The '''Kingdom of Alanahr''' is a {{wp|monarchy}} located in northeast [[Ajax#Scipia|Scipia]].  
'''Alanahr''' (Anahri: al-Anahr), formally '''The River Realms''' (Anahri: al-Kahlisar al-Anahrijah),  is a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}} located in northeast [[Ajax#Scipia|Scipia]] bordered by [[Vardana]] to the east, and [[Fahran]] and [[Charnea]] to the south.


==Etymology==
==Etymology==


The foreign name ''Alanahr'' is a cognate exonym as it, or foreign names similar to it, is similar to the native name of ''al-Anahr'' but is treated as a proper noun rather than translated based on the meaning of the words in Anahri.
The name ''Alanahr'' is a cognate exonym as it, or foreign names like it, is similar to the native name of ''al-Anahr'' but is treated as a proper noun rather than translated based on the meaning of the words in Anahri. A more direct translation of the native name ''al-Anahr'' is "the rivers" referring to the three major rivers of the nation in Anahri. The name comes from the Gharbaic word for "river" which replaced the various pre-Anahri names including ''D'akahga'' or ''Phlaminiphas'', also meaning "the river/rivers".


The native name ''al-Anahr'' is the Anahri for "the rivers" referring to the three major rivers of the nation. The name comes from the Gharbaic for "river" which retained the meaning of the historical name for the Anahri homeland. The historical Anahri homeland was based around the Pahkah river in the north and during the pre-Latin Conquest era was referred to roughly as ''D'akahga'' which meant "the river" and later "the rivers" when the Anahri homeland expanded beyond the Pahkah.
Prior to the Latin conquest of the region there existed a major kingdom that ruled lands roughly correlating to the modern territories of Alanahr. The name of this kingdom was ''Kahsahr D'akahga'' which would have meant to the locals "the land of the rivers". While this name was briefly lost when the region was conquered by the Latins both parts remained in some form. The historic homeland of the ancestors of the Anahri, the territories around the Pahkah river, was still referred to as the ''Kahsahr'' until today. The term ''Phlaminiphas'' meaning of "the rivers" was used by the Alatahn to refer to the lands once held by the historical kingdom and its meaning influenced later Gharbaic references to use words meaning "the river/rivers".


The use of the simple name despite the knowledge of other river cultures in pre-Latin Alanahr came from a strong local superiority mindset that eventually resulted in expansion and conquest of other local river cultures. The name retains an element of its political meaning as it reinforces traditional views on the Anahri homeland.
In the modern day the exact meaning of the native name continues to be "the Kingdom of the Rivers" with no native proper noun for the nation although the word for river is used effectively as a proper noun for the nation and its people. So much so that ''anahr'' is no longer used as a term to refer to any rivers barring those that make up the three key rivers of the nation: the Pahkah, the al-Kija or the Kahdan. Instead the term for a stream, ''amahj'', has been elevated to mean streams and rivers other than the three.


==History==
==History==
===Prehistory===
Nomadic ritualists arrived in Alanahr between the years 80,000 and 60,000 BCE, eventually spreading north to the then Pahkah Bay (which due to falling sea levels and soil deposition would become the modern [[Pahkah Delta]]). Despite the importance of the north today, the [[al-Kija|al-Kija Valley]] was the centre of human inhabitation at this time. Abundant food sources seemed to allow the development of complex social structures based on gaining favour with the spirits of the natural world.


==Government and Politics==
Migration by the prehistoric Vardani peoples into the [[Kalzashi Mountains]], forcing previous inhabitants to flee to the western river valleys, led to an overburden of population in the al-Kija Valley. Archaeological evidence in the form of waste piles, tools, pot fragments as well as the famous [[Akhu massacre site]] point to the development of sedentary lifestyles as well as an increasingly territorial culture around 10,000 BCE. Collectively this evidence has been attributed to the [[Akhu neolithic culture]]. These developments coincide with the advent of farming first spreading into the al-Kija Valley and Kalzashi Mountains. Though it is believed that it would take several thousand years before farming replaced hunting and gathering as the majority contribution to the diets of humans there.
 
Around 6,000 BCE the northern [[Thadu-Ru neolithic culture]] became defined by semi-nomadic pastoralism. Animal husbandry spread both from here and the Kalzashi Mountains to the Akhu peoples in the south. Multiple unique cultures seemed to have coexisted with each other during this time, developing a primitive river trade resulting in the exchange of pottery, tools and jewellery. Burial sites becoming separate in the Akhu culture for wealthier members of settlements suggests that social stratification increased as these developments occurred. At this time the [[Partesshar cave culture]] in the Kalzashi Mountains showed signs of proto-Caste structures in the way that carved cave dwellings were laid out.
 
Dynastic civilisations emerge around 3,000 BCE with tribute based Kingdoms in both the al-Kija and Kahdan valleys. These societies were based on a strict system of palace-cities ruled by kings or chiefs called [[Naja]], or [[Nuku-Naja]] if they ruled multiple tributaries as well. Around this time the [[Caste_system_in_Zashissan|Hassak caste system]] emerges in the Kalzashi Mountains, creating semi-theocratic warrior societies. Due to soil deposition and sea-level changes over the past millennia the Pahkah Bay had given way to the Pahkah Delta creating a base for a fully sedentary agricultural society. The region however remained divided between low authority Kingdoms and tribal pastoralists.
 
====Early Civilisations====
 
The Migratory A and B peoples would develop away from each other forming two separate cultural groups with subdivisions in these cultures occurring again. Eventually, by around 5600 BCE, there are distinctive if somewhat related cultures with major civilisations at their heads occupying most of ancient Alanahr. The northern Ut'ta, southeastern Sargida, western Ajarum, mountainous Lussi, far south Deshret and oasis dwelling Ishka represent the known cultures present at this time.

Alanahr (Anahri: al-Anahr), formally The River Realms (Anahri: al-Kahlisar al-Anahrijah), is a constitutional monarchy located in northeast Scipia bordered by Vardana to the east, and Fahran and Charnea to the south.

Etymology

The name Alanahr is a cognate exonym as it, or foreign names like it, is similar to the native name of al-Anahr but is treated as a proper noun rather than translated based on the meaning of the words in Anahri. A more direct translation of the native name al-Anahr is "the rivers" referring to the three major rivers of the nation in Anahri. The name comes from the Gharbaic word for "river" which replaced the various pre-Anahri names including D'akahga or Phlaminiphas, also meaning "the river/rivers".

Prior to the Latin conquest of the region there existed a major kingdom that ruled lands roughly correlating to the modern territories of Alanahr. The name of this kingdom was Kahsahr D'akahga which would have meant to the locals "the land of the rivers". While this name was briefly lost when the region was conquered by the Latins both parts remained in some form. The historic homeland of the ancestors of the Anahri, the territories around the Pahkah river, was still referred to as the Kahsahr until today. The term Phlaminiphas meaning of "the rivers" was used by the Alatahn to refer to the lands once held by the historical kingdom and its meaning influenced later Gharbaic references to use words meaning "the river/rivers".

In the modern day the exact meaning of the native name continues to be "the Kingdom of the Rivers" with no native proper noun for the nation although the word for river is used effectively as a proper noun for the nation and its people. So much so that anahr is no longer used as a term to refer to any rivers barring those that make up the three key rivers of the nation: the Pahkah, the al-Kija or the Kahdan. Instead the term for a stream, amahj, has been elevated to mean streams and rivers other than the three.
