Guha Dynasty

The Guha Dynasty was the first dynasty of the Tarakasane for whom solid historical records, detailing its entire history, exist. Taking over from the semi-legendary Damu Dynasty, it was in turn supplanted by the Omé Dynasty. Ruling for some 526 years, it encompassed most of the homeland of the Tarakasane, along the middle reaches of the Meidorién river, as well as portions east of the Atgama River, up to the city of Meiron.

Like the other early dynasties, the Guha ruled via a feudal system whereby clansmen of the imperial house were enfeoffed, often at strategic points, and given considerable independence in administration. This system, however, soon led to instability; within about two centuries of their foundation, the Guha's influence over its fiefdoms had decreased sharply, and remained quite unstable until its demise.
