Political event
The year two kingdoms did the unthinkable and united under a king of kings to strengthen themselves to face the raiders from the Northern Desert.
As the raids from the Northern Desert were getting worse and the young Mankan Empire with it's revolutionary psudodemocratic system set it's sights northward, the Aurukshukan and Shayanaha somehow set aside their human-manderthal hostility and created a semi-united federation led by a divine figure known as a Dalkndalk (a king of kings). This rare occurance was somehow successful and lasted for millennia and nobody knows why.
