Sokala: Difference between revisions

After Meri LauluLauluan Coalitions's defeat, the archipelago became a Morstaybishlian colony. This lead to the proliferation of Staynish culture and language. During this time, Meri Laulu became a hotspot for merchants from Yasteria, Concord, and Gondwana to exchange and trade goods with Morst traders however Meri Laulu's resources were heavily exploited by Morst merchants and the government leading to 50% of wildlife to be extinct only after 300 years of occupation.

In the early months of 1920, [[The Sokalan Rebels]], lead by [[Andrew Sokala]], revolted and attacked the Morst town of [[Gamely]]. News of the rebel attack spread across the Meri Laulu archipelago and inspired other Lauluans to rebel against the Morst Empire. This would lead to a nation-wide rebellion, formally called [[the Sokalan Rebellion]], that would lead to their eventual independence in 1926.

From what can be observed, the early settlers were primarily a hunter-gatherer society. They would tend to live within groups of 5-7 people with most being men. In the 2nd millennium BCE, several Islander tribes begun farming root plants and fruits. This development rapidly pushed most Islanders to live in flat and exposed areas leading to frequent conflicts between Islander tribes. Sharpened bones were used as weapons and tools during what would be called the Age of Buto. In the late 2nd millennium BCE, Islanders regressed back to hunter-gathering due to conflicts leading to most tribes losing most of their men. This event would be called the Age of Despair. Islanders, however, discovered fishing and using fire as a weapon. Preserved charred remains of a man were found in a cave in Hasting's tallest mountain, Jouthunburg. It is speculated that around the early 1st millennium BCE, settlers started forming tribes with the three biggest tribes forming [[Meri Laulu]], along with the [[Empire of Diyu]], and the [[Kingdom of Durdneel]].
