The Kingdom Of Mani ("Ma-kneE") was formed in the year 79 First Era after the Rise Of Huntir forced a multi-war succession among a small tribal collection of tribes called the Formation Of Mani, and the Formation Of Fami. Then, years later, Huntir Halon bided for his right to be King under religious claims, and became the first King Of The Mani Kingdom Of Solma. The Mani quickly expanded over the next Era, nearly rivaling the power of the Osmax for centuries until their sudden decline in the 6th Century.

History

Formations

When Huntir I declared war on the surrounding tribes for an unknown reason, two Formations formed. One was called the Formation Of Mani, of which Huntir was apart of, and the other was the Formation Of Fami. Outnumbering the Fami by at least 3:1, the Mani attacked them. After decimating the entire Formation Of Fami, burning down every village they could, the problems had only begun. After rising high in the few ranks of the Formation, Huntir I declared himself to be king according to the words of Moruth, God Of the Solma Religion. Eventually, he became the first King of the Mani. Officially naming the kingdom the Mani Kingdom Of Solma, Huntir I began his reign.

Expansion

After Huntir began his reign, the Kingdom expanded. Huntir instituted laws including crime, security, and sanitation. He began building the Kingdoms' reserves of money up, spending it on expensive projects to help his people. This included small canals to divert water, forestry industries, and farms to grow more food. Huntirs reign was peaceful, and his people soon transformed from the uncivilized barbaric warriors they had been to strong independent Mecas. When Huntir died in 99 First Era at the age of 49, chaos enveloped the nation.

Succesion War Of Gultur

When Huntir died in 99 First Era from a supposed heart failure his son Syllius Halon, only 21 years old, was killed at the hands of a low-ranking military officer by the name of Gultur Erantus. Gultur had slowly risen through the ranks of the military until finally stopping at the rank of Tex. Without any further progression likely, Gultur saw his moment to take charge and killed the coronated King. Allied with his soldiers under his command, with no King left to follow, Gultur took the throne by force. It was extremely unlikely for him to succeed under the circumstances, but due to killing the King before he was coronated, some saw it as an act of Moruth. To persuade the Mani Army to follow Gultur, and not rebel against him in favor of the unofficial son of Huntir Halon, Frantir Halon, Gultur gave out massive amounts of funds as a sort of bribe. For his second in command as Mosa, he would choose his sister's brother Tulus Mang I. He is regarded as a foolish King armed with a sharp sword and mouth. He conquered lands for the Kingdom during his reign, but otherwise accomplished little else. His reign ended in 119 First Era, after an attack on a tribal village in Central Susland. Because he was sterile, Gultur months before his death declared Tulus Mang I to be his successor.

2nd Century Kings

Being Mosa for Gultur's entire reign, and already in line for the throne unless told otherwise, Tulus Mang I he took the throne at the age of 49 before dying 11 years later at the very old age of 60. Tulus's reign was very similar to Gulturs in the fact that the Kingdom experienced little growth, except for Tulus's famous act; the Colonial Land Association Act. This act enacted the Colonial Empire that the Kingdom Of Mani is most well known for, and thus a very influential act.

Stability

Stability in the Kingdom was relatively stable, except for the Gultur Succession, and the great turmoil times of the Maki Era. Stability was eventually restored after Huntir II reclaimed the throne, and began a time of peace. The crazed times of Mani are known for his tyranny and horrible deeds.

Political Hierarchy

The Political Hierarchy of the Kingdom began with the King, which held nearly supreme power in all decisions regarding the state. The King often would choose a successor, and if not then by default it would be the Mosa. When the King died, and had not declared a successor and or the Mosa was his successor, the Mosas would become King and another Mosa was appointed. They often held high regard such as a General, or of wealthy status.

Underneath the Mosa was the Generals of the Mani Army, ranked by rank and then seniority. More often than not the Generals held extreme political power, and could sway votes and decisions regarding the entire Kingdom with simple movements or their army. Even words that could suggest a threat could motivate others to act differently. Many times a Generals ambition would be to become Mosa, and then King. The slight problem with the system of Mosa however was the power of the King to appoint any one person he so desired, and thus could appoint a person completely out of bias. Families would reign for years before they were pushed out of power.
