In the southern part of the present-day Kandara the expansion of the [[Arunid Empire]], starting in 183 BCE, through [[832]] CE, spread the concepts of monotheism to the Kana people. The trade routes of the empire made the small settlements larger and the meager salt cultivation that the Kana engaged in became a critical resource of the [[Arunid Empire]], and the Kana population boomed. In the northern mountainous regions the tribes who have left the coasts began to create unique cultures and customs that would become the ethnic groups that make up Kandara today.

The trade routes of the empire made the small settlements larger and the meager salt cultivation that the Kana engaged in became a critical resource of the [[Arunid Empire]], and the Kana population boomed. In the northern mountainous regions the tribes who have left the coasts began to create unique cultures and customs that would become the ethnic groups that make up Kandara today. They mined precious gems and gold that they traded with the [[Arunid Empire|Arunid Kanans]] but the harshness of the desert made it impossible for the empire to expand further. As the [[Arunid Empire]] was conquered by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] throughout the 800s, their influence in the lands of the Kana waned until, in [[832]] it seems to have disappeared altogether. For 100 years the Kana ruled themselves and built a salt trading empire that would become their downfall and bring the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] to their doorstep. | ||

[[931]] - [[1383]] the provinces | The [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] ruled most of present-day Kandara from [[931]] - [[1383]], calling the provinces the ''Sudanieen'' (Arabic for "of the black people"). They were brutal in their rule, enforcing strict Sharia law and demonizing and belittling the Kanans. They enslaved most of the population and forced them to work the salt mines or sold them to other powers in [[Audonia]] as part of the [[Pre-modern_global_trade#Oduniyyad_chattel_network|Oduniyyad chattel network]]. | ||
