The Xosghiri Chiefdom was a polity in southwestern Alkare bordering Vukodlak to the south under the chief (Bazni) Atkiz Korgaa. It was a rather isolated tribal chiefdom by the Xosghiri people and was dissolved and annexed by Vukodlak following the Young Revolution.
History
Prehistory
For the longest time, the Xosghiri people have been a nomadic group roaming in the wildlands of southern Alkare organized under their Bazni. Not much is known about their history besides what is known from oral stories. However, it can be said that they were good horsemen and raided various villages in the area and fought commonly against other aggressive nomadic tribes.
In oral tradition the Xosghiri claim to have stood their ground against any subjugation attempts with clever tricks and deceptions. One of such events is described in oral tradition as follows:
It was under Bazni Omat Korgaa that we encountered the village of Immi and were defeated by their strong men. It was then when the Bazni was told by the chief of Immi, that they must pay him a certain tribute if he wants the Xosghiri people to be spared, which included cattle. The tribute was partially paid but as an act of defiance, the Bazni ordered to carefully include a dead cow wrapped in cloth which has died to a nasty disease and has started to rot. This was done, and when the corpse arrived in Immi, within just a few days a disease infected and killed many inhabitants of Immi because they were not protected from it by the gods and didn't know how to handle it. This weakened them greatly and allowed us to burn down Immi together with its inhabitants while they were defenseless.
