Koxor

Koxor (or Kokhor), officially the Democratic Kingdom of Koxor (/kəˈhɔː(r)/; Koxori: o Zarilor Akhájeke Koxór [ɔ ˈzaɾɪɫɔr̥ əˈχɑjɪkɛ kʰɔˈχor̥]) is a nation located in the region of Alapet on the continent of Larania in Alcris. It borders Ghazva, the Eriya Republic and Down Unian to the west and the Aunic Ocean to the east. It covers an area of 3,356,784 km2 (1,296,062 sq mi), making it the largest country in Larania and the third-largest in the world.

History
The first evidence of human habitation in Koxor dates to around 10,000 BCE. The Kareleir cave in modern Itekha County contains a series of hand-paintings done by these Neolithic inhabitants of the Ankhulen valley. Written records are non-existent until c. 2500 BCE, with the earliest inscriptions written in the Proto-Khorensin script. By this time, the speakers of the Southern Alapetic languages had become distinct from those of the Northern languages, as is clear from the now-extinct language of these inscriptions. Most of the small city-states that inhabited Alapet at this time were only along the eastern coast, away from the steppe nomads to the east. The coast of this region is infertile, so the cities relied mainly on internal trade to build wealth. One of the cities, Khore, along the Ankhulen river, began to dominate the area in the early 2nd millennium BCE, organising its traditional faith into the first aspects of the Khorensi religion.

Khore reached its height under the reign of Ohyul III (c. 1884 – c. 1850 BCE) and Ikam (c. 1847 – c. 1822 BCE). These two rulers greatly expanded Khoren influence, uniting the cities of the Ankhulen Valley and the surrounding coastlines. After the 1800s BCE, the Khoren kingdom began a gradual decline that would end in c. 1714 BCE when the city was finally sacked and destroyed by a people known as the Ipeduk. This presumed nomadic tribe apparently set up a kingdom that lasted a few decades before its own collapse.
