In 1584 AD, the Imperial Bank of Kintær's Austral Ocean Armada under the command of Levar Trimartolon anchored at Kapenga Island in modern-day [island group/state name TBD], lingering for several weeks to make repairs, replenish supplies, and sample the local flavours. Trimartolon claimed Kapenga for the [[Marble Emperor]] but did nothing to secure this claim before continuing on his journey. Over the next several decades, further Kiravian expeditions were dispatched to the archipelago. Samarius Tulorikvan led an expedition that visited Leviti and Tarunua in 1590. Kiravian colonisation of Sarolasta began in earnest in 1592 AD with the construction of a stockade by Ivo Siguatera on the site of modern-day Kanoka Point. | In 1584 AD, the Imperial Bank of Kintær's Austral Ocean Armada under the command of Levar Trimartolon anchored at Kapenga Island in modern-day [island group/state name TBD], lingering for several weeks to make repairs, replenish supplies, and sample the local flavours.

After the Socialist victory in the [[Kiravian Civil War]], Sarolasta remained in the hands of the Federalists and would form part of the [[Kiravian Remnant]]. Orthodox Marxism and [[Kirosocialism]], with their urban-industrial proletarian focus and anticlerical tendencies, never caught on in the Catholic agrarian archipelago. However, in its weakened state the Federalist government of the Remnant feared that anti-colonial nationalism, liberation theology, and the designs of rival colonial powers threatened its control of Sarolasta. Sarolasta was now more important to the Kiravian overseas network than ever before: After Æonara and Kiravian [[Cusinaut]], it was the Remnant's third most populous region, held important natural resources, and helped strategically maintain communications with Cusinaut and the [[Saxalin Islands|Saxalins]]. The need to bolster Sarolastans' loyalty to the rump Federacy formed the impetus behind the [[Index of Kiravian Legislation|Sarolasta Reform Act]], which transformed the position of the Sarolastan provinces from a subordinate colonial relationship to one of integration into the National patrimony. Colonial governments were semi-democratised, greater authority was devolved to the provincial and local levels, a schedule for the admission of the larger provinces as full states of the Federacy was set. Perhaps most interestingly, the Act directed the Prime Executive to exercise [[Marble Emperor|Imperial]] prerogative in order to declare the majority of the native population as Coscivians. That is to say that native tribes who practiced monogamy and monotheism and adopted the Four Rites and Four Precepts were to be reclassified as Coscivian ''[[tuva]]''. Their chiefs would be recognised as vassals of the Marble Emperor, and they would be enrolled in one of the [[Seven Nations]] and become ''[[Kolakoskem|Kotakoskem]]''. The Act also removed a number of legal disabilities applied to the remaining non-Coscivian native populations. | |||
