The Aría Káámarakatu (Estates of the Celestial Masters), or Loa Empire as its commonly called in non-Loa sources, was a Kiravian tribute state and proxy colony that existed from 1701-1875 CE in Vallos and the nearby . It had decent autonomy for a colonial state, able to wage wars and conduct minor trade and diplomacy so long as it managed to deliver adequate tribute to Kiravia in the form of sugar and exotic spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and mace. For much of its history, it maintained little diplomatic relations with non-Coscivian nations except to wage war or smuggle goods, such as Burgundie just before and during the Bourgondii-Loa Wars. Despite this relative self-imposed isolation, it managed to expand dramatically to encompass the entirety of Southern Vallos and the nearby Kindreds Islands and hold onto most of these territories from the peak of its size in 1770 until its collapse in 1875, with certain exceptions such as the loss of its holdings in Puertego and other Kindreds region.

Founded by the Katu Raiakono in 1550 CE after she managed to overthrow the existing Aliali Kingdom and its allies, the Kingdom of the Loa was established on the grounds of being a merchant state as Raiakono was of the merchant class in comparison to the royal ali'i class that ruled the Loa Islands at the time. The term Katu at this time referred to somebody who owned tenured land, as it was thought that the gods gave all land to the ali'i to rule and rent out. Burg, I'll do more tomorrow, I'm wiped.
