Reign of King Rathan: 1010-present

The Provinces of Dulgaron and Darganof Declare Independence - 1010

Landing in the Darganof in the year 1010, Rathan dreamed of founding a nation where all those who thirst for justice and freedom could find home. In 1011, he made an alliance with the rulers of the neighbouring province of Dulgaron by signing the charter of the independent country of Terres du Sud denouncing the current rule of Sultan Nakkan Ossan. In the year 1012, the citizens of the provinces crowned Rathan and officially made him their King.

War with the Sultan - 1013

After the people of the Terres du Sud chose Rathan Rex as their new king, a series of uprisings began against the Sultan Nakkan Ossan of Jabbal Ha who claimed to be the ruler of the provinces. Almost two years of war followed where King Rathan led our people in a war that erupted into a global conflict which would eventually see the Sultan forced to recognize the independence of the Terres du Sud.

After the victory of the forces of Darganof and Dulgaron against the armies of the Sultanate which had come to quell the rebellion, Rathan sent his best men in pursuit of the fleeing forces.

In the vast expanse of the Desert of Ma'at that separates the Cites de Sables and the Terres du Sud, the King's troops caught up to them but were overwhelmed by the numbers of the Sultan’s troops. The King headed deep in the Dulgare Mountains where he had the advantage. A place of red canyons and unforgiving sun, the Abu-Akr Rifts north of Darganof and Dulgaron was perfect for leading the defence against the Sultanate armies. After several days of battles in the scorching heat, the forces of the Terres du Sud Indépendantes were on their way to repelling a third invasion of the province as the Traquers emerged victorious.

When the devastating attack ended, the fortress still stood but the city was in ruins. The Redemptorists who had survived the obliteration left the safety of their dungeons to survey the damage. They were surprised, however, by the Sudiste survivors of the final battle with Sultan who had taken a detour to aid in the efforts to free Kazarun. Led by King Rathan, they swooped down on the smoking ruins and crushed the remaining Redemption forces. With this final victory, a unified Terres du Sud finally emerged.
