History
The area was home to several tribes, the people on the island were friendly, and the island was beautiful. It was also an ideal location for fishing. However, the people of the island were poor.
In the 1360s it was settled by Orioni in a colonial enterprise, with two important trade depots. It quickly became an important export centre for the region, with large quantities of rum, coconuts, and other tropical products shipped there. The products are then distributed by boat to other ports and islands.
The island's importance grew as a strategic location for supervising the seas between east and west. Its control was contested by various outsiders. In 1384, it was the location of the Battle of Oliderini, where a combined Salamid fleet was decisively defeated by the Orinese one. In the early 1390s, the island became an important base for the Orinese navy.
Early travellers and tourists visited Tahini for its Chulese heritage, with archaeological sites located throughout the island. Many of the Orinese who settled there died of yellow fever and malaria. The seaport of Marikabiye was expanded in 1796, after an earthquake had badly damaged the old wooden pier.
The 1840s decolonisation movement began in Baribeni, with secret support from the ruling strongman in Hakenium. This first decolonising action went on to inspire similar campaigns in other colonies, including Tahini.
In 1847 the Orinese withdrew from Tahini after a series of financial losses. The Orinese government granted an Iberic company sole rights to the island and its surrounding waters. The Iberics later sold their rights to the Port of Marikabiye to the Mirrosi. The island was promptly taken over by savvy merchants from Miiros, who renamed the island to Malindi.
