UNOGONDURI
Unogonduri (Hungodisya): royal dynasty of ancient Komal, named after its legendary founder Unogondur (Hungodis).

Note: The term 'Unogonduri' will be appearing in the article I wrote on the Baklunish Army for the upcoming issue of OJ. Here's the relevant snips...
Then came heroes from the west - equestrian nomads honed by centuries of warfare on the steppes of central Oerik. These warriors trained from an early age in the arts of horsemanship and archery, for which they are famous to this day. - Komali chronicles of the Unogonduri dynasty (1)
Related Footnote (1): At that time Komal was locked in a war with the Sakuri, whose well-trained heavily-armed troops were clearly outclassing the Unogonduri light infantry. Paynim tribes helped the Komali prevail, displacing the Sakuri from the shores of the Ghayar - a land which the Komali there-after dubbed Bakhourabar, “The Land of Heroes.” ‘Bakhour’ is an Old Komali word, meaning hero. It is the root of the name for the Bakhoury Coast, as well as that of the Baklunish themselves.
