=History=

Initial Colonization and start of civilization
The Avahya Archipelago was originally colonized in the westernmost islands by the Maldivan people, this part in particular being similar to the main Maldives islands, the Maldivan people would live in isolation from the outside world for generations. the Second group of inhabitants were the Pandiyan people, who colonized much of the eastern archipelago (now known as the Panchaian Isles). These two peoples would live on the same archipelago, ignorant of each other, as the Pandyan dynasty died off, the inhabitants of the island remained.

in the late 600s, Islam was starting its conquest of Persia, Zoroastrian people, wanting to avoid extinction, frantically retreated into the sea, hoping to make it to the mythical Pearl islands, however their sails failed, and blew them off course. Instead, the people landed on a unpopulated, arid, equatorial paradise, with no choice, they settled down and started to colonize surrounding islands. After 100 years, the entirety of the central island chain was owned by the Zoroastrian people, and very easy conversion was being done on the Panchaians and Maldivans, as their lands were slowly integrated. By 780, the entire Avahya Archipelago was under Zoroastrian control, split into multiple tribal kingdoms, city/island states, the archipelago would face off against conflict with each other for generations, creating their own innovations in the process.

European Discovery
Ibn Khordadbeh discoverd the land sometime around the year 900, but it was forgotten thereafter as he continued his travels into the ocean. In 1524, Portuguese Explorer Vasco De Gama discovered the island, landing on it after noticing civilization. the People of the Archipelago of Avahya greeted them, Vasco noted how they were not Muslim, when asked about it, they mentioned their religion, Zoroastrianism. Vasco and his crew were given foods and commodities from the region, Vasco then left to get to India, leaving behind diseases that would ravish the nation for the next few years. With the rediscovery of the land, Arabians began to flock to the island, hoping it was the mythical Al-Wakwak or pearl islands, and wanting to get some of the archipelagos gold. This lead to years of fighting between Muslims and the Archipelago, creating a general disdain towards Muslim populations (especially Muslims in the middle east).

As The archipelago continued to fight amongst themselves, they discovered the art of flight via hot air balloons, which would become vital in the coming conflict. In 1678, The British wanted to increase their control over India, and needed a base of operations to stage invasions from, the Avahya archipelago was seen as weak, a small force was sent to set up a base of operations. The small British force was quickly overrun by the Avahyans, who stole muskets and used old canals as trenches. the natives would lay siege to  the British, cutting supply lines and cutting off aqueducts, causing many British to begin to starve. the natives enticed the British to their side with food, and by the time reinforcements arrived a year later, the invasion force had either starved, or joined and trained the natives. after two more months the British finally decided to negotiate, and managed to get a port in return for the Natives being given European technology. Negotiations were held by the house of Saher, lead by Pedram Saher. His negotiations skills made him popular among the houses of the archipelago, and the need for unity they unanimously came to agreement, Pedram Saher would become the first Shah of the Kingdom of Avahya. Avahya maintained close relations with Britain throughout the ports lease, and even once its lease was up in 1880 they still maintained relations.

When the first world war break out, the Kingdom of Avahya remained neutral, until some Ottomans attacked a Avahyan ship (mistaking it for a British ship), Avahyan forces would fight primary in Arabia, with the Ottomans, now turkey, paying reparations to Avahya. After the war, there as an obvious demand for oil, a resource Avahya had been extracting since 1899, they quickly began trading oil to other nations and quickly became rich until the stock market crashed in 1929. Pedram Saher II was assasinated in 1933, causing a political crisis that led to the 18 year old Parvis Saher I as the new Shah of the nation in 1934. By 1936, the nation remains unstable, its economy has recovered but the houses remain divided
