Sindathi Empire

The Sindathi Empire is the largest nation on Terryth, rivaled only by the Eternal Kingdom of Kcathmar in the east. It is ruled by the Sindathi Emperor, of the Arrigar dynasty.

It is the product of conquest by the fierce horse nomads of the Andesian Plains, the Sindathi. They overran the old Kingdom of Kensorros, most of the Garreth Grandfather Cities, the easternmost lands of the Illar, the Jollarin, and some of the Torrethian ''Marror''. Some of these peoples mostly rule themselves as vassals, and others are directly ruled by Sindathi ''kaibari''. Tharr is a special vassal, created by treaty rather than by conquest after the Tharran warlord Rexlar the Great seized Imperial territory for colonization.

Borders

The borders of the Empire vary by local circumstance, but are roughly between the Aggonavid Mountains in the west, north over the Andesian Plains to the World's Crown Mountains, east to the Vallyrin Wood and Raven River, and south to the Sea of Storms, excluding Deepshadow and the Sunset Kingdom. Imperial authority over Sea Haven has never been direct and waxes or wanes over generations. Imperial authority fully encompasses the Raithos and Shemali rivers.

Great portions of the Andesian Plains are full of ethnic Sindathi, but the traditional nomadic ''fenbari'' play little role in the Empire and are not directly administered.
