Mesir Dynasty (concept)

The reign of the Mesir Dynasty began with that of the Boqqarut, with both having been founded by Eshwo, in addition to the first codified Mogowai faith. Eshwo's unification of Damota under himself occured due to a combination of factors, chief among them the backing of his new priesthood, who greatly assisted in controlling the expanding state. Eshwo would fight a series of wars in his conquest, culminating in 258 IS with his proclamation of the Boqqarut, after his victory in the The War of Songs. His reign would continue for decades, during which the city of Zahali would rise from a minor town to a grand metropolis, gaining a reputation as the shining jewel of his new empire.

Upon his death in 297 IS, he would be succeeded by his second son, Letanya, who utilized his diplomatic prowess skillfully to maintain his father's empire. Though several vassal chiefdoms attempted to break away, Letanya managed to form a cohesive front against them, crushing the rebellions and establishing a more centralized state. His successors, though far less well-remembered, were remarkable for their focus on expanding the state, conquering or colonizing massive swaths of previously-unmapped jungle, and integrating these new regions into the state. Their reign would end in 497 IS, when the widely-detested Boqqar Falwi was murdered, beginning the First Tetenik, after which they would be replaced by the Olani Dynasty.
