Sadilam

Sadilam was a civilization in northern Varasan during the Reign of Lamps, which the Gesnotes originated from; it was one of the main centers of Varasanian culture alongside the Kashsians of Saria. Its cities appeared as early as the late 4th millennium BCE, and in the 12th century BCE it was conquered by the Pemantian empire of Isnaria as part of the Togrian Wars against the Magal. Pemantian military governors and local rulers adopting their culture later became the Sadurs by the time of the fall of Isnaria in the 9th century BCE.

The name 'Sadilam' has been suggested to be linked to Rurynote ceṭi 'light, splendor'; popularly cati 'destroy' or 'treachery' (because of associations of the Gesnote migration with a divinely sanctioned exile); and Damanic satīla 'wind'.
