History
Origins
Proto-Vaktrian city-states existed along the Maplas and Kher rivers and the Andaluzian coast for more than a millenia before the Kingdom of Vaktria. They were generally all patriarchical autocracies ruled by a single family. The Chernastid dynasty ruled over the city-state of Dastivus (Vaktrian: Ḍaštivaıs; Ϯⲁϣⲧⳅⲯⲁⲓⲋ) since c. 900 BCE. The ruler Miskarnam began a military campaign in 875 BCE to conquer neighboring cities. By the beginning of the 8th century BCE, he had conqured all of the Vaktrian speaking cities along the Maplas and southward. He declared himself Ultav or king of Vaktria with Dastivus as the capital. The previous rulers of the conquered cities generally remained in power as Ultavnin (meaning little ruler).
