===History and Relations===
The Ladari Dynasty has a rough history. The land was forcibly occupied by the growing [[Batur History#Dunian Empire|Dunian Empire]] from the west since 200AL. A general from [[Yinchu]] began to oppose the Dunians in western Yyele and take back lands, eventually coming to found the Ladari Dynasty around 700AL. The [[Oolu]] Empire was the next force to invade, and they conquered most of Ladari before being forced to retreat, but as they did the [[Bandiao]] Dynasty took the northern Blood Mountains which were previously Ladaruo lands. The ethnic groups are mostly [[Ethnicity#Teman|Teman]] and [[Ethnicity#Batur|Batur]]. They are distrusting toward [[Incidu]] and [[Yeves]], neutral toward [[Apszhes]], friendly with [[Yinchu]], and tense with Bandiao. They mainly export gold, bronze, timber, and horses. [[Ilborn#Goldflaked|Goldflaked]] folk are rare here.

===Military and Art===
Ladaruo military forces are known for their armoured cavalry, and focus on mobile warfare, keeping their position shifting and adopting other similar strategies from Batur. Common architectural features include curved eaves, watchtowers, and freestanding fortresses, and common artforms include plays, festivals, and weaving.
