Beginning of the Sivan People & Formation of the Sivan Republic

The Forming of the South-Adrazi Tribes

After The Great Adrazi Flood the Adrazi race was scattered to migrate into various new lands, those who had to flee south, found themselves in the Skraq ("blood desert"). The Adrazi who found themselves in this land of sand and dirt south of the mountains; unlike the other refugees, scattered into various locations which they deemed most survivable. Thus the Southern-Adrazi/Proto-Sivans where split into various tribes, these clans slowly became more and more isolationist and distrusting of another as the scouting for resources became more scarce. Soon wars and raids would be conducted on another as people were struggling to survive, at first from a flood but now from a lack of water, food, or any necessity. Soon however, these tribes would face a common threat.

Colonization under the Duine Empire

The Duine Empire was an ancient expanding empire from the far west which stretched out into southern and eastern territories of [Continent name]. Although the Duine Empire had a large hold on the continent it mainly was centered in Skraq and the Kame and Devaşh regions. It's main mission was to assemble a strong Duineşh outpost city on the Mırzak as well as a strong naval port on the coastline. So in an effort to spread it's sphere of influence it assembled the various Southern-Adrazi tribes, either by trading resources for labor or more forceful means. At this point these Proto-Sivan tribes were split into 4 distinct regional clans:

• Easrari - The Proto-Sivans native to the south-east coast of the Skraq and the region around the Mırzak, known for their fishing and warring culture, they where also the first and most willing group to be encompassed in the Duine Empire to gain resources and progress in building up a strong settlement for themselves, a decision they would later regret as they became the majority of the workforce for the hundreds of masons who perished while constructing Değli Taşhlar

• Qardic - The most rural and isolated natives to the south-west regions, often found in barren valleys or the sparse oases on the western edges of later would be known as Sivan lands. The Qardic people mainly lived hidden from Duineşh grasp however the few people who were found were employed to work as transportation for materials across the desert
• Jevaşhivi - Located in the central Sivan territory, a largely collective and dense population of Southern-Adrazi lived around the Jevaşh (Opal Sea / Salt Lake) and the foothills of the wild mountains to the north. They were a quite developed and connected ethnicity with various towns on the Jevaşh were known to be the most outwardly rebellious against the spread of the Duine Empire, however as a mostly peaceful agrarian and fishing society, they could not handle the spreading colonizers.
• Devaşh - In the North-East chaparral and the northern Skraq coast were a collection of small town-states who were the first of the Adrazi who fled from the Stone Forest to the Devaşh and Kame. They are a mostly nomadic ethnic-tribe group who are highly defensive and independent from the rest. They strongly opposed the Duine Empire in secret as they mostly tried to present themselves as indifferent to the fates of their neighboring tribes, however they put up the strongest defense against the Duineşh spread when they were the last Proto-Sivan group for the Duineşh to conquer. They held for a surprising amount of time but eventually fell once the Duine Empire started to bring magic into war.

Sivan Independence & The Siege of The Red Sky

Starting off in the historically rebellious region of Jevaşh, the outspoken people's anger against the Duine Empire grew louder and louder.

Politics in The Imperious Siva Republic

Political History/Timeline of the Jadişhi

- First Era {Jadişh: Qerez "Miro" Birin}

After a few years of recollection and forming of an independent state, the first election was held and Qerez "Miro" Birin was anointed as the first Jadişh of the Republic. It is common in Sivan culture to give a member a middle name after they have lived the first years of their life and shown their legacy and story, so they adopted this system into their Jadişh, each one will be given a title for their legacy and it all starts with "The Father". Qerez "Miro" Birin was granted this title because of how he grew the nation after the freedom from the Duineşh, it is said he whipped up the nation's military, infrastructure, and culture: "He had taught the Embrace as if it was a child of his own". He also allowed the Şhariarchs to pass a law that barred any Duineşh to live on Sivan laws, although many Sivans saw this as discriminatory to their former colonizers, the majority of Sivans were quite angry from the years of labor and deaths they had to endure from the Duineşh. Although nothing revolutionary was done, he set a strong precedent on what a Jadişh should be and formed the foundation of Sivan culture and politics. Qerez "Miro" Birin or "The Father" was old however, and on a law he personally proposed, each Jadişh should have a "term" of roughly 20 years although he himself served 34, so he resigned to let a new era begin.

- Vengeful Era

Towards the end of the First Era, some political factions and identities began to divide and form and so this would be the first election with various solidified parties. To call it a mess would be an understatement, roughly 20+ parties composed of wealthy families, companies, outsiders, people with high status and wealth or none at all. The weeks leading up to the final vote brought all these factions together which caused much more fracturing and polarization. One group was rising amount the ranks however it did not stand a chance alone, so it formed the first coalition between three small parties: "The Scarlet Dusks", "Sivrats", and the "Fundamentalists". The Fundamentalists didn't take a radical perspective like their counterparts but were the main pushers for a stronger religious element in culture and politics and for the state to require all citizens to follow Isnaçism in a hope to form a united Sivan identity after the ethnic fragmentation that is so present between the old Proto-Sivan tribes. The Sivrats were a very official party that pushed for a very large and regulatory government, they supported terms for life for the Jadişh, the restriction of lower castes from participating in politics, and overall were the most encouraging of an isolationist nationalistic state after suffering from a foreign power who crushed their identity for so long. Finally "The Scarlet Dusk" was the most controversial faction since they were not an officiated party but rather an underground militia that some considered a violent organization. The main mission of the group was the complete 100% removal of all Duineşh from [sw continent name] through forced migration and in some cases death.
