The first inhabitants of Ceylonia originated from several places, with the most notable being from Northern Crona and the areas surrounding [[Varshan]]. Many indigenous Cronan tribes began establishing hunter-gatherer settlements across the land, which became the first modern settlements throughout the area. These tribes created the framework for modern civilization in Ceylonia. Between 5,000 and 2,000 BCE, the tribes would transition into agrarian societies, taking heavy influence from an unknown higher power, believed to be associated with the ancient [[Tierrador#Aonaali Woqalate|Aonaali Woqalate]], with the traditionally nomadic settlements becoming permanent. Groups of indigenous Cronans, including parts of the Youkafee, Yapokee, Ausakio, Antakee, and Tanakeó began to develop complex feudal systems, the earliest of which. Under the Aonaali banner, the Yapokee Woqalate was formed, using the namesake from the most prominent indigenous tribe, the Yapokee tribe. The Yapokee inhabited most areas around the Baia dos Cocos, which consisted of the most fertile soil throughout modern soil. The Yapokee cultivated many crops, such as rice, maize, wheat and cotton, and traded goods with several other vassals of the Aonaali Woqalate, mostly including minerals extracted from pockets across the bay. | The first inhabitants of Ceylonia originated from several places, with the most notable being from Northern Crona and the areas surrounding [[Varshan]].

=== Qabóri Conquest === | |||
Following the disappearance of the Aonaali Woqalate, the Yapokee Woqalate was severely weakened, as the sole partner of the early nation had been taken out of the picture, there was not a way for the area to thrive as it used to. The subsequent feud between the [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Qabóri]] and [[Tierrador#Abio Woqalate|Abio]] Woqalates brought a sense of uncertainty throughout the member tribes of Yapokee. After the fall of the Abio Woqalate in 677 AD, the Qabóri Woqalate became increasingly imperialistic, subjugating surrounding lands under their banner. The Yapokee, having been stunted by the Aonaali's fall, proved no match for the much more advanced Qabóri military, as they were coerced into flying the Qabóri banner as a group of ''qoyalets'', or provinces. Despite the initial suppression of Ceylonian indigenous culture, the Qabóri government became more lenient towards the tribes within the area, allowing many unique tribal traditions to occur, under the condition that these tribes pledge allegiance to the Qabóri banner whenever necessary. | Following the disappearance of the Aonaali Woqalate, the Yapokee Woqalate was severely weakened, as the sole partner of the early nation had been taken out of the picture, there was not a way for the area to thrive as it used to.

The newly-formed Woqalate was fully recognized by Qabór following the end of the Yapokee Wars. The country would be semi-integrated into the Qabóri sphere of influence as a vassal state, with less control over the land but with military and economic support. The Yapokee Woqalate consisted of modern-day Ceylonia, southeastern Aracadó and Tawakee. | The newly-formed Woqalate was fully recognized by Qabór following the end of the Yapokee Wars. The country would be semi-integrated into the Qabóri sphere of influence as a vassal state, with less control over the land but with military and economic support. The Yapokee Woqalate consisted of modern-day Ceylonia, parts of southeastern Aracadó and Tawakee, the latter two of which would be considered jointly-administered territory with the neighboring Qabóri Woqalate. The Yapokee Woqalate was unique compared to the other Qabóri vassals, as the country’s leader could easily be removed via unilateral decision from the Qabóri Woqalate, which had actually occurred numerous times throughout the Yapokees first few decades as independent. A prime example of this was in 1445, when, while the Yapokee Wars were still raging on with Qabór switching to the Yapokee side to fight off a coalition of other tribes, the then-Woqala, [[Kapina II]], had attempted to distance the country from Qabór, attempting to give it full autonomy without the need for economic/military support. Close a week after she begun the process, the Qangreč immediately had her removed from the throne, and replaced with a Qabóri puppet royal dynasty, the [[House of Tukiseeta]]. | ||
For most of its existence, the Yapokee Woqalate remained relatively stable and unchanged in territory. After the Yapokee Wars had ended, numerous agreements and treaties had allowed the various tribes of the land to coexist with one another, however there was an intense power dynamic between the Yapokee, who were in power, and the remaining tribes. In 1501, The Yapokee leadership drafted, signed, and ratified the first [[1501 Yapokee Constitution|constitution]] in Ceylonian history, which was basically regarded as a memo on how powerful the Yapokee truly was. One of the articles in said constitution flat-out prevented any of the other tribes from taking power, which unsurprisingly angered the general populace of the country. Despite their anger, there was not much that could be done, as the Yapokee leadership had the much more powerful Qabóri Woqalate on their side, and this made any uprising all but impossible. Towards the end of the 14th century, the Yapokee’s incompetence became a lot more apparent. In 1577, at the discretion of Qabór, the government had made their language, Yapokee, the official language throughout the entire country. Before this, there was no official language, as there were probably fifty different tribal languages spoken in different areas of the country. This move once again enraged the entire populace, who flat out refused to learn Yapokee, as the overly complicated grammatical and vocabulary structure of the language made it extremely difficult to do so. | |||
Some of the tribal leaders, in the northwest region of the country, had gone as far as to unite against the central government. This culminated in the [[Yapokee Civil War]], which lasted surprisingly long, from 1581 to 1589. For the most part, the northwest tribes had defended their lands against the Yapokee fairly well, with practically no borders being changed for the first six years of the war. However, as the Qabóri Woqalate caught wind of the war’s occurrence, they began funneling military support towards the Yapokee Woqalate. As the Yapokee military grew in numbers, so did the Woqalate’s confidence. Before long, in 1588, the Yapokee Army launched a massive campaign against the revolting tribes, in what would become known as the [[Tuwa Tuwa]]. The rebellion held their ground against the Yapokee Army, causing massive losses and drawing out the Tuwa Tuwa for nearly an entire year. This was done not to win, as they had virtually no chance of winning, but to show how unorganized and weak the Yapokee Army truly was, despite the massive numbers. In 1589, the Yapokee Civil War would end with the [[Treaty of Saqauwee]]. While the Yapokee paraded the treaty around as a show of solidarity between the people of Ceylonia, the treaty was heavily skewed towards the Yapokee’s favor, and introduced harsh reforms against the tribes of the northwest. Despite the massive victory for Yapokee, this would be the beginning of the end for the fledgling Woqalate | |||
