Ellora

Ellora, officially the Noble Free State of Ellora, (: એલોરા ધાર્મિક મુક્ત રાજ્ય, Ēlurā Dhārmika Mukta Rājya; : Aadlike Frijesteat fan Elere), is an island nation and of Tiperyn located off the coast of southern Kesh.

=Etymology= Ellora is a diminished form of the term एलापुर Elapura, meaning "place of temples", referring to the numerous temples and temple complexes located across the country. The islands were also previously known as Basavaraja and Netrani by local peoples.

Tipslan explorers from Artemia reached the region in the sixteenth century and indicated the islands on early maps as Stilstrânsee or "calm lagoon". Later Tipslan arrivals introduced Eilannen fan Vaanekar to maps and common usage in the seventeenth century, presumably after the capital of the local Silahara kingdom, Vanagar. =History= Pleistocene sediments found along the coastal areas around Kandivali in northern Ellora suggest that the Vaanekar Islands have been inhabited by modern since the late  around 3700 BCE.

Colonial era
Artemian explorers from Tiperyn first reached the southern coast of Kesh in 1532 under the command of Pieter Feddes van Harlingen. His expedition anchored in Nivarapani lagoon to resupply marking the first arrival of Artemians in modern Ellora. During his stay, Van Harlingen laid claimed to the surrounding islands, named them, and made note of their strategic potential as a future port and base for Tiperish interests in the region. At this time the islands were ruled by the local Silahara chiefdom under the dominion of the Kingdom of Yadava, a tributary of the then powerful Rashtrakuta Empire. Merchants from Tiperyn secured trading concessions from the Yadavas in 1537 and quickly established themselves as powerful agents in local affairs. Their closed quarter in the Yadavan port city of Vidhana was described as "a lavish beehive" of industry and commerce and was home to the first Tiperish Apostolic church in southern Kesh. Poor working conditions for native workers, missionary activities, and resentment towards Tiperish dominance erupted into riots in 1546. Dozens of Artemians were killed in the violence and several warehouses and ships were destroyed - amounting to thousands in monetary damages and bankruptcy for many of the affected merchants. Subsequent negotiations were unsuccessful and Tiperish ships began to indiscriminately attack and capture Yadavan vessels and bombarded the capital.
