The Colony of Kühsor (Weranic: Colonie Kühsor), commonly called Kühsor (after the Nyaram city of Khawzar), was a crown colony of the Weranian Empire between 1877 and 1953. Between 1911 and 1923, and 1940 and 1953, it had limited enfranchisement to elect a legislative body known as the Volksrat.
Kühsor's origins lay in the Kingdom of Khawzar, a short-lived kingdom ruled over by Achim Ottmar von Mohl, a Rudolphine noble and adventurer in the 17th century. Ottmar, originally working as a mercenary for the Khaunban Emperor Borommarachathirat, rebelled when he was offered a crown by Nyaram nobles. From 1675 to 1680 he ruled Khawzar until his death, the kingdom ending with him. Interest in the area resurfaced in the 19th century as Euclean powers looked to secure Southeast Coius. In 1855 the Nguan lords of southern Kuthina rebelled against the Toeng dominated court and declared the kingdom of Lat Luataya, which had come to dominate the Nyaram Coast since the 1810s. Werania sent an expedition to aid the Toeng in 1877, securing the Mahakram gulf in the process. The Toeng formally ceded the Nyaram Coast and Himscha to Werania, and the two became separate crown colonies.
