Mehyaran (Adzamasi pronunciation: /mɛhjɐʁɐn/) is the capital and most populous city of Tabiqa. It is located on at the confluence of the Ekuos river and the ((Kauzian?)) river. It is one of the oldest permanently-inhabited settlements on Sahar.
Etymology
History
Fossil records indicate modern humans used the site, probably as a trading post or seasonal pasture grouns, as early as BCE 18,000. Archaeological evidence indicates that permanent or seasonal dwellings existed in the region by BCE 4,600.
By BCE 1,000, Mehyaran was a centre of commerce for the Ekuosian desert, and a respectably-sized city. It served as the capital for the Adzamasi Empire which spread across much of north Baredina between BCE 500 and CE 700. After the fall of the empire, it was one of few areas to remain independent during the conquests of the Penaxxi and Kauzian empires.
It was re-established as the capital of modern Tabiqa in the 1700s.
