### SUNAI CALIPHATE

***A Hodja practicing necromancy***

  The western themes have always been the most unstable, due to their small land connection to the main empire  and their harsh environment beyond the coast. A lot of heresies and sects have sprung from there, which ultimately led to the Ginja religion.
  The Ginja claim a continuation with the Esavians, a long extinct group of simians, who had a belief that they were the true inheritors of the blessing of Ivriim and were envious of the political might of the Yakovites and their possession of the City, Yarosali. The devil, seeing such weakness, sent many visions and prophecies to the Esavians and would slowly teach them dark magic.  
  Many of these dark teachings were written down, but also lost for a very long time. That was, until Ilibadesh, the founder of Ginja, had an encounter with an "angel", who instructed the prophet where to find these texts. The prophet would also gain additional visions, prophesies and knowledge that added on top of the Esavian "revelations" and with that, he started teaching the local ekiznikian nomads.
  Soon the members of Ginja grew, until they had a force large enough to prepare a surprise invasion and their goal was to take Yarosali, as well as the rest of the Mirian Empire. With the coming of the morgs, an opportunity to strike from Sunai appeared and the scourge was unleashed towards the wicked and innocent alike.
