Cadenzan Kamalbia (Khadenz: Khamalb) was a self-governing dependency of the Maritime Republic of Cadenza between 1618 and 1814 and a Cadenzan earldom from 1620. It consisted of the former territory of Exponential Kamalbia, which was sold to Cadenza as part of the Peace of Portus Regalis that concluded the War of the Magpie and the Dragon. For almost two centuries it was the main source of diamonds and other mineral wealth for the Cadenzan empire. The earldom was occupied by Beriquois forces during the Napoleonic Wars and was ceded in 1814.

History

Prior to becoming a Cadenzan territory, southern Kamalbia had been a possession of the Exponential Empire. In 1615, during the War of the Magpie and the Dragon, its capital was attacked and seized by an army under Tariq Kimepra, who went on to occupy the rest of the province. Exponent attempted and failed to dislodge the occupying force, and the territory was consequently sold as part of the Treaty of Portus Regalis in 1618. The capital, Ialica, was rebuilt as the city of Tyúregar. In 1620, the Earls Council voted to co-opt Admiral Kimepra as earl of Kamalbia and established the colony as a self-governing dependency.

In 1622, diamonds were discovered in Kamalbia, leading to an influx of mainly Cadenzan settlers. Tyúregar quickly grew to become a major port as the terminus for Cadenzan treasure ship routes.
