The Islands are relatively late additions to [[Urcea]], with their incorporation beginning with the inheritance of [[Halfway]] by [[House de Weluta]] in 1474, although various city states on [[Crotona]] had been subject to client-patron relationships with [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] at various times since [[1098]]. The process of incorporating them was complete in the late 1600s, at which time all of the islands were added to the [[Kingdom of Crotona]]. Prior to Urcean involvement on the Islands, each island had very different histories. The feuding polities of [[Crotona]] and [[Tromarine]] were always considered part of the sphere of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] while remaining distinctly outside of it. After the fall of [[Great Levantia]], these islands were divided between many small states and city-states, gradually coalescing into {{wp|merchant republics}} in competition to the Odoneru trade dominance of the [[Creagmer republics]] by the late 11th century. Meanwhile, [[Halfway]] was the subject of major geopolitical manuevering in [[Sarpedon]] for much of the Medieval period. Its contemporary [[Occidental]] history largely beginning with the [[First Crusade]], when it was taken from local Audonian rulers loosely affiliated with the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. | |||
===Relationship with Caphiria=== | |||
Between [[1782]] and [[1943]], [[Caphiria]] claimed all of the islands as "natural parts of Caphiria as insular regions of [[Sarpedon]]". Their claim was abandoned as part of the [[Treaty of Kartika]]. Accordingly, a Caphirian sponsored insurgent organization known as the "''Provisional Government of the Province of Outer Urlazio''" was active in the islands during the [[Second Great War]]. Though the organization never had wide support, it carried out various missions of espionage and sabotage on behalf of the Caphirian government. Its members largely abandoned the islands following the end of the war, though some remained and were subject to a long-running series of investigations which lead to a large wave of arrests in the 1960s. | |||

The Islands have a decidedly more [[Sarpedon]]ic cultural background both due to their history as well as the social traditions and mores that make the region unique. | The Islands have a decidedly more [[Sarpedon]]ic cultural background both due to their history as well as the social traditions and mores that make the region unique. | ||
