K'iorasca

''"A firm hand stops all winds." - Ancient K'iorascan proverb''

K'iorasca is a councillary republic in the Northwestern region of the Illyrian continent, bordered on the West by the Nahabi desert. Records of Tabaxi settlements in the area date back to the Primordial age, making the Tabaxi among the first people to implement written language in Kainos.

History
The monarchic K'iorascan Old Guard was formed by a Tabaxi ruler, Makhlab I, from a combination of Tabaxi and Desert Elf territories in the latter half of the Venerable Age. Situated near the Elemental Gate of Air, K'iorasca was largely distanced from the Dragon Wars of the Sunless and Third Regal Ages, and thus was able to thrive and develop technology and trade during this period. This Empire was bounteous and benefited from trade with the newly-developed Hygard and flourished from this alliance.

Following a military coup and the outbreak of the K'iorascan Civil War during the Golden Age, a New K'iorscan Council was established and the nation was converted into a military republic. Many royal and noble families migrated to Hygard during the conflict.
