The Khanate Civil War
Truthfully, the Khanate was falling apart for decades but with the destruction of Nebulon's Tower, the Khan sought to fill her coffers through picking fights in the Eastern lands, butting heads with her steppe cousins.
The skirmishes lead to battles and the battle to wars and the wars to the gates of Samarkand.

The Jalpiqul, lead by the hero Rasul, sided with the steppe orcs, while the Cingibi remained loyal, having greatly benefited from the current administration.
At the Battle of the Gate, Rasul was slain but the clans took the barbican and overran the city. Rasul would later become an elvish national hero, worshipped by a new brand of elves, the Batiir,or those who've sworn eternal holy war on their oppressors.

The Rape of Samarkand wasn't the end of the war. It didn’t stop until both sides had torn the other to pieces, bathing the land in blood and bones.
The end came by human iron as a member of the Court of Heaven, Faradûn, united the human population and overthrew the broken orc rulers and established himself the new Khan of Samarkand.

Unable to fight back, the orcs retreated to the hill where the remains of Lazar's towers were: the area largely abandoned even decades after the sorcerer's death.
Faradûn Khan was as benevolent as a priest king could be, passing legislation that gave freed elves free movement within the city and finishing the Eastern wall.
He overthrew the Najam of the Court of Heaven but made it the title of the high priest of Savash’kisi.
He took residence in the old Khan's palace and turned the Fire Temple into a Sun Temple for the glory of his deity.
Tensions began to rise between gnome, elf, and human as the Slave District, unable to climb further up the sides of Mount Zafer, turned down, surrounding the Court of Heaven and the sacred site of the Sky Cult with poor squalor.
After several crack downs, the Jalpiqul began to build into the mountain, carving out cave homes in the living rock.
The death of Faradûn marked the beginning of the Golden Age of Samarkand.
