Mayajawān

Mayajawān was an early Moroyan state centered on the Isle of Thāl. The state was established around late 7th century 4A and, like most of the Moroyan states of that period, began as an elective monarchy.

The seat of the Mayajawan King was in the city later known as Burthāl.

Mayajawān was a heavily commerce-oriented state, trading with other states and cities along the coast of the Moroy Peninsula and further inland along the river Ajat.

In contrast to most other Moroyan states, Mayajawān could not benefit from the vast, fertile floodplains along the river Ajat. In stead, in reaped the benefits of the comparatively milder and more consistently humid cliamte of Thāl, and relied on cultivating various grains and pulses, as well as extensive vineyards and date plantations.

Shortly before 13th century 4A, the elective monarchy of Mayajawān was overthrown, and the new, hereditary monarchy is generally treated to be a successor state, called Ghūlgād.
