Zubraynite dynasty
The Zubraynite dynasty was the second dynasty to rule over Packilvania.
History
Zubrayn of Tashkar founded the Lordship of Tashkar in 1015. He established a city in an area of central Mekedesh in Packilvania and named it Tashkar after his second wife who had died after giving child birth. Zubrayn sent his eldest son, Hadwan, to bring tribute to High King Thumim IV. There are various legends surrounding the story. For instance an etching on the Stone Tablet of Tashkar which was commissioned by Prince Dumheen I of Tashkar stated that Hadwan gave Thumim IV a gift of Fairy's Pearls. Nevertheless, whatever the encounter or gift, historic evidence supports the fact that Thumim IV accepted the gift and granted the House of Zubrayn the title of Prince.
The Princes of Tashkar paid tribute every two years to the High King. The High King in turn sent armies to protect Tashkar from bandits. The arrangement existed until around 1100. In this time, the Iktanite dynasty was facing economic difficulties due to drought and pestilence and internal political issues. The Iktanite dynasty collapsed and the rule of the Iktanite dynasty was reduced to the city of Bingol. The Iktanite ruler, High King Jezril V, was desposed. Many Princes declared independence from the High King and no other High King was installed. Bingol rose in prominence again starting in 1130 under King Jumhad I of Bingol. He attempted to reestablish his empire and managed to incorporate many of the areas of Mekedesh but his rule was weak and people refused to recognise him as the High King but nevertheless the Principality of Tashkar returned to his rule during the reign of Prince Thomhadek II of Tashkar.
They paid tribute to him and he pledged to protect them and so it continued from then to the 1260s and 1270s. During this time Prince Ishak (VI) of Tashkar was ruling over the Kingdom. Then King Uden II of Bingol was extorting Tashkar for high taxes to help fund his gradually weakening Kingdom, giving rise to complaints from Princes and conflicts with tax collectors. Thus, Prince Ishak sent a contingent to Bingol to demand that King Uden II reduce the obligations paid to them. The King refused to recognise the requests of the company led by Ishak and demanded that they cease.
Prince Ishak refused. There was escalation on both sides as Ishak's armies were camp outside of Bingolian territory. King Uden II threatened to destroy Ishak's armies and the Principality of Tashkar. Ishak sent for help from across the land. Many of the Princes sympathised with his situation and felt that Uden II was capable of doing the same to them. So, they sent their forces to aid Ishak. Furthermore, Ishak began to promise to be a benevolent ruler who shared the spoils with rather than extracted wealth from the Princes.
Many of them were drawn to this message. As such, they sent their forces and accepted his leadership. He was proclaimed King of Tashkar. This made Uden II extremely angry when he found out from his spies. Some of the generals heard that Ishak was proclaimed King and that the Princes were aligning with him so their hearts were torn in their support. Furthermore, King Uden II was divisive and aggressive with them in a way that diminished their confidence in his leadership. Nevertheless, he sent a force to destroy Ishak's armies. His forces were defeated and Ishak invaded Bingol. Many generals surrender to him and he accepted them into his fold.
He was declared the King of Bingol and Tashkar. He sent his armies across the land and offered protection to the nations that subjected themselves to him and accepted his rule. His armies expanded the territory of his Kingdom to Ashura and he took control of Akas Akil and Adrien. By taking the Holiest Cities in Paxism and being declared the Custodian of the Two Holy Temples, he was de facto made High King of the newly proclaimed United Kingdom of Bakil (also known as Packilvania) by Supreme Magister Hadool III.
