One of the most renowned empires of the subcontinent - The Talpur Dynasty. Originating in Balochistan after Mir Fateh Ali Khan defeated the Kalhoras in 1783 due to the growing tension between the two groups. In the early years, the dynasty was referred to as the Chauyari, or "rule of four friends," as it was under the rule of four brothers who shared power. At the time, Sindh was sectioned into several districts, with each brother being assigned his share.
