Banner of the clan

The Uelamanpu'ue Clan is a clan of minor Loa nobility that used to rule along the Satana Coast in an area of traditional Loa settlement. From the years 1790-1875, the Uelamanpu'ue ruled as vassal kings to the Loa Empire. When the Takatta Loa Civil War broke out, the clan experienced significant uprisings and revolts by their population, resulting in large scale migration outside of Takatta Loa. Since then, the clan has managed to establish significant connections among the Loa Diaspora and among diaspora centered businesses, specializing in exportation of Loa products to various communities overseas. The clan also manages to maintain traditional Loa religious beliefs, rejecting the current influence of Natano in favour of their clan spirit, which has caused significant contentions between the clan and the Loa government.

There are no members of the clan remaining in Takatta Loa, all of them having fled to Sudmoll, Sarolasta and Daxian Stenza during the years immediately following the Takatta Loa Civil War in 1875. There are approximately 6,983 members of the clan, of which 2,146 live in Sudmoll, 2,941 live in Stenza along with 5,273 retainers and 1,896 live in Sarolasta.

History

Exile

Lady Uesumano, First Katu of the Uelamanpu'ue in exile

The Uelamanpu'ue left the Satana Coast entirely, eventually coming to stay in Usomo. From there, they tapped into the trade networks that the dynasty had established, seeking refuge in Sarolasta. However, the Katu had also heard from the Burgoignesc merchants on the island that there was a rush to Sudmoll given the collapsing Alshari colonies. As such, the two remaining triplets, Uesumano and Laitopoa traveled to Burgundie and Sudmoll, and Kiravia and Sarolasta respectively. They had both found the two colonies to be quite agreeable, and seeking to establish new Occidental ties as well as maintaining existing Kiravian and Cronan ties, decided to split the clan into the Topoa and Sumano branches, in Sarolasta and Sudmoll respectively. In addition, Uesumano's second eldest son was sent to Daxia to petition the Daxian state for the construction of a small cotton plantation in what is now modern day Stenza to be staffed entirely by Huelaban retainers and the Uelamanpu'ue lesser nobles. This was approved, and thus the clan was extended to Stenza. Approximately 900 members, including Uesumano, settled in Sudmoll, 1,500 in Stenza along with 3,000 retainers and 800 in Sarolasta.
