Sultanate of Knushil

The people of the south have always been more warlike than their northerly brethren. It is said that they were not invited into the Empire of Man because they were too aggressive, but many lords in the area were not looking into joining.

400 years later and a general by the name of Ursa, would expand his local realm, and by the time of his last campaign, he had United the mainly human parts of the area. He used numbers to overwhelm the opponents, and after his death his son expanded eastward, crossing the many rivers into dark elvish country. The sultanate was ruled by a line of competent warrior kings, who protect the realm during its frequent rebellions that demand the return of the old states in the south. The states in the area followed Kathuluism, a warrior religion, they did not believe in a god, but belief in the idea that all who did not follow you were possessed by evil spirits. The Sultanate is not particularly wealthy, being fairly isolationist, but what it lacks in finance it gains in a huge loyal manpower reserve. This would be increased if the tribes would stop uprising, and internal strife is common in the area. It's people are thorough-bred warriors, and elvish regiments are common in the army due to the sizable, dark elvish minority.
