Pahonja

Pahonja was a league of Kapalanan people under the Pahonjau isle.

Founding
The nation would originate from a pact between the town Tsalja and Eskirija. Both have feared foreign encroachment to the isle Pahonjau and sought cooperation under that fear. The nation would expand the pact throughout the isles of the sea Tengana.

Membership
Eskirija, hearing rumours of an Akratian invasion, joins the Concordant. The rest of the Pact would follow. The nation wouldn't do much from the start to the end of the Concordant. Though the headman was implicated in the Bombings, the nation would continue onwards. When the Concordant disbanded, Pahonja jumped ship and joined DE'ASS and is still a member of it to this day.

Changing Times
The nation Valtyrion, starting with the town Balhurst had declared its independence on the Soyuds isles with Pahonjan support. The inhabitants of the nation Kronesia would at this time, vanish from Rathnir. Pahonja would expand its claims to their isles, their easternmost plains, and old Petersburg, though only in name, as the focus of the people still rested upon the more eastward isles.

While the peninsula itself would be DEASS property for a time, a people from Plagos, reminiscent of the Naverechy, migrated unto what they claimed to be their old homeland. They would then buy most of what is formerly continental Kronesia, resulting in a decent amount of profit to the Pahonjaun treasury.

Unity
These people, whose name has been struck out of history, would become a thorn to the continent. Proposing tolls on roads they didn't build, standoffish to diplomacy after the hospitality provided by the continent, and the Valdics even claim them a murderer of the Valdic diaspora within old Kronesia. Their subsequent end would bring about the end of peace within the continent, as warring foreigners that sought land banded with the Valdics and the Soumeri, now joined with the DEASS, to drive them out. The lessons of these times wouldn't fall on deaf ears, and the Union of Sorligste would be declared sometime after.

Stagnancy
Even with the Union declared, nothing much happened. Pahonja would progress as before while within the Union. The only notable event that occurred within the isles were the settlement of the formerly Posavarian isles by the Ivanians and later, integration into the union under the region of Pahonja with their debts traded from Yimmu Audal, and the sale of the last Soyud outposts near Akratia to Eisenland. The continent would again, be troubled by the peninsula, as Osteria, a foreign people who aided the continent during the war, would first settle the mountains of Farnak claimed by the Frostmarch region, and threaten the Union with an invasion when a diplomat was send. The Union's military at the time was at a decrepit state, only headed by a small retinue led by the Valdic Jarl, the Union would join the Pirate Empire of Tortuga.

Pirates
After a brief period of Greenland being their representative and leader within the Tortugan Council, their exit would again involve Pahonja, now as a captaincy, to be involved with matters of Tortuga. Again, nothing much occured for a time. Osteria would be bought by Tortuga, and Sorligste was united. The First Dissolvement would bring with it the sale of the Pahonjan isle, east of the peninsula. The Second Dissolvement would see the continent mostly free from Tortuga.

Pahonja would suffer an economic crisis between the Dissolvements as the Pahonjaun treasury was discovered to be near empty, mass chaos and looting ensued. Sailors from Kartek would take advantage of this and loot many things, from books collected since the beginning of Tsalja to a Heart of the Sea discovered beneath the sands. They would settle the hill made by the Eskirijan on the southern isle and trouble the Pahonjauns. A brief war was declared, and with the aid of mercenaries, the settlement was no more. The looted treasures were nowhere to be found, either destroyed with explosives and flame that came upon the settlement, or brought back to their homeland in Kartek.

Current Happenings
Pahonja would suffer a minor decline from recovery of the war. The recent discovery of the Depths would alert the Pahonjans, as their hole to the Sea is closed with stone. The gold boom from mining the basins of the Depths would then fund the building of the stone walls over the northern isle, replacing the former bamboo walls, their sacredness broken. The town Glacialja would be found on the ruins of the sailor's settlement and Eskirija began to grow back to the olden days. All is well.
