity, creating a patchwork of small, feuding kingdoms. | |||
The economic consequences of the Warring Century were far-reaching. The once-flourishing [[Silk Road]] became choked by rampant banditry and instability. The movement of goods became increasingly expensive and perilous. This disruption forced eastern nations, namely [[Daxia]], to hire larger and more expensive caravan guards, some eventually became their own armies, which when coupled with [[Maritime Dericania|Dericanian]] [[Burgoignesc colonial empire|colonial expansion ism]] led to the establishment of the [[Southern Route]], which bypassed the volatile [[Daria]] region altogether. | |||
