History
Joghur is the successor of Krangurha-Joghur State (Krangurhasëheli nogha Joghur), a warlord state founded in the 19th century by Zibionian immigrants hailing from the Presesirami. At its height, it had several tens of thousands of inhabitants. The economy was based on trade with Sornomalian outposts in Sornoni Syrilgen. Occassionaly, the Krangurha-Joghur state waged war on neighboring warlord states such as the Principate of Migheirte and the independent towns of Aigharca, Cahura and Miasan.

In 2674, Krangurha, the northern part of the Krangurha-Joghur State, collapsed when a mercenary army of the duke of Aitmefa of Zibion besieged the Krangurha-Kolocha fortress and eventually captured both the town and the fortress. Krangurha became a de facto part of the newly established Zibionian kingdom after 2700. The outlaw town of Figorasset was sacked by Miasan on three occassions and eventually abandoned.

In the late 28th century, Figorassat was inhabited once again, this time by settlers from Kranghura.

In the 29th century Joghur became a territory of Zibion after the consolidation of the Zibionian southern border. Several Shyrjan settlers were purged from Joghur and two military fortresses were built. Eventually, after the trade with Sornomali collapsed, Joghur population numbers dwindled and fell below 20,000. In a final effort to revive the state, mines were opened near Joghurfielde, supplying the entire western frontier of Zibion with coal. In the last few decades, Joghur and especially Figorasset experienced an economic boom.
