The Wabayan Shamandom, itself a widely diverse nation of widely differing tribes and groups including, prominently, the Anágans and Haratago, soon became the pre-eminent force in the Lagawa river valley, mastering the river's unpredictable flood cycle and reaching a population of over one million by 600 CE.

Enyama (Enyaman: 에냐마, tr. E-nya-ma), also known as Ahíá and Niborea, is region and former nation-state of approximately 38 million inhabitants situated in northwestern Norumbia. It is bordered to its south by its historical rival, Elatia; it also shares maritime borders with Walzenia. The Enyaman region consists of a core situated in the Lagawa Depression, surrounded to the northwest by the Great Expanse and Kalopere Mountains and to the southeast by the Eternal Mountains on the Elatian border. The most populous ethnic group in the region are the Enyamans, descendants of mixing between Tsurushimese, Wabayan, and Haratago groups. Other important groups include the Norinnians, descendants of Belisarian colonists and the Wiyátamánwit people, Elatians, Tsurushimese, and Anágans.
Etymology
The Enyaman and Tsurushiman word for Enyama is "圓山", meaning "round mountain". The character en (圓) means "round" or otherwise refers to currency; yama (山) means "mountain" or "pile". The compound, therefore, means "round mountain" and is likely derived from the clearly visible peak of the Daimaru, an isolated mountain near the western port city of Fujikawa, where Tsurushiman settlers first arrived in Enyama in 1271. In the New Ochranian script, Enyama is rendered phonetically as "에냐마".
History
Evidence of Norumbian hunter-gatherers in the Lagawa Depression stretches back before 100,000 BCE. These nomadic tribes, especially on the western end of the region, had garnered extensive knowledge of various animals, domesticating animals such as Wapiti and Yak and begun to consolidate into larger social groups. Archeological evidence indicates that these tribes had begun to settle into a lifestyle of semi-nomadic pastoralism around 4000 BCE. Several pre-colonial migrations appear to have occurred in the following millennia, with some considerable mingling occurring across the White Mountains with Runakuna city-states; Haratago tribes also entered into the area and often exchanged resources and tools with local tribes. Among these resources was cold-resistant Enyaman sorghum, which many tribes took to farming, sparking an agricultural revolution and leading to consolidation of the Wabayan Shamandom in 396 CE. On the northern coast, the Wiyátamánwit Confederacy established itself soon afterwards after mastering sorghum and other crops, including maize imported from the Kayamuca Empire.
Pre-Colonial Era
The Wabayan Shamandom, itself a widely diverse nation of widely differing tribes and groups including, prominently, the Anágans and Haratago, soon became the pre-eminent force in the Lagawa river valley, mastering the river's unpredictable flood cycle and reaching a population of over one million by 600 CE. Though many remained nomadic or semi-nomadic, owing to the harsh winters and abundance of wild animals, many in the Wabayan culture began to settle down in large settlements. The de facto capital of the Shamandom was Wahkanea in the south-east of modern Enyama; the city's stone ruins persist to this day and are considered to be prime examples of Wabayan architecture. Wabayan culture remained open to syncretization of belief and mixing between different ethnic groups, however, a political rift began to form between the proto-states in the region, and particularly between the Wiyátamánwit and the Wabayan. The Wiyátamánwit had retained their egalitarian roots with the formation of the Confederacy. The governing body of the Confederacy was the tribal Council of Many, which received delegates from the nation's various subtribes, typically the second-born or second-most-important man in the tribe. This brought them at odds with the increasingly centralized Wabayan, which were ruled by a Great Shaman.
Around the 890s CE, the Wabayan had a large internal conflict which destabilized the nations' rising influence, often referred to as the Wabayan Civil War. The war appeared to have started when one particularly powerful warlord which had gained the trust of several tribes, Kohana, attempted to establish a monarchy. Though Kohana was defeated, many of the tribes which had supported him left the Confederacy and either joined the Wiyátamánwit Confederacy or remained on their own, and the Shamandom began to lose its influence over the majority of the Lagawa river, becoming a regionally-contained but still powerful nation centered around Wahkanea by 1000 CE.
Colonial Era
From the late 10th century onwards, Enyama was subject to colonization from both Belisarian and Ochranese elements: Ottonian settlers and warriors arrived along the eastern coastline in 980 CE, followed in 1049 by Latin settlers, centuries before the Belfrasian Crusade. A loose organization of Ottonians and Latins on the coast established polities, including the Colony of Ala Nova and the Duchy of Innonland, which also stretched into modern Elatia. Tsurushiman settlers arrived on the west coast in 1043, and promptly established the trading outposts of Fujikawa and Soubiro. Despite the inefficient methods of transportation available to the Tsurushiman settlers, the revelation of a continent in the east spurred economic curiosity, leading to a wave of immigration. This first influx is now known as the First Wave of Fujikawa.
By 1252, Enyama was a full-fledged colony of Tsurushima, and a prominent source of both raw materials and cash crops, which were grown largely through indentured servitude.
