Although inhabited since the Paleolithic Era, what is now Porlos was molded by a mix of [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] and [[Tierrador|Qabór-Tierric]] civilization, due to the colonization from both empires. It began with the conquering of the Betlands region, which at the time would be referred to as the [[Soqweux]], named after the [[Soqweux people]], by [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Imperial Qabór]]. There, for close to 700 years, the Qabóri settlers established several colonies and ports, which were typically limited to just coastal settlements and trading posts, as the areas being as far as they were from the Qabóri proper area were heavily neglected by the central government of the Woqalate. In 1351, modern-day Porlos and the surrounding areas were granted independence as the [[Woqalate of Soqweux]]. Relations between Qabór and the Soqweux would remain tightly-knit, as most economic, social and political influences would still be brought upon from the Woqalate. Eventually, following [[Aster's expedition]] and the colonization of present-day [[Asteria]] by [[Faneria]], settlers from Cartadania arrived and established several colonies and posts of their own, starting in the 16th century as the West Bay Colony. In the 19th century, Cognatian settlers slowly and hesitantly began to establish themselves in the interior. The Cartadanian colony that became Porlos did not have its present borders until the early 20th century due to resistance by native groups and Tierrador. The Cartadanian settlements were very unstable, due to outsider influence from various indigenous nations led by Tierrador, and in 1938, following a brutal year-long conflict, Porlos was granted its independence from Cartadania. Eventually, the Porlosi Woqalate would be restored, as it stands today. | Although inhabited since the Paleolithic Era, what is now Porlos was molded by a mix of [[Cartadania|Cartadanian]] and [[Tierrador|Qabór-Tierric]] civilization, due to the colonization from both empires.
