Kingdom of Arakhim

The Kingdom of Arakhim (Kathuran: ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܘܪܗܝ Malkūṯā d-Bayt ʿAraḥ) was a Kathuran-speaking kingdom in the Middle Ages, ruling over the territory of the Barmenian provinces of Arakhim and Kathuristan. The Kingdom was founded in 1154 after the fall of the Sacred Monarchy of Beiteynu, and was one of the early opponents of the rise of the Ahmadi Caliphate. Enjoying strong support from Cildania, the Kingdom of Arakhim resisted conquest until 1432, when it fell to Caliphal armies. The Barmenian Apostolic Church has its roots in the state church of the Kingdom of Arakhim.
