Dostani

The Empire of Dostani is a human empire located on the eastern coast of Itanea. It borders Y'elshar and Terache to the north, Ascuva, Medoran, and Yetary to the west, and finally Rhedrijan and Galhri to the south. It is the second-largest nation in Itanea, only surpassed by Gozzun.

Dostani is ruled by Emperor Lygar VI Marcon, who inherited the throne from his father, Emperor Valian XI Marcon, in 2628 AH. The capital of the empire is the city of Alzinca, the largest city on the continent.

History
The empire was established in 1086 BH by Emperor Valian I Marcon, who was a general in the Carhuni Army. Within a few years, the empire consisted of the entire eastern coast of Itanea, and was by far the largest nation on the continent.

The elvish kingdom of Y'elshar was once a Dostanian province. However, as a result of the Dostanian Civil War in 2031 AH, the Y'elsharish elves gained their independence, supported by both Ascuva and Rhedrijan.

This lead to another war in 2383 AH, the Reconquest of Y'elshar, where Dostani attempted to regain their lost province. Y'elshar was once again defended by the Ascuva, but initially Dostani had the upper hand and occupied Cerrati, the Ascuvan capital, as well as most of Y'elshar. However, during the summer of 2384 AH, the tide turned when Terache decided to rush to the defense of Y'elshar and Ascuva. A few months later a peace treaty was signed, where the Dostanian ended up paying significant sums in war reparations to the three nations, as well as ceding the strategically important Pisano Islands to Y'elshar.
