The Great Kun, (Xiaodongese: 大焜 ; fuhao: Dà Kūn), also known as the Kasi Kun, and initially as the Later Jiao (後皎 Hòu Jiǎo), was a Xiaodongese dynasty of Kasi origin which flourished during the tumultuous Transition from Jiao to Toki. It was founded by Intharatcha, founder of the Khaunban Empire, after he captured Rongzhuo from an ailing Jiao dynasty after its flight east due to the Red Orchid Rebellion. It caused a splintering between the Jiao princes, which allowed the ambitious Toki Sinzou to conquer much of Xiaodong for his nascent Toki dynasty. Rongzhuo was captured in 1667 by the Toki, and the dynasty was largely stagnant after Intharatcha's death in 1673, only holding on to minor territory in Xiaodong's east. The Toki would capture these lands in 1682 and sack Sippom, reducing the Khaunban Empire to a rump state centred around the city of Khaunban. The murder of its last emperor Kriang Krai in 1685 would see its claims forgotten and the dynasty become defunct.
- something about the dynasty having the potential to become the first conquest dynasty of Xiaodong. Jiao to Toki unique transition as it had three possible conquest dynasties: Gurkhan, Toki, and Khaunban. Talk further about divides between Jiao princes and Intharatcha, problems of maintaining Khaunban empire in east with Xiaodong invasion in west. Dynasty largely irrelevant after Intharatcha's death, only used for administration of Xiaodongese territories -
