The Founagé Dominion of Heaven was a Bahian Razzia state based in the Fersi desert and Boual ka Bifie, in modern day Mabifia. It was founded during a series of Irfanic holy wars and razzias at the start of the 900s and represented the first of a series of Irfanic states which would raid Inner Bahia, triggering the Bahian Consolidation and permanently changing the societal structure of Bahia.
Origins
While Irfan had been present among the Ndjarendie since almost the advent of the religion, it was concentrated among the Sares where trade with the First Dominion of Heaven was most present. During the 800s, Irfanic clerics began to preach to the pastoralist Ndjarendie clans, resulting in several clans adopting the religion. At the end of the century, several of these clans came together under the banner of Fakruddin Bâ, a Ndjarendie preacher who called for the Irfanic Ndjarendie to unite together and bring the faith east to the predominantly fetishist Ouloume peoples of Inner Bahia.
Structure
The Founagé Dominion of Heaven was structured as a tribal federation organised along similar lines to those which would define the Houregic system where the leaders and Ulama of the different clans swore their loyalty to a hereditary leader. He took the title of Asardaki, a Ndjarendie representation of the Pardarian Sardar-ye Etadaqdaran Commander of the Faithful). The Almami was based within the town of Founagé, a medium sized Sare centred on an oasis in the Boual ka Bifie.
Zenith
At its height, the Founagé Dominion of Heaven dominated much of the central Boual ka Bifie and launched numerous raids upon the fetishist Sares of inner Bahia. As the first Razzia state, Founagé represented a centre of trade and religious scholarship. It held a large number of slaves taken during its raids, who were a key part of the state's economy and army. Founagé also established ties with the Xieme Dominion of Heaven, strengthening its prestige.
Decline
Despite its early successes, the Bahian consolidation marked the beginning of the end for the Founagé Dominion of Heaven. Unable to replicate the successes of its earlier raids, Founagé was defeated at Kaanmaabe by the armies of Koyizo Nzorfu in the first of a series of defeats. While the federation was able to survive following the Bahian consolidation, it began to decline as rivals began to strike back and assert their authority. In 970, Founagé were defeated by a Mirite state in the Farkí valley. This defeat marked the start of the final decline, with Founagé losing several key allies. At the start of the 1000s, Founagé itself was conquered by another Razzia state.
