While the Sabnak were not unique among the peoples of Cusinaut in developing writing, most linguists and historians agree they are the only people in Cusinaut to have independently developed writing, given that most other Cusinaut language alphabets borrow significantly from the common tradition of [[Varshan]] and the [[North Songun civilization]] that filtered north through the [[Nysdra]]. This unique literary style contributed later to the sense of alienness that Sabnak people felt from their Cusinautic neighbors, an alienation that would eventually result in the establishment of an isolationist society. | While the Sabnak were not unique among the peoples of Cusinaut in developing writing, most linguists and historians agree they are the only people in Cusinaut to have independently developed writing, given that most other Cusinaut language alphabets borrow significantly from the common tradition of [[Varshan]] and the [[North Songun civilization]] that filtered north through the [[Nysdra]].

Although the Sabnak people had always shared a similar culture, the growth of neighboring rivals precipitated the establishment of a confederated government. The rise of the power of the [[Algosh people]] among others in Cusinaut presented military danger to the Sabnak people. According to Sabnak histories, the ruler of the modern city of Tsaile, a man called King Sání, called together the other Sabnak cities and tribes to a major meeting at Tsaile. According to the traditional version, Sání made an impassioned plea for the Sabnak to band together against their enemies, lest they all be destroyed. In a dramatic show, Sání locked the doors and brought in his forty daughters, marrying all of them to the various notables and tribal leaders on the spot, creating the dynastic connections necessary for the establishment of the Sabnak League. Most historians believe this tale is a legend, but Sání was a real historical figure and is believed to have been the first leader of the Sabnak League, formed in around 1420 AD. For the next four centuries, the Sabnak League would bind together the Sabnak people into a loose confederation which entailed common defense and, increasingly, an open internal trade market. | |||
