To further exacerbate the social and cultural troubles that were already plaguing the islands was the arrival of migrants from the south. Although they had come to the islands not as refugees but rather people looking for a new life outside of their homeland, the emergence of yet another foreign group on the islands made the indigenous Malentine tribes feel more and more isolated. These newcomers were the [[Pan-Qabóri civilization|Qabóri]] people, who hail from the [[Qabóri Woqalate]], which was at the time of the first arrival of the Qabóri people onto the islands on its way towards becoming southern Crona's great indigenous civilization in opposition to the growing northern power of Varshan. The apprehensive reaction the indigenous tribes had towards the newcomers were made worse when they felt that the Qabóri were being treated better by the North Songun elites of the city-states. Indeed, the nascent Qabóri population of the islands had ideas of their own, that being that the islands should be greatly centralized under the rule of a powerful monarch known as a Woqali, the Qabóri term used to refer to monarchs, specifically a lesser Woqali under the suzerainty of the Qabóri Woqalate. The Qabóri had hypothesized that this would ensure that the islands would serve as a {{wp|buffer state}} against the growing threat of Varshan. This stood in direct opposition to what the North Songun elites had wanted, which was to reclaim the former North Songunese heartlands by directly confronting the Varshani forces. It is from this rivalry between the recently-arrived Qabóri and the North Songunese that the two main political factions amongst the Cronan Malentine elites would emerge, those being the Qabóri [[Malentine Woqalists|Woqalists]] and the North Songunese [[Malentine Qhapaqists|Qhapaqists]]. | |||
