'''Aldaar''' (Asahri: ''الدار)'', officially '''The Divine Republic of Aldaar''' (''جمهورية'' ''الدار'' ''الالهية'' [jum-HUUR-yat al-DAAR a-laa-la-HII-ya]) is a theocratic republic located in the Anabat Desert of Alaria, a subcontinent of [[Gondwana]]. It borders [[Askaraban]] to the south and the [[Pacific Ocean]] to the west. The Aldaari city of Hasa is the birthplace of the national [[Dawra]] religion, and Aldaar's capital and most populous city is the coastal city of [[Mukarras]].
It is unknown exactly how or when people first arrived in Aldaar, but the prevailing belief is that the deserts of Aldaar were originally settled 200,000 years ago by [[Orc |Orcs]] migrating southwards as a result of desertification who managed to make their home in the vast desert; however, a less-supported theory holds that the desert is actually the homeland of the entire Orcish species long lost to the same desertification process, and the people living there were staying behind and gradually learned to adapt over generations. Eventually, Humans would migrate to the Anabat and, due to having generally longer life expectancies and requiring less caloric intake, would become the dominant species in the area around 50,000 years ago. Meanwhile, the first evidence of [[Vulpine#Variants|Aldaari Vulpines]] comes about 36,000 years ago. Due to the harsh desert conditions in the area, as well as a broad mountain range to the south, contact between the Aldaari peoples and external governments was virtually non-existent for most of history, with only sparse trade between the southernmost tribes and the [[Sayyed |Emirate of Sayyed]]. As these tribes often funneled goods throughout the entire desert, this led to the entire Aldaari language of [[Asahri]] having close ties to the Sayqidi languages of Atasiyaqidu and Haqen. However, the Aldaari tribes otherwise developed a unique cultural identity tied strongly to desert life.
Around the beginning of the Middle Ages, the Aldaari tribes began to see a massive influx of new population as several countries began sending their criminals and exiles to the Anabat Desert. The majority of these exiles were taken in and reintegrated into desert society by the Aldaari tribes, which each became extremely diverse, and led to technological advancements which would cause some tribes to become at least partially settled starting in the 12th century. In the early 17th century, the Dawran prophet [[Suleiman Abd'ildarra]] would unite the Aldaari tribes into a single nation, which would last until 1844 when disputes over succession caused the country to split into seven separate republics. In the 1930s, foreign multinational corporations would discover vast oil reserves in the desert and begin to supersede local authority, in some cases setting up banana republics and in other cases outright corporatocracies. These were plagued by cultural suppression and popular resistance, and in 2022 a new Dawra prophet [[Yufraan Abd'ildarra]] would lead a successful uprising in the [[Republic of Mukarras]], and reform the Divine Republic of Aldaar with the intention of once more uniting the desert.
