History[edit]
Nenta Kingdom[edit]
The Empire of Karan started as one of the Nentan Kingdoms, known as Karantank and founded in Remuymaga 285. As Karantank started taking over its neighbors, the country was renamed to the Empire of Karan in Remuymaga 406.
Imperial Karan[edit]
Karantank was very successful in general, taking over most of Quillan at its peak in Karlan 171, including the majority of modern-day Quill Kingdom and Saygen.
However, shortly after this peak, the Empire of Karan's economy crashed as a result of repeatedly failing to conquer the Linnekarta Mountains. This caused many states to secede and claim sovereignty once more, such as Rauratoshan and Akuylakan. Ultimately, what was left of Karanian power was used to dismantle the royal rule that seemed to lead the country astray, forming the Republic of Karan in Dúrisa 48.
Legacy[edit]
The legacy of the Empire of Karan and its collapse did remain for some time. Most of the resulting countries were not in great condition for some time following the collapse, but some were able to stabilize themselves. Most successful were the Republic of Karan themselves and the Rauratoshan Kingdom, the latter of which would try to recreate the Empire of Karan's prosperity through the Quill Kingdom.
The third-to-last dynastic period of the Rokaselan calendar before the present of Drawn to AfterLife is known as "Karlan", as at this time, Rauratoshan was part of the Empire of Karan.
