The Great Betrayal
After treating with seven nomadic
Bakluni merchant clans at a merchant
gathering in -2064 CY, the Suel merchant-
mage, Odiafer, attacked the Bakluni
traders, attempting to take their goods
and enslave them. The families drew their
wagon trains together and fought to the
last person instead of surrendering.
Nine years later Suloise armies marched
into the northern plains and claimed
overlordship. Most nomads put up a
fierce resistance but in the end they
succumbed to the might of the Suel. The
first Suloise fortresses in the north were
constructed over the next decade. For the

next 600 years the eastern Bakluni were
subjugated by the Suel.
The Suel Imperium had now grown to
encompass the entirety of central Oerik
from the Dramidj Ocean in the north,
to the Vohun Sea to the south and the
Crystalmist and Tyurzi mountains to the
east and west.
Under one of their wandering chieftains,
Alib, the Bakluni united in -1,545 CY in
an effort to throw off the Suloise yoke.
In -1,540 CY “The First Victory” as the
Bakluni call it occurred. This was the War
of Seven Score Days, wherein the Bakluni
were aided by several Jinn nobles and the
war was over in under 3 months.
Having an incompetent Imperator on
the thrown at the time, the Suloise ceded
a large portion of their northern territories
to the Bakluni without further conflict.
Afterward the Amirs gathered and elected
Alib by proclamation, as “Padishah of All
the Families of the Bakluni.”
