Agheze (A portmanteau of Mwo words Agha, meaning war and Eze, meaning king.) was the name used to refer to the several pseudo-houregic warrior kingdoms that existed in modern-day Tiwura following the collapse of the Kingdom of Adilun in the Dikebilie during the mid 1400s. These warrior kingdoms functioned in a different manner than the other true houregic villages and kingdoms that existed around them. The most influential warriors would take over and upsurp the smaller villages that were formerly under the hourege of Adilun. At the top of this new system was the Agheze, or warrior king. Below him came the Keji, a group of warriors appointed by the Agheze to serve as his advisors and military leaders. The warrior caste would come next, overtaking the priests as well as the king. Below them came them merchants, then the artisans, and then the menial workers. In many cases, several villages came under the rule of a single warrior, and many of the eze would offer loyalty and grant the Agheze with their own warriors and recieve protection from others. This would establish the organization of pseudo-Hourege Agheze system. An Agheze state would see the Ipele(Cogodaimic equivalent of a Hourege) be replaced a Nchebe (known as an Idabo in Gundaya areas), meaning protection or protector. Another difference between Hourege and Agheze was an Agheze king could not become loyal to another and remain in his position as the Agheze of a village. They must join the Keji of their new Agheze and surrender their village if they wanted to become loyal to them. This change in the system saw struggles for control over neighboring villages amounting in armed conflict more often than not.
History
Hourege in Medieval Tiwura
Southwestern Tiwura would see Hourege arrive in the 11th century, while the further north the Cogoday river region would first see Hourege during the 13th century. With increasing expansion of Irfanic Razzia States in the north, the Gundaya, Awa, Biwe, and Isowo peoples would rapidly accept the Houregic system. In the midlands regions, Hourege would not be established until the end of the 13th century due to many of them being under the rule of Irfanic states to the west. In southeast Tiwura, Houregeic states would not be formed until the 1270s, the reasoning for this is commonly believed to be the lack of Irfanic expansion into the region. However, by the 14th century nearly all regions of modern Tiwura were wither under the control of Houregeic or Irfanic states.
In the north, however, Houregeic states would rapidly develop and expand. The first few included Oborun, Funafa, and Ilumeta. During a war between the Razzia states and northern Fetishist houreges, the hourege of Alidun would take power and defeat both the Razzias and rival Houregeic states. This war, known in the Zamga Codexes as the War of the Rising King, ended with Adilun becoming the hegemon of northern Tiwura, extending of Uhiohia in the south to southern Asase Lewa. The center of the empire, located near modern-day Ogbaopuona, was the expansive and fortified city of Adilun. Adilun's location upon a hilltop allowed itself to become heavily fortified, and its early rulers would build walls rising 120 feet surrounding the city. The Zamga Empire would begin its expansion into Tiwura in the 1100s, and began its eastward push
