===Insuo Loa Colonization===

[[File:Kraso Settlement.jpeg|thumb|Depiction of a Loa settlement in what would be called Bahía Creciente.]]

In the 1200s, the Krasoa Islands witnessed a transformative period as the Loa people, stemming from the Isi Loa, underwent a settlement and cultural evolution. The Loa, have already developed their seafaring capabilities and hierarchical chiefdom structure, established themselves as skilled hunters and gatherers with an acute understanding of the open seas. The Isi Loa, originating around 1100 CE, played a crucial role in this process. This indigenous population, emerging from a bottleneck in the 800s BCE.The Loa, a ethnically distinct community, emerged alongside the development of [[Insuo Loa]].

As the Loa people started exploring the open seas eastward towards the Kindred Sea, their settlement of the Krasoa Islands unfolded organically, and settled the diverse archipelago during the 1200s. This period marked a critical juncture in the islands' history as the Loa communities established themselves across the entirety of the isles.

The settlement process was not merely a physical occupation but also a cultural integration, as the Loa infused their distinct way of life into a more nomadic colonization of the areas and its resources.

The Loa's arrival and settlement in the 1200s laid the foundation for the rich cultural tapestry that would unfold in the centuries to come, shaping the identity and history of the Krasoa Islands. The amalgamation of Austronesian roots, chiefdom traditions, and seafaring prowess defined this period of vibrant cultural establishment.The distinguished and revered high chief of the tribes of the Krasoa Islands, known for his profound impact and historical significance, bears the esteemed title of [[Kahu'i Marakatu Loa]], which translates to the "Supreme Celestial Guardian of the Loa." This name reflects not only his paramount role as a leader among the Loa people but also underscores the celestial and spiritual dimensions attributed to his leadership. The title encompasses the honor, authority, and spiritual guidance associated with the most revered chief in the history of the Krasoa Islands.

===War of the Tides===

The [[War of the Tides]], spanning from 1330 to 1350, stands as a significant chapter in the history of the Kindred Sea. This conflict primarily revolved around the strategic control of the waterways governing access to and from the sea. The principal instigator, the Duchy of Albalitor, sought to secure vital maritime routes in service of the Despote of Cognata, seated in Albalitor. The despotate aimed to attain greater autonomy in managing trade, diminishing reliance on the Caphiravian Republic.

The focus of the conflict lay in the geopolitical maneuvering to control key ports and sea routes. The [[Duchy of Albalitor]], under the auspices of the [[Despote of Cognata]], perceived dominance over these maritime arteries as essential for economic self-sufficiency. The [[Loa Confederation]], who maintained ties of vassalage with the archipelago through the chiefdom system, with the Krasoa Islands , resisted external attempts to control the vital waterways.Unified under the leadership of their esteemed high chief, Kahu'i Marakatu Loa, the Loa Confederation fought fiercely to safeguard what was deemed “ancestral lands” and maintain autonomy against external encroachment.

Noteworthy engagements, such as the [[Battle of Bahía Creciente]] in 1335 and the [[Siege of Marisport]] in 1342, marked the tactically intricate nature of the war. These military endeavors were characterized by maneuvers to secure or disrupt maritime access points. The overarching objective was the establishment of control over ports and channels facilitating trade within the Kindred Sea. The War of Tides concluded in 1350 with a negotiated peace treaty. While the Despote of Cognata retained certain territorial claims as the newly found “Comarca de la Crasoa” as an enclave further enforcing the presence of the Pelaxian and Caphiravian culture in the Kindred Sea.
