-Unlike Asdoh, which mostly used paper [[debtnotes]], Barud established its imperial silver and gold coins. Barud's golen and emperors paid great attention to the distribution of their coins and made it mandatory to pay road fees using them, thus creating additional demand for them.

 Barud was founded by the [[Gordoh family]], who were the founders of the secessionist [[Gordohse]], a settlement that was a self-proclaimed city state, but was not recognized as such by [[State of Asdoh|Asdoh's]] capital [[Estonoh]]. At some point in the 1880s [[FR]], the Gordohs and their supporters abandoned the city and traveled east. They then settled on the western bank of Quoon River. The settlement was named [[Barudse]], "the place of the common folk".
-Over the course of the next several decades, Barudse was developed into a bustling city and a new city, Korstonoh, was founded on the eastern bank of Quoon West Fork.
+Over the course of the next several decades, Barudse was developed into a bustling city and a new city, Korstonoh, was founded on the eastern bank of Quoon West Fork, known locally as Qvonl.
 Although the early history of Barud is scant, it is clear that the peoples that comprised the first settlement were not only the original secessionists and their families, but also the Maad people who lived to the east of the Moleeq desert, as well as the Kon people, who were farmers that settled on the western banks of the Quoon river. Most Mioh tribes who lived in and around the desert have migrated to Barud, mostly to its second major city of Korstonoh.

 The Maad people in the southeast were a mild threat and were eventually partially defeated and partially integrated into Barud, while Messrōn Baas became a constant source of raids, while remaining largely out of reach of Barud's forces. A number of campaigns in the very beginning of the second revolution culminated in the battle at Gwonoh, which saw the defeat of Barud's army.

In spite of aggressive rhetoric, Barud was unable to expand beyond its original territorial claims. After a long series of unsuccessful campaigns against Asdoh and its own immediate neighbors, Barud fell into a prolonged phase of decline. It is believed that Barud's failure strongly informed [[Yammoe|Yammoe's]] clandestine expansionist strategy.
