| - The world was first settled in the 24th century by the Ur-Ukar clans of Vordwed and Bathkasada. The Ukari named the world Sada, meaning water. The only Ukari surface city was Sajik, although many underground colonies were established. The Ukari civil war halted the colonization, although many Aylon Ukari refused to get involved in it. Humans first landed on the world in the 26th century. These first human settlers were mainly from North America, and they called the world El Dorado. There were 1 million human settlers by 2800. Zebulon preached first on Aylon, on Prophet's Hill, after his vision of the Holy Flame on Yathrib, and his first disciples were from Aylon - the Sons of Fire. Humans and Ukari did not have any official contact until a conquering Ukari fleet arrived from Kordeth in 2855. It took humanity 50 years to recapture Aylon, after which the Ukar were moved onto reservations. Many off-world Ukari clans were moved to Aylon from Kordeth, while much of the land was seized by off-world aristocrats. In 3308, House Torenson became the rulers of Aylon under Bjron the Berserker. During the Second Republic, wildlife preserves and parks kept the world pristine. After the fall, House Torenson seized all remaining land on the world, a move that sparked a pro-Republican rebellion (4077-4116) which saw the deaths of many senior Torensons. After losing too many senior family members, the Torensons sold the world to House Keddah in 4119, a deal which included a pledge by which House Keddah promised to aid House Torenson in the event of war with the al-Malik. House Keddah fell into civil war in 4438, and the local Duke sought out al-Malik aid, trading land for military aid. In 4487, Torensons, under Masseri pressure, declared war on the al-Malik and House Keddah was then also obligated to declare war on the al-Malik. The al-Malik seized the world from House Keddah shortly thereafter and have held the world ever since. The Green Death struck Aylon early (4616-4623), killing 1/3 of the human and Ukari population. This was followed shortly by the so-called "Husk Crusade" from 4677-4681, which was defeated by an alliance of al-Malik, Avestites, Brother Battle and Ukari forces. Brother Battle was granted land on the world in exchange for their aid at this time. After the Green Death, the planet boomed, slavery virtually disappeared, quality of life vastly improved, and the local nobles dropped the use of the Graceful Tongue. In 4883, the Ukar Dyn'dran Oed Nata became a preacher for peace. He joined with the Obun Virta Han Loaj and the two created the Pariament of Speakers on Criticorum. Dyn'dran issued a call to Universal Brotherhood in 4911, which caused a split between traditionalist Ukari and the pro-al-Malik clans: Traditionalists wanted more representation in the Ukar Council, which was dominated by the al-Malik clans, but this plea was rejected. Traditionalists then sought out aid from the Ukar of Kordeth and from Bava!, creating the Ukari Freedom Movement (UFM). UFM sought Decados aid during the Emperor Wars, and Count Rurik Dmitri Decados came to help them, along with the Jakovians. Rurik was defeated by the Fifth Dark Legion in 4992, causing traditionalists to fall into civil war. The Countess Nudara al-Malik was generous in victory, giving the traditionalists the represetation they wanted. Many al-Malik knights now study with the Ukari to learn their martial arts and survival skills. There is no known slavery on Aylon today, and the serfs here are as wealthy as freemen on other worlds. Freemen are correspondingly very well off here. Everyone is allowed to carry a (registered) weapon. Much effort today is being spent to find the jumproute to Yathrib.
