The centuries of Caphiric hegemony, although greatly impactful to the history of Vallos and Rumahoki, was not considered a colonial era on account of the largely autonomous nature of the eleven vassal states. Instead, the earliest colonies came from the arrival of the [[Isurians|Isurian]] captain [[Mauricio Delepas]] under the patronage of the King of Pelaxia. The nascent kingdom, itself a vassal state of Caphiria, had already established a viceroyalty in what is now [[Puertego]] in the 1480s, but the real prize was mainland Vallos and Delepas would embark on his first expedition to mainland Vallos in 1497. Upon landing on mainland Vallos, the area now known as the coast of [[Bahia (Rumahoki)|Bahia]], Delepas would establish the [[Viceroyalty of Los Rumas]] in the name of King Jeronimo I. It was through the viceroyalty that Vallos would be introduced to the episcopal hierarchy of the [[Catholic Church]] for the first time shortly after the arrival of Delepas, with the establishment of the [[Archidiocese of Los Rumas|Diocese of Los Rumas]] in 1498.
 
The new viceroyalty had expanded greatly throughout the 16th and 17th Centuries, with expansion greatly increasing after the [[Great Schism of 1615]] when Pelaxia became independent. The schism led to the arrival of Latin Catholic refugees who have fled Caphiria once the Imperium began to persecute Catholics who did not join the [[Caphiric Catholic Church|Imperial Catholic Church]]. The most high-profile of these refugees was the Isurian [[Knights of Saint James]] whose banner would go on to become a popular military symbol for the viceroyalty. The viceroyalty would also serve as a strategic outpost for protecting Pelaxian interests in the [[Southern Route]] and battles between Pelaxia and [[Burgundie]] and [[Kiravia]] became relatively frequent. However, despite the prestige and autonomy the viceroyalty had held due to its wealth and distance from [[Albalitor]], the rise of the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] during this time would force the viceroyalty to take a backseat, with the Pelaxian Crown seemingly snubbing them throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries.
 
The Commonwealth would eventually collapse in the latter years of the 18th Century, and the Pelaxian monarchy would collapse for the first time just a few years later. The collapse of the monarchy would play a huge role in the change in status for the viceroyalty, which by then had already established a new national identity in retaliation to the perceived neglect and snubbing that the Pelaxian Crown had given them. Such a change in status would ensure that the viceroyalty would be given precedence and even preference when the monarchy was restored in 1814 with the aid of the viceregal government which had already overthrown republican rule in 1806. During the remaining years of the Pelaxian monarchy, the Pelaxian monarchs would promise that plans were being drafted that would turn the viceroyalty into an independent nation under a {{wp|real union}} with the Pelaxian Crown. However, new evidence that have emerged in 2014 would reveal that although there were plans being drafted that would change the status of the viceroyalty, these plans called for the integration of the viceroyalty into Pelaxia proper rather than granting independence for the viceroyalty.
