Tugrite Empire

The Tugrite Empire (/ˈtʊɡraɪt/, /ˈtʌɡ-/; Koxori: Tugyridi Zarimalór /ˈtugɤɾɪdi ˌzɑɾɪməˈɫor̥/; Classical Tugrite: Tûgriz-lidi) was a significant political entity that existed in Alapet in some capacity for nearly 2000 years. It was first founded in the early 16th century BCE by a confederation of nomadic tribes who settled in the Ankhulen Valley and subjugated the local city-states. Its history is generally split into three stages: the Early (or Upper) Period from 1588 – c. 1025 BCE, the Middle Period from c. 995 – 273 BCE, and the Late (or Lower) Period from c. 193 BCE – 414 CE.
