Dawra: Difference between revisions

Dawra originated in the 17th century C.E. in Hasa, a city in the Mukarras region of Aldaar. Dawrani rule would expand to the rest of the Aldaari homeland by the end of the century, and would stay undisturbed until 1844, when the empire built by Suleiman Abd'ildarra would collapse due to a succession crisis. While some sects of Dawra split off around this time, relations between them and the main sect remained good. In the 1930s, when the seven Aldaari republics were taken over to various degrees by foreign multi-national corporations, they would suppress Dawra throughout the republics, viewing cultural unity to be a threat to their power; all Maktabat were closed, home altars were banned, and the usage of incense and peyote was criminalized. However, given the extremely decentralized nature of Dawra, it was extremely difficult to fully destroy, and many groups of worshippers made homes for themselves in the deserts where the corporations rarely checked. After almost a century of persecution, a new Mutadiit, Yufraan Abd'ildarra, retook the original journey of Suleiman and reignited the Dawranis, leading to a revolution against the corporatist government in the [[Republic of Mukarras]] which would succeed in September 2022, and the ascension of Yufraan to the post of Mutadiit, the head of both the Dawrani religion and of the nation of Aldaar.
