== Location == In the 1560's Fatagar operated by alternating between two Centres: Dembiya and Oda Nabi. Fatagar separated Ifat from Shewa and was south of the kingdom of Lasta bounded by the region of Endagabatan in the north west. It is also described as having been located in eastern Ethiopia, where several kingdoms, such as Ifat, Mora, Dawaro, Hadiya and Bale, also existed. The area is now part of modern Shewa southeast of Addis Ababa. right|thumb|270x270px|Map of medieval Ethiopian provinces, with Fetegar between Ifat and Shewa, and west of Wej, northeast of Hadiya, and north of Dawaro
