Vaha Tamehar was the founder of the khanate of Wozan, a predecessor to the modern state of Zinsha-Vogia, with its capital at X. An ethnic Rashtuni and formerly a Rashtuni general, Tamehar was disgraced by the Rashtuni khan X after embezzling funds from the treasury. Following this he gathered an army and seized power in Zinsha and Vogia, unifying the territories as a sovereign state for the first time.

During his six-year reign Tamehar ruled Wozan with an iron fist, and was wildly unpopular with the general populace.

Early Life

Rise to Power

Invasion of Vogia

The collapse of the Great Horde provided Tamehar with the opportunity to make a name for himself in the ensuing chaos. On [Month] [Day], [Year], Tamehar invaded Upper Vogia with X troops. The chaos of the Great Horde's collapse had put Vogia in a state of disarray with minor nobles seizing control of different cities, and with crime rampant outside major ones. Tamehar took advantage of this and defeated force after force of disorganized Vogian militias, he developed a reputation for brutality, sparing no soldier, and decapitating and hanging the heads of defeated commanders on city walls. By [Month] of [Year] he had subdued all of Vogia, and made preparations to invade Zinsha.
