Similar to most South Cronan nations, the first inhabitants of Porlos likely migrated from [[Audonia]] to [[Varshan]], then to what is now Porlos. Many indigenous tribes of note, including the Soqweux, Porsaahi, Qaitekee, and Anterii tribes set up permanent farming settlements throughout the land. It is important to note that Porlos, along with Veraise and Ormatia, were three of the only regions at that time to establish the aforementioned permanent settlements, in contrast to the nomadic hunter-gatherer settlements seen in more southern areas, such as modern-day [[Tierrador]], [[Ceylonia]], and [[Istrenya]]. The lands settled by the Soqweux and Porsaahi tribes were challenged by the early [[Tierrador#Abio Woqalate|Abio Woqalate]] in the 700s BC, however, the tribes stood their ground against the Abio and successfully pushed them back twice. | |||
Around 150 BC, the Soqweux had experienced a large population boom within their tribe. This allowed for them to project more power over the other tribes of Porlos, as these tribes mostly relied on the vast resources of the Soqweux. After the Abio Woqalate fell in 677 AD, and was replaced by the much more powerful [[Tierrador#Qabóri Woqalate|Qabóri Woqalate]], the Soqweux tribe had grown its sphere of influence to all of modern-day Porlos, Asteria, Betlands, and Veraise, to the point where it was nearing the Qabóri lines. The Qabóri city of [[Winnecomac]], at the time split between the Winnecom, Soqweux, and Tulang tribes but under Qabóri jurisdiction, became the site of many skirmishes from 689 to 722. By the mid-720s, Qabór had sent a number of legions into Soqweux territory, taking the entire region in a little under eight months. While fear loomed over the many tribes of the new Qabóri colonies, the Woqalate was surprisingly fair towards the tribes, encouraging them to cooperate with the ''qoyalets'' of the Qabóri mainland. | |||
Qabóri colonization in Soqweux lasted relatively long, from 722 to 1335. Soqweux served as an integral role to the Qabóri economy, exporting large amounts of gold, silver, silk, wool, and olive oil. The colony was separated into seven qoyalets, with the borders giving fair consideration to the tribal makeup of the area. Many modern-day elements of Porlosi culture were derived from the years of Qabóri conquest. The colonization was very beneficial for the area, as the Qabóri military provided reasonable defense against the looming [[Zurgite Varshan]]. Before colonization, Soqweux was heavily affected by the yearly [[The Hunt (Varshan)|Hunts]], however following the arrival of Qabór, any attempts on the Soqweux population from Varshan were met with fierce resistance from the Woqalate. | |||

Following nearly 650 years of Qabóri colonization, the Woqalate of Soqweux was granted its independence in 1335. This had occurred due to the weakening of the Qabóri Woqalate by the [[Matokté Tashcanate]], and it had become a nuisance to govern such large territory from Qabór. The colonies in Ormatia, Soqweux's neighbor, would been granted their independence almost twenty years later, as the [[Woqalate of Tasokotee]], for similar reasons. The new Woqalate would become a vassal to Qabór, with a ruling dynasty implemented that followed practically the same views as the then-ruling dynasty of Qabór, the [[House of Qhamahee]]. | |||
