The '''Yajawil of Kumakah''' is a province in southern [[Mutul]]. Divided between the Achi Lowlands and the K'iche Highlands, the Yajawil sit at the foot of [[Nojwitz Mountains]], the physical border between the Divine Kingdom and the [[Sante Reze|Noble Republic]]. The [[Chixoy River]] find its source in the K'iche Highlands and flow through the province and continue its road for thousand of kilometers until reaching the [[Makrian Ocean]] in [[Kayahallpa]]. Beside Sante Reze to its south, Kumakah is border to the west by the [[Yajawil of Mamk'ab]], to the north west by the [[Yajawil of Tolonik]], to the north by the [[Yajawil of Pokomk'ab]], and to the north east by the [[Yajawil of Pokomwitz]].
Nonetheless, the relations between the Separatists and the Triple-Monarchy were anything but cordial: the persecution of all religion by the Republicans soured relations with the Monarchist and conservative society of Drevstran. The Ludvo-Drevstraneses Wars represent part of the wider [[Wars of Ludvosiya]] that opposed the new Confederation and all of its neighbors at one point or another. Relations between the two entities during those wars were complicated as Drevstran alternated between direct opposition to the Confederation and covert support, trying to maintain a wide buffer against other perceived threats such as [[Velikoslavia]] or [[Mesogeia]].


The Yajawil represent more or less the core of what was the [[Kingdom of Kumakah]], the {{wp|K'iche people|K'iche}} kingdom that would go on to conquer the rest of the Mutul during the late 11th century. Its rulers would become the [[Divine Monarchy of the Mutul|K'uhul Ajawtek]], and the latest of these K'iche Dynasties is none other than the [[Ilok'tab Dynasty]] which has ruled over the Mutul since the 13th century.
Relations normalized in the second half of the 19th century as the last territories occupied by Drevstran were ceded back to Ludvosiya. Previously hidden relations became public knowledge as economic relations grew between the Triple-Monarchy and the Republics. The [[Drevstranese Civil War|Drevstranese]] and [[Ludvosiyan Civil War]]s reshuffled the cards as factions in one conflict had privileged allies in the other warring country. [[Vilvo Orbraggar]] notably received the support of the Ludvosiyans [[Pan-Nationalists]] and Orbraggar returned the favor after his victory by directly intervening militarily on their side in [[Arazija]].


Despite its relative isolation, Kumakah remain a core region of the Mutul and the most developped of the southern provinces. It's economy is centered around {{wp|Heavy industry}} and {{wp|Engineering}}. Kumakah is notably where the Mutul' {{wp|Arms industry|weapon manufactures}} are located, far removed from potential threats and close to the raw materials and energy extracted from the mountains and rivers.
As a result under the [[First Mervoshia]], the two countries shared cordial relations. But the situation rapidly soured in the aftermath of the [[Black Streets Days]]: the overthrowing of [[Vernesto Skolad]], the creation of the Second Mervoshia, and the decision by [[Marveil Urshlo]], Fourth Mervoret of Drevstran, to seek a political and economic alignment on the [[Latium]] instead of its northern neighbor, all participated in the relative chilling of Ludvo-Drevstraneses ties with the exception of specific states such as Arazija which kept excellent relations with Drevstran throughout.
 
Kumakah is a very conservative province, home to some of the oldest and most powerful houses and families of the Divine Kingdom. It was notably the powerbase of the Royalists during the [[Sajal War]] and its from Kumakah that [[Itzamnaaj B'alam]] reconquered the throne for his son, [[B'alijaj Chan K'awiil II]] and the K'iche people there have remained both Orthodox in their practice of the [[White Path]] and indefectible in their attachement to the [[Divine Throne]]. In return, the Kumakah is one of the most well funded province and access to healthcare is easier there than in most other provinces of the Mutul.
 
==Etymology==
The Yajawil is named after its capital city, [[Kumakah]]. ''Kumakah'' itself is a deformation in [[Mutli]] of the {{wp|K'iche language|K'iche}} name of the agglomeration: ''Qʼumarkah''. The meaning, "Place of old reeds", is a traditional expression in Western Mutul used to refer to a large metropolis or powerful city. [[Danguixh|Puh]] (or Tullan) in [[Yajawil of Kanol|Kanol]] share a similar etymology to Kumakah. This is one of the many clues used by certain historians to validate the traditional myths of the {{wp|Kʼicheʼ people}} that tie them to the ancient [[Chik'in Kingdom]] and the [[K'uy Dynasty]].

The Drevstran-Ludvosiya relations cover the tumultuous history and bilateral relations shared by the Second Mervoshia and the Commonwealth of Free Republics. The two eastern Belisarian states share a common land border and were both, in totality or partially, part of the larger Velikoslavian Empire. The Separatists Republics who would form the Commonwealth were the first to obtain their independence during the 19th century, but the Triple-Monarchy - the collection of Imperial Realms in personal union with the King of Lushyodorstag outside of the Empire, had been autonomous and de-facto independent for a century prior to their physical separation from Velikoslavia.

Nonetheless, the relations between the Separatists and the Triple-Monarchy were anything but cordial: the persecution of all religion by the Republicans soured relations with the Monarchist and conservative society of Drevstran. The Ludvo-Drevstraneses Wars represent part of the wider Wars of Ludvosiya that opposed the new Confederation and all of its neighbors at one point or another. Relations between the two entities during those wars were complicated as Drevstran alternated between direct opposition to the Confederation and covert support, trying to maintain a wide buffer against other perceived threats such as Velikoslavia or Mesogeia.

Relations normalized in the second half of the 19th century as the last territories occupied by Drevstran were ceded back to Ludvosiya. Previously hidden relations became public knowledge as economic relations grew between the Triple-Monarchy and the Republics. The Drevstranese and Ludvosiyan Civil Wars reshuffled the cards as factions in one conflict had privileged allies in the other warring country. Vilvo Orbraggar notably received the support of the Ludvosiyans Pan-Nationalists and Orbraggar returned the favor after his victory by directly intervening militarily on their side in Arazija.

As a result under the First Mervoshia, the two countries shared cordial relations. But the situation rapidly soured in the aftermath of the Black Streets Days: the overthrowing of Vernesto Skolad, the creation of the Second Mervoshia, and the decision by Marveil Urshlo, Fourth Mervoret of Drevstran, to seek a political and economic alignment on the Latium instead of its northern neighbor, all participated in the relative chilling of Ludvo-Drevstraneses ties with the exception of specific states such as Arazija which kept excellent relations with Drevstran throughout.
