House of Kansar

The House of Kansar was a line of nobles and Emirs who ruled the nation of Quanzar from its founding in 2097 until 2110. Originally the Lords of much of the northern region of Therak and then of greater north, the House expanded under Harun ibn Muhammad, fourteenth lord of Kansar, whose brilliant military career led to the unification of Quanzar under his dynasty.

The first records of Kansar are from the late 16th century CE, when various Arabic-speaking tribes immigrated into Quanzar from eastern Majatra. The Lords of Therak asserted a sphere of cultural and military dominance over the whole of north, and various local nobles, many of them members of junior branches of Kansar, ruled portions of Pheykran in a quasi-feudal system. Culture and science flourished under the patronage of the Kansaran lords, who styled themselves as "Emirs of Therak and Pheykran, Lords of Greater Kuanzar," and political stability cultivated a robust mercantile economy.

In the 18th century, the dynasty came into conflict with the Estalian colonists in the south, and this contact initiated a prolonged power struggle that ended in the subjugation of all of modern day Quanzar under a single dynasty.
