Gaiju-Vastava Empire

The Gaiju-Vastava was a nomadic confederation turned powerful empire that dominated Ardenia for much of the 7th - 4th centuries BN. Originally a confederation between the two distinct tribes of the Gaiju and the Vastava, the tribes migrated into Ardenia in the 7th century and established a more centralized state there, even taking up the old anari title of "Saambaliq". They then periodically dominated the Gharmoun and the majority of Ardenia until their eventual collapse in the Green Cloth Rebellion.
