History

Kayamuca Empire

Runakuna settlers were moved from Norumbia to Oxidentale by the Kayamuca Empire to improve the economy of the conquered territories and to better control the distant and oftentime rebellious Runakuna by uprooting them to another border region. Runakuna communities became common in the modern K'aksie and Kalsie, where they lived in agricultural settlements alongside the shores of the rivers and other waterways, while the surrounding hills where populated by Chibchas with whom they often intermingled. Despite the Kayamucan' tight control over all trades within its empire, border populations also exchanged with foreigners. In the case of the Oxidentalese part of the Empire, this included the tribes of the Rezeses Savannah.

In 1211, the Kayamuca Empire lost the Lamkaja valley to the Ilok'tab Dynasty which pushed the population further east to escape the dangers associated with the borderland. Already, autonomous leaders began to settle outside of the Kayamuca traditional border, within the Reze savannah.

With the fall of Gadu in 1314, the Kayamuca had lost their last remaining bastion in Oxidentale. The network of chieftains and warlords that had suceeded to the imperial administration continued to devolved into petty kingship. Tribes and clans who refused the dominion of the Mutul fled southward, through the Savannah.

The Migration

What followed was a century long migration on the southern piedmonts of the Central Mountains. This road went between the Mutul and the Ucayare Forest. In the late 14th century, the Kaya as they were beginning to be known as, were pushed away from the Yajawil of Kumakah, the old core of the K'iche kingdom. Drove further south, the Kayas finally settled in 1434 with the foundation of Tupawasi, where they joined the High Antis' concert of states.
