Dhalizun Host
Leader:
HQ:
For nearly a millennium the fertile lands in the heart of this vast continent were ruled by the Holy az-Zaidi Dynasty, descendants of the Prophet-King. In the nearly thousand years since the first stone of Viura was laid, the Ordallians have swept across the continent, pacifying Kharkhoria, Ghwarzia, Altenia, Rozarria, and, most recently, Zelamonia. Fueled by religious fervor and guided by prophesy, the mighty Hosts of Ordallia continuously expand her frontiers, feeding more lives and more steel into the greatest war machine seen since the Archadian Hegemony. The ever-hungry Ordallia now, after nearly half a century of war, turns its gaze upon annexing Zeltennia in the west and the Slaver Emirates in the east.
And while the Empire of Ordallia and its multitude of hosts is a deadly curved sword, then the Dhalizun is the cutting edge. While Ivalice's military is divided haphazardly into numerous military orders, the professional Dhalizun Host is centralized under a single command structure that owes its loyalty to the Sharaf al-Dhalin, Devanne V the August, rather than beingsubordinated to competing lordlings. It was the Dhalizun that broke the Ivalician siege of Viura and, if the Colonel-General has anything to say about it, it will be the Dhalizun that razes Lesalia.

For a counterpoint to the Nanten, we can discuss the Dhalizun Host and their motives, and bounce ideas between the different factions. For years they have been laying waste to Zeltennia, after cunningly retaking Zelamonia and rolling through Sal Ghidos. They have secured an alliance with Romanda and believe an allied push into Ivalice can be successful. If they can take Zeltennia, Lesalia is thrown into immediate danger. Possible NPC's include:
- Suad ibn Daud Pasha, Miralai-i-Azam (Aghasi al-Dhalizun)
- Absi Najam Pasha, Balukasi al-Ghizkhazun
- Abu Mustafa Pasha, Pasha-i-Azam
- Maybe others
