===Pre-Varshani history===

Little is known about the people and history of the area of modern Chakailan other than it was largely under the influence of the ~~more numerous and prosperous~~ [[~~Telonaticolan~~]] ~~people, and most maps up until the Varshani integration of the territory include it as part of Telonaticolan~~. Genetic testing ~~and scholarship have shown~~ that its ~~original tribal~~ inhabitants ~~were distantly related to~~ the ~~"mainline"~~ population of Telonaticolani ~~people and the area was likely settled by proto-Telonaticolanis during antiquity~~. Much of the history of the region is known by reputation. Both Telonaticolani and Varshani histories make note of the ruggedness of these mountain nomad tribes, with individuals from the area making excellent scouts and guides through the central mountain ranges of [[Crona]]. Efforts by the Telonaticolani to pacify and more directly incorporate the region failed in both the 1820s and 1840s, as they were repulsed by means of large and well set ambushes and rudimentary but well located static defenses. The relative separation from [[Varshan]] but few passes that existed made it a popular area for slaves to flee from Varshani control, and the accounts of escaped slaves from the period indicate the tribes were receptive to these people and even welcomed some into their tribes. Several Varshani raiding and slave hunting parties entered the region throughout its history, with most being repulsed. As early as 1860, Occidental visitors who traveled to the remote area that would become Chakailan noticed many non-indigienous among them and even one Occidental escaped slave having been incorporated into the local peoples, leading modern scholars to suspect that the unique cultural interchange that formed the modern Chakailani people began well before the Varshani occupation.

Little is known about the people and history of the area of modern Chakailan other than it was largely under the influence, but was not directly part of, the [[North Songun civilization]]. Genetic testing suggests that its native inhabitants are largely an admixture of the peoples of pre-Anzo population of eastern Varshan with some Telonaticolani ethnic heritage.

===Annexation into Varshan===

Slaves began exiting Varshan through Chakailan in increased numbers in the late 1800s spurned on by increasing disloyalty to Anzo from [[Telonaticolan]], whose people began to openly welcome escaped slaves and began to settle them throughout the country. In [[1891]], Varshan invaded Telonaticolan, burned its capital, enslaved most of its army and political leadership, and annexed the teritory of Chakailan and other territories in western Telonaticolan. The tribes of the Chakailan area fought bravely and inflicted significant casualties but were defeated by overwhelming Varshani force. Many of the men and warriors of the tribes were sent into slavery, leaving behind the women and children. Many of the Telonaticolani slaves who were too weak or sick to continue on were left behind by Varshani forces in the care of the Chakailan-area tribes.
