The 'Iifae Imamates, also known as the Varatrid Imamate, was a short-lived Yen polity established by the self-proclaimed messiah Jao Avotra in 1621. The 'Iifae Imamates came to dominate much of the landmass of modern Bemiritra in the middle of the seventeenth century. It was incorporated into the Yajawil of Barriset following its disastrous final defeat in the Ozeros War.
