The Khanate of Karalakh (Karalakhi: Karalax Xanliki) is a county-sized subdivision in Benacia. Part of the Federation of Musica, the Khanate was established in 4831 ASC from the western half of Crestfall Downs and parts of the neighbouring counties of Lywind and Shimmerspring.
Etymology
The term Karalakhi (Karalakhi: Karalaxi, Laqi: Kara-Laҳi; literally "Black Laqi") first appeared in 4830 ASC to describe the Laqi-speaking inhabitants of Crestfall Downs, Lywind and Shimmerspring who pledged allegiance to the lich Marie Dolores von Rossheim-Maltenstein. In local tradition, black denotes the north, so the name may be translated as "Northern Laqi"; others, however, have claimed that the colour refers to the taint of undeath.
History
The Khanate of Karalakh has its origins in the Laqi Secession of 4016, when forces loyal to Maksym Hadjimehmetov attempted to establish a Laqi Free Republic in Modan-Lach and the Laqi-inhabited districts of adjoining counties. In an attempt to make their declaration of independence more palatable to the Shirirthian government, the Hadjimehmetov regime effectively conceded large areas with clear Laqi-speaking majorities in Crestfall Downs, Lywind and Shimmerspring, resulting in the widespread alienation of these northern Laqis from their compatriots in the south.
