| - The Ur-Ukar settled this world in 2405, at which time they met Mwatta, the last of the Shadow People and the Spirit of Istakhr. Ukari Shamans attempted to conquer her through the power of Anikrunta, but she shed her skin and escaped. Ukari psychics then contained her in a pentagram, successfully imprisoning her; she then foretold of their loss of the world. Later in the 25th century, most Ukari settlers return to their homeworld to participate in the civil war, while only a few remained in the arctic circle region. Humans arrived from Aylon and Stigmata and called the world Rehla. Tyre was built in the 28th century, controlled by Shar al-Din, a Lebanese merchant family. Tyre was the birthplace of Doramos, the famous world-builder. Tyre fell to House Dunama, an african aristocracy. Clans Hashin, Jamsheed and Jawhar united to destroy Tyre in 2847, destroying the world's only spaceport and effectively isolating it from the rest of the Known Worlds. The Dunama fled the destruction of Tyre and retired to the southern hemisphere, founding the cities of Kanem and Biran. The Istakhr Market began some time before the 30th century. It was taken over by Clan Hashin in 2950. Samarkand was built specifically to house and protect the Istakhr Market. The al-Malik originated on Istakhr as wool sellers in the eastern desert of Es-Sahara. The Ukari conquered the world in 2870, destroying Clan Hashin and setting up Clan al-Amar as a puppet government. Actually, the Ukari were only able to conquer Samarkand - the desert nomads continued to roam free. When the Ukari were finally defeated, the al-Amar clan was destroyed, but the Bashshar Corporation, that had cooperated with the Ukari, remained. Arif al-Malik (who lived in the 35th century) beheld a vision in the desert and began converting people to the Pancreator's faith. Nawar Caspari, owner of Bashshar Corp and of Istakhr, eventually married Arif, passing control of both the company and the world to the al-Malik. During the 2nd Republic, the al-Malik refocused their power on Criticorum and Shaprut and the world of Istakhr came under the influence of House Cestmir. Rahimat al-Malik invaded in 4460 and annihiliated House Cestmir, reclaiming the world for the al-Malik. Asim al-Malik of Istakhr attempted to recreate the Republic in 4490, but was killed on Byzantium Secundus. Tahir al-Malik (46th century) created the Mutasih by merging the various Market police organizations. Tahir also heavily relied on Ukari soldiers to maintain the peace. During the Emperor Wars, House al-Malik exchanged Hawkwood aid against the Symbiots for trading rights on Imperial worlds. Istakhr is a desert world and requires extensive food imports from Aylon and Shaprut. It is, however, home to one of the largest agoras in the Known Worlds - the Istakhr Market.
