    Nylu-honxim

  • The First Nylu-honxim is the name given to one of the largest state in Shura in its time, founded between -1,325 and -1,290 before the Divin Empire (DIC ; 199 to 209 BC) by the first Raou, Ganu Gesh-kōm and lead by the next Raou. Originating in present-day Northern Kalonyah, Nylu-honxim at its height stretched from the Sea of Océanie to the Kaskuhiy Sea, extending northward into parts of the Ihaydd'layhktu'fokk Sea ; southward into north of Hylddefrens and parts of north Ahrrabaryiah.


    History



    The clans


    Before -1,400 (DIC), each large clan (hun) existed separatly from each other ; each large clan ruled lands where smaller clans (yah) live. The largest clan was the Gōgū-dule Clan, then the Kazū-mé Clan and the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan. There also were some other notable clans, such as the Qin-ben Clan and the Xu-meig Clan, who were Odtomon clans from the south.
    Territories borders were not clearly delimited and clans wars were very common, however conflicts between the Gōgū-dule Clan and the others were rare. This is explained by the fact that the Gōgū-dule Clan were well organised compared to other clans, leading to a good distribution of the ressources when it was needed. Plus, the clan possessed very fertil lands allowing them to grow fields, without having to regularly raid villages nor steal ressources

    In -1,325, leaders of the yah from the Gōgū-dule Clan (hun), agreed to extend the terrirory and unify the clans in the region. They gave the duty to conquer and rule to Leyu Xidao.
    Leyu Xidao believed that together, the clans could accomplish great things. He also believed that peace was possible only if other clans adopted its way of ruling and the same organisation as the Gōgū-dule Clan.

    Conquest of Southern Kalonyah and foundation of the Raouhom



    From -1,325 to -1,321 (DIC), the Gōgū-dule Clan chose the best warriors to train their people, preparing their troups. After 4 years of preparation, in -1,321, the hon started marching to the south, continuing in Southern Kalonyah.

    The first battles occured in the west. During summer, Weihén (today, Chykkhen'uggeht), Bōzu (Kuryhkokko) and Lu-xiem (Pidd'za), were under attack of the Gōgū-dule Clan's troups. It did not take long for them to surrender (about two days for each one). Because of that, the villages did not lose a lot of soldiers and structures were not damaged. The hun being numerically superior, villages chiefs knew it would be a waste of means and lifes to fight the troups.

    Similar battles occured during the next days. The hun then decided to train villagers to make them part of their army, making their troups even bigger. After three years, most of the zone were conquiered, and they stopped during winter -1,318–-1,317. During this pause, they use their time to make changes in the organisation of villages and territories. In -1,311, the Gōgū-dule Clan was well implanted and in -1,309, most of Southern Kalonyah was organised the same way as the hun and started slowly adopting their culture. Smaller clans were turned into yah, dominated by the hun (the Gōgū-dule Clan). In February -1,308 (or March depending on the sources), the army was well prepared and Leyu Xidao decided to continue the extention.

    The army was splitted in three parts : the Xaé clan, the Zuhei clan and the Gōgū-dule Clan. The Xaé clan was charged to cross the sea and land on Rin'ehs Islands, where populations were not prepared for combat, making it easy for the clan considered as 'the weakest' ; the Zuhei clan was moving south ; and the Gōgū-dule Clan was moving west.

    In -1,303, while progressing in Nanngah, the hun arrived in a hun village. That is where they met the Kazū-mé Clan, which they did not fight. The clan created a treaty with the bigger hun. However because of its size, the Gōgū-dule Clan was very influent and more powerful, transforming slowly the other hun.

    In -1,300, the leader of the Kazū-mé Clan, Tenga Xendao decided to ally with the Gōgū-dule Clan to expand its territory too. Leyu Xidao accepted on condition the Gōgū-dule Clan decided the organisation. Xendao agreed.

    Unfortunately, there was a very bad year, which led to a general famine. About 15% of the army and 21% of the civil population starved. Winters were difficult and food was rationned.
    Between years -1,298 and -1,297, the clans started to developp new way of hunting and growing. After some some months, the clans finally managed to repair their loss.
    In -1,293, population grew again and the alliance started preparing themselves for the next battles.

