Darvaz (region)
Darvaz ( fa, درواز, Romanized: ''Darvāz'' ), alternatively Darwaz, Darvoz, or Darwoz, was an independent Pamiri principality until 1878, ruled by a Mir and its capital was at Qal'ai Khumb. The principality controlled territory on the left and right banks of the Oxus River. The major towns were Qal'ai Khumb and Kham. History Traditionally it was able to maintain its independence against its more powerful neighbors. At the beginning of the 16th century, the region was caught up in the conflict between the Timurids and the Uzbeks.

Information regarding the length of his reign was disputed. Barthold writes that in 1638 the Uzbeks conquered Darvaz and executed the ruler, his brother Shah Gharib.
