Under the Catholic Kosali nobles, the feudal system proliferated, and monasteries and bishoprics were important bases for maintaining the rule.

The Kosali were caphirianized Southern Sarpedonians and were to keep the “Caphiravian order” against the hordes of Ladri, Rati, Losa and Rastri. | ||
In the year 1175, Sebastián received a summons that would rekindle the flames of his political destiny. The Republic, recognizing his potential and understanding the gravity of the situation in the Pelaxian valley, tasked Sebastián with the "Pacification of Cognata." The Kazofort Rebellion, an epochal struggle for independence from Caphirian dominion, was spearheaded by a fiercely determined leader named Hernán de Kazofort. Hailing from a lineage of Kosali families, Hernán was a man of towering stature and indomitable will. | |||
The seeds of rebellion were sown in the Pelaxian valley as a palpable discontent simmered among the indigenous warlords and noble families. Tensions came to a head when Hernán Kazofort, with his fiery oratory and impassioned rallying cries, galvanized the warlords, known as "Las Familias del Valle" or "The Valley Families," to unite under a common banner. The primary grievance of The Valley Families was the burden of incessant tributes demanded by Venceia, the imperial capital, and the relentless conscription of their sons into the Caphirian legions. Kazofort’s eloquence resonated deeply with the warlords, who had long harbored resentment toward their Caphirian overlords. | |||
In a pivotal moment, during a clandestine council at the Kazofort Estate, the lord of the castle brandishing a tattered standard bearing the emblem of a free Pelaxia, declared the cessation of tribute payments to Venceia and the refusal to send their sons to fight in distant wars for the Caphirian Empire. His call to arms ignited a fervor among The Valley Families, and they rallied behind their newfound leader. | |||
Pasillas, arrived in the Pelaxian valley with a modest retinue of loyal soldiers. His initial attempts to establish a foothold were met with fierce resistance from the local lords, notably the formidable Kazofort family. | |||
As the rebellion gained momentum, Caphiria responded with ruthless determination, dispatching legions under the command of Pasillas to quell the insurrection. What ensued was a series of skirmishes and battles across the Pelaxian valley, each marked by Hernán de Kazofort’s astute military leadership and the unwavering resolve of the Valley Families. | |||
But in 953, at the climactic Battle of Torrent's End, Hernán de Kazofort met his fate in the heat of combat, valiantly leading his troops against overwhelming Caphirian forces. His sacrifice, however, would not be in vain. His legacy lived on in the hearts of the Valley Families, who continued to wage a relentless struggle for their freedom. | |||
Ultimately, the Kazofort Rebellion exacted a heavy toll onThe Valley Families were specially decimated by Pasillas. Although the end of the rebellion meant the ascendancy of a new Caphiravian despote ruling the valley with autonomy, the rebellion's indomitable spirit would serve as an enduring symbol of Pelaxian resilience in the face of external domination. The legacy of Hernán and the Valley Families would echo through the annals of Pelaxian history, serving as a poignant reminder of the enduring quest for liberty and self-determination. | |||
After years of relentless campaigning and painstaking negotiations, Pasillas succeeded in restoring order to the tumultuous region of Cognata. His crowning achievement was the "Edict of Agrila," issued in 1180, which formally designated him as the Despote of Cognata and moved his royal seat to Albalitor. This historic decree signaled a turning point in the history of both Caphiria and Pelaxia, solidifying Pasillas's legacy as a statesman and military strategist of unparalleled repute. The Edict of Agrila effectively assigned the western part of modern Pelaxia to the House of Castrillón, ruled by Sebastián Pasillas, Consul of Cognatia, and the eastern part to the eastern Agrilan Duke of Agrila. During the 12th century the counts of Santialche, vassals of Adolfo Duke of Agrila, founded many cities, the most important being Alimoche in 1120, Fatides in 1157, and Barcegas in 1191. The Santialche dynasty ended with the death of Balbino in 1218, and their cities subsequently thus became independent, while the dukes of Kazofort competed with the Albalitorian Warden house of Castrillón over control of the rural regions of the former Santialche territory. | |||
Apart from the recognition he must feel towards him, The Republic probably also saw in the appointment of Pasillas, heir to the Castrillóns but also attached to the Pelaxian valley, a factor of stability which could rid the imperial administration of the management of a territory with endemic troubles. | |||

Laín II instituted a strict rule in his homelands and raised the taxes tremendously to finance wars and further territorial acquisitions. As king, he finally had also become the direct liege lord of the Comunidades Libres, which thus saw their previous independence curtailed. On the April 16, 1291 Laín bought all the rights over the town of Lucrecia and the abbey estates in Bajofort from Abbey. The Comunidades saw their trade route over Lake Lucrecia cut off and feared losing their independence. When Laín died on July 15, 1291 the Comunidades prepared to defend themselves. On August 1, 1291 a League was made between the Comunidades Libres for mutual defense against a common enemy. | Laín II instituted a strict rule in his homelands and raised the taxes tremendously to finance wars and further territorial acquisitions.
