 +**The Empire Dhakaani** was once a mighty [[Gobelinoid]] nation that dominated most of [[Khorvaire]] over a period extending from about [[Âge des Monstres|15,000 years ago to about 5000 years ago]]. This 10,000-year-period is called **The Age of Dhakaan **by scholars. 
 +
 +====== Histoire ======
 +In the Âge des Monstres [[Khorvaire]] was occupied by few races to oppose the expansion of the [[gobelinoides|Gobelinoid]] people (known as the //dar//, or the people in their native [[gobelin_langue|Gobelin]]). The [[gobelinoides]] clashed with various tribes of [[Orcs]] and [[homme-lezard]] (as well as [[draconien]]), and other {{tagpage>Humanoïdes}} present on [[Khorvaire]] at the time, as they built up great nations on the continent. The greatest of these was the Empire de Dhakaan.
 +
 +The Empire de Dhakaan was founded by [[Hobgobelins]].
 +
 +10,000 years ago the Dhakaani clashed with many Humanoïdes to consolidate their power. The Dhakaani encountered [[homme-lezard]] in the [[Plaines de Talenta]] and forced them across the [[Montagnes de la Fin Du Monde]] into [[Q'barra]]. The Dhakaani also clashed with the [[Tairnadal]] [[Elfes]] that had established a colony in [[Valénar]], before the [[Elfes]] were called back to their homeland for unknown reasons. The Dhakaani were pushed back from crossing the  [[Monts Ferreux]] by a united [[royaumes_profonds|nation]] of [[Nains]].
 +
 +The Dhakaani fought a [[guerre_daelkyr|war]] against the invading forces from [[Xoriat|Xoriat, the Realm of Madneess]], which exhausted the resources of their empire around 9,000 years ago; the [[Daelkyr]] were eventually defeated by the [[Gardiens]], an order of [[Orc]] [[classe:druide|druids]]. The empire is believed to have ultimately collapsed for good some 5,000 years ago.
 +
 +====== Society ======
 +[[Hobgobelins]] formed the basis for society in the Empire de Dhakaan. [[gobelours|Gobelours]] were bred as shock troops, while [[Gobelins]] served as slaves.
 +
 +Dhakaani culture was mainly focused on warfare. Their smiths crafted powerful weapons and armor. The architecture of the ruins of the Age of Dhakaan are austere or in turn baroque, with caligraphic ornamentation on jewelry and Objets Magiques.
 +
 +Dhakaani Gobelinoids worshipped no gods and reserved their devotion for the empire itself.
 +
 +Records exist of necromancer cults within Dhakaani society for a time before being destroyed by an emperor, which may have followed a powerful [[katashka_le_gardien_des_portes|entity]] from the [[Âge des Démons]].
 +====== The Héritiers de Dhakaan ======
 +There are few Dhakaani clans who preserved the traditions of the empire to the modern age. Known as the [[Héritiers de Dhakaan]], these groups hid in vaults to preserve their traditions. The remnant clans have emerged in modern [[Darguun]]. Some of these clans which maintain the traditions of the Perdu empire are the //[[Kech Volaar]]//, the "Word Bearers", and the //[[Kech Shaarat]]//, the "Bladebearers".
 +
 +Perdu relics of the empire exist in the Dhakaani ruins of [[Khorvaire]], which the clans that make up the [[Héritiers de Dhakaan]] jealously guard and seek to retrieve for their own use.
 +
 +====== Notes ======
 +The shift from 3.5e to 4e meant the introduction of the [[draconien]] into [[Eberron]]. The Dhakaani were said to have clashed with the [[draconien]] before they were forced to retreat back to [[Q'barra]].
 +
 +In the [[Legacy of Dhakaan]] book series by [[Don Bassingthwaite]] the last emperor of the Dhakaani, called the "Shaking Emperor", because he was afraid of everything, fled and disappeared, taking with him a [[byeshk]] scepter, an artifact held by countless emperor's before him. [[npc:haruuc_shaarat_kor|Lhesh Haruuc]], the ruler of modern [[Darguun]], desires the scepter as a symbol of his rule, hoping it will keep his people united.
 +
 +Keith Baker has suggested on his website that the various subraces of [[gobelinoides]] of the Empire Dhakaani were more harmonious in cooperating across the the three various races than those of the current age. This is attributed to the influence of the [[Daelkyr]] shattering their //eusocial bond//, which allowed cooperation among the three primary subraces ([[gobelour]], [[Gobelins]], and [[Hobgobelins]]).
