===== Ker-Melid Kingdom (c. 300 BCE to 731 CE) =====

The Ker-Melid Kingdom ruled as a diarchy initially with each ruler retaining their capital. By the 1st century BCE, however, both kings ruled from Melid on the southern coast where the most fertile grounds were. While certain successions have been dubious, tradition maintains that the kings maintained the lines of the original states of Melid and Ker. The mid to late Iron Age on the Soirwind was characterized by the unification of the ~~regiong~~ and independent cultural development. The capital region became densely populated and built up with palaces and temples while the interior was heavily developed for agriculture, the geography altered with terrace farms; the remnants of which can often still be seen in the modern era., each headed by a governor who reported directly to the diarchy. Each province was made up of a variable number of townships. A coinage system was also introduced for the first time in this period.

In 148 CE, the diarchy was overthrown as King Palistin II of the Ker line assumed sole rulership. Palistin also reformed the Kingdom's religion, asserting divine rule and claiming the central triad of the pantheon as his ancestors. Elaborate temples and tombs for members of the Ker line were constructed during his reign. Purportedly, in 154 CE the bodies of hundreds of Ker rulers were exhumed from crypts in their home city and transported to Melid to be re-entombed within the capital. Palistin II would be assassinated in 159 CE and was succeeded by his son Ashur who ruled until c. 200 CE, continuing his father's legacy as a builder. While in the past this era was hailed as a Old Golden Age, contemporary historians have noted that the monumental temples and palaces of the Kingdom relied upon exploitative corvée labour which drew commoners away from their farms and their livelihoods.

Gilgalion III's critics would be justified in the 8th century as his descendant, Farrukh II, had to contend with the invasion of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in 730 CE. The unified [[Audonia]]n army led by one of successors of Muhammad's trusted generals, Abu Talib Bey, landed swiftly on the coasts on May 2 avoiding any naval interception. Melid was besieged two days later, a sufficient time for King Farrukh to leave the city, attempting to rally an army while the majority of the royal guard remained in the capital. The king had little success, however, as many were convinced of the Caliphate's invincibility after it had taken over much of the mainland within a few years. In July, the Oduniyyad force managed to confront the small army of the Ker-Melid Kingdom which had thus far been contented with harassing the larger invading force while the capital expended its supplies to hold out. The battle on July 3 was swift, ending in decisive victory for the Caliphate, though a large portion of the Ker-Melid army including the king managed to escape. Following the routing of the army, the capital capitulated. General Abu Talib Bey establish court in the royal palace and ordered the destruction of many temples and idols within the city while a contingent of the army pursued the king. After a short period of resistance, the king was captured in September 731, unable to mobilize a force against the invaders. On December 22 of the same year he was executed, effectively ending organized resistance against the occupation of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]].

The lands of Kermelid remained a periphery of the Oduniyyad influence i and extending its influence and teachings beyond into the steppes and lands to the south of the Kermelid lands and the rest of eastern Audonia. However in the early 11th century, sectarian conflicts and rising powers of steppe lords of the steppes of Audonia pushed the Odunyyiads out of Kermelid and effectively turned the settled coastal lands into a tributary vassal kingdom of whichever nomadic horde held the most influence close to the mountains.

Led by Sir Frederick Lochlan in 1346, a force of around 12,000, with about 2,000 knights from mostly Culfran princedoms arrived just south of the city of Cathash, built on the ruins of the ancient city of Ker. The forces laid siege to the city for five months before its surrender, giving Lochlan an area of control around southern Kermelid. Early word to the Khanate of the invasion of Lochlan was given little interest, the impression given by Levantine merchants who countered envoys from the Kingdom was that this was a trade conflict as the King of Kermelid unjustly was seizing Levantine ships and goods, and they were simply defending Levantine merchants to allow the goods to flow between the great Khan and their homelands. While undocumented, modern historians believe many gifts in gold, goods, and slaves and or concubines were delivered to the Khan to convince him of inaction.

Over the next decade, two more waves of Culfran crusader armies carved out crusader states, ~~siezing~~ valuable trade cities on the Soirwindic coast interested in ~~siezing~~ land and wealth from the infidel and access to the valuable ports from the Silk Road. And still the Khan was satiated with gifts and excuses of an internal succession crisis leading to conflict between the Levantines and Kermelidites. The war against the Kermelidites saw vicious conflict across plains on the coast and in the mountains further inland. This included the death of the leader of the Crusaders Sir Frederick Lochlan. The conflict continued at first under a council of leading crusader lords, but would soon involve vested interests and leading merchants of Free Cities from Culfra and the Derics which in exchange for money and mercenaries, bought exclaves and trade rights in the Crusader states in Karmelis.

As the conflict continued for control of Karmelis, Odunniyids in Audonia began utilizing the sea to combat the Crusaders and seize wealth from Levantine merchants. Corsairs backed by the Oddunyids began to strike shipping lanes and raiding the coasts of the crusader states of Karmelis. Propaganda built off the reports of the raids and attacks of the muslim pirates would tell Culfrans of the ‘Eastern land of vines’ where noble Christians fought the ~~muslim~~ menace. The early forms of ~~propoganda~~ would deliver two things to the crusader states in Karmelis, the development of the modern name of Soirwind, based of the old Faeskt words for Eastern lands of vines (as an attempt to make the land sound a prosperous land of grape vines and fertile land). It would also lead to the fourth expedition or Culfran crusade for Soirwind. But this one came with a war fleet and a holy order that would organize in Soirwind and devote to fighting corsairs and eastern pirates.

This fourth wave of crusaders in Soirwind would be the final push that led to the capture of the Kingdom of Karmelis. While conflict on the land had ended, the battle with pirates at sea continued. Meanwhile, a succession war within the Western Khanate in 1396 led to a unique relationship with the Khanate as the crusader states of Soirwind began to sell themselves as mercenaries supporting the friendly Khanate heir. The Wars for the Khans Son would lead to the Levantine Knights learning and experiencing more of the style of warfare native to the steppes beyond the moutains of western ~~Alshar~~ and eventually would develop a unique style of warfare the knights of Soirwind would develop to combat the different style of warfare seen on this far off continent.

* The Bey's War- Native leaders integrated with independence minded settlers started a revolt in Soirwind against the rule of the far off Commonwealth, reeling from the defeat of the Third Kin War. The War consisted of two phases, the initial uprising and seizure of most major ports and fortifications, and then the arrival of the Fiannan invasion force that would put down the now disunited fighting factions initially united in declaring independence.

To support the expanded operations, Fiannria gave Soirwind it's earlier sought independence as a Sovereign Republic and declared a treaty of eternal friendship, and cooperation between the states.
