Jemra

The Kingdom of Jemra is a small coastal state on the coast of the Rosorro Sea on the continent of Hamaji, bordering the Kingdom of Bahar and the Archkingdom of Eradina 's territory of Miryath. Jemra is ruled by the Jasari Dynasty under Queen Rayida Jasari as an absolute monarchy. It is a major financial centre and attracts nobility from all over the Saherist world as well as from the continent of Ortus. Its capital, Jemra City, is famously the site of over a hundred palaces, almost all of them built from the smooth pink marble quarried from nearby Warad-i-Jadar.

Jemra was historically just a loose collection of tribes to the west of the pirate federation of Bahar, but came to be a unified polity when it was invaded and occupied by the Principality of Dierado and the other Meredon Kingdoms over which it held hegemony, as part of the campaign to subjugate Bahar. Dierado set up the puppet state known as the Protectorate of Jemra and elevated one of the tribes to the status of royal family. Following the Eradine invasion of Miryath and Nakhadar, the Kingdom of Hamaji in cooperation with the Kingdom of Bahar and the Republic of Ankrabad liberated Jemra from Meredon dominance in order to curb the growing Eradine hegemony over Saherist-majority nations. However Jemra to this day retains some of its Ortusian influences, and serves as something of a geopolitical middle-ground for negotiations between the Eradine and Hamajin power blocs.
