==== Early Raku Dynasty ====
The Raku Dynasty is the first Esmiri dynasty which is widely agreed to have existed among religious and secular scholars alike. It was founded around 2500 BC. The earlier emperors are not known, however, the first recorded one was Emperor Tadumo who claimed direct lineage from King Layem as appointed by the Irapka Sesom I of Zayem on behalf of God from over a milennia earlier.
==== Kathar Documents ====
The final years of the Raku Dynasty around 1700BC again are not quite clear. Prophecy in the Old Documents foretold of a completion to God's law in the form of a prophet, which according to the Katharians was complete in the ascension of Emperor Kathar to the throne. According to the Kathar Documents, Kathar claimed to be the enlightened prophet of God, performing miracles and healing wounded homeless people. Despite being Emperor, he slept on the streets and tended to the sick, which was unheard of and entirely inappropriate for an emperor. The entirety of the Old Estam, with the exception of one Irapka Zemo II of Temra, motioned to have Kathar stoned. Kathar was instead crucified by a band of religious zealouts and Zemo II was then sentenced by his fellow Irapkas to be hung, until Kathar descended from heaven. Under pure shock, the Old Estam accepted Kathar as the prophet. Finally, God is said to have appeared to the Old Estam and hundreds of others, in front of whom he declared Kathar as Himself revealed in the flesh in a fully divine-human nature. A key to heaven was given to Zemo II who with the rest of the Irapkas founded the Orthodox Katharian Church on behalf of God.
What is most peculiar is that prior to Kathar, there was no "th" sound in Ancient Esmir. A new letter was created specifically for Kathar's name.

==== Hashema Dynasty ====
▲The years at which the events took place in the Old Zastam are not clear, leading many aspects of its existence to be contested by secular historians, who hold the events in the Old Documents to scrutiny. Meanwhile, religious scholars argue for its legitimacy. Certain non-Zastamite spiritual movements in the region hold the Old Documents in high regard.
From around 1900 BC, the people of the Raku Dynasty began to refer to their civilization as Esmir ("blessed kingdom").