    The Kazū-mé Clan decided to stay in the west, and organised the conquered territory. The bigger hun splitted : the first half stayed with the smaller hun to help and to keep control, and the second half went to the east to help the Zuhei (who were fighting the Odtomon) and the Xaé who came back.

    During December (or November depending on the sources), the (half) hun helped the Zuhei Clan to fight their enemy Odtomon clans. Odtomon clans were badly organised and not unified, making it difficult for them to win against the alliance, even though they were military well advanced.
    In February -1,292, the hun and some members of the Zuhei went to east. Some battles occured, for example in Xo-shumen (Yhaurrt). In June, they arrive on the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan's territory.

    After a year of fight, the Gōgū-dule Clan took control of the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan's second biggest 'city', Xeish (Heskk'alhopp). Despite being even larger than the Kazū-mé Clan, the hun was defeated. In October -1,291, the chief of the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan, Tieng Pyin-won finally decided to ally with the Gōgū-dule Clan.
    From October -1,291 to March -1,290, the alliance continued to conquer what was left (the rest of the east coast of Ahnattoralyah and south of Southern Kalonyah).

    On the 2nd March of -1,290, Leyu Xidao died at the age 64 (or 65 depending on the sources). He gave the lead to his most successful captain, Ganu Gesh-kōm who was 24.
    On the 19th March, chief of the three hun decided to assemble in their capital, Nunxin (Gofr). That is when they founded Nylu-honxim and Ganu Gesh-kōm was proclaimed Raou.

    Reorganisation



    After etablishing themselves among the other hun while etablishing their own yah into the other ones, the Gōgū-dule Clan started reorganising Nylu-honxim, just like Leyu Xidao intended. The other hun were lead by a 'second Raou'. At the time, chief of the Kazū-mé Clan was Témūyin Qaedè, and chief of the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan was Tayun Dazō.

    The territory was splitted into three zone : the smallest were ruled by the smaller hun, the Kazū-mé Clan (west), and the Ohalu-tuwāitu Clan (east).

    Conquest of Dehterremya Islands, Northern Nanngah, Chybb'raks Islands and northern Ahnattoralyah



    Despite their newly acquired territory and its ressources, the clans were not satisfied. They gained a lot of lands and fields and lands, but after that, the population started growing again. The new organisation and the abundance of food and spaces made the population more fertil. In -1,280, control over the zone was total and few to no fight occured between clans.
    Peace was achieved, and by -1,271, people reproduced more. In -1,265, there was about 1.6 times the amount of men and women there was at the end of the first conquests.
    In -1,264, chiefs decided to prepare troops again to conquer even more lands. They spend two years preparing their soldiers in an even more effective way.

    In -1,262, some yah from the Gōgū-dule Clan and the Kazū-mé Clan were sent to Dehterremya Islands. It took them less than two months to defeat the Ba-qa and conquer the territories.
    In summer, the hun attacked many villages in Nanngah and north Ahrrabaryiah.

    In May -1,261, they reached the Xu-meig Clan's territory, and invaded their biggest villages in August. The enemy clan retaliated. Fearing the power of the attacking hun, many Xu-meig affiliated clans allied with them to defend their position. Many battles occured.
    In spring -1,260, almost every Xu-meig yah were defeated, while other retreated with the hun. Fights happened again in February -1,259.

    In April, Nylu-honxim walked again to northern Ahnattoralyah. The hun kept fighting during two years.
    It stayed calm until -1,256, and northern Ahnattoralyah got under the hun control in winter -1,255. Other small fights occured the next years, the biggest ones in winter -1,252, during October and December -1,251 and during February -1,250. The zone remained calm again during some years.

    In -1,246, some Odtomon clans allied against the hun and fought them during three years. During spring -1,242, Odtomon clans were very weakened and the last ones remaining surrendered.

    Nylun Society



    Religion


    The majority of the nylun population was detzuist, with a small helshist community and a very small minority of calist. Religion being an important topic and traditions being seen as essential, detzuism was part of political life and society. Most of the laws came from the Saucisse. Naturally, the state founded the cults and built temples. For example, the Saucisse Temple of Hahûn Zai in the capital city, Nanxin, and the Temple of Zu Lia in Xumpei. Later, in -1,202, Raou III Zen Oh-mi demanded the construction of a new temple in the detzuist 'capital city', Gen-bémg ; the Greater Temple of Xem Paipei was achieved in -1,170.
