| The '''Yajawil of Nokaj''' is the easternmost viceroyalty of the [[Mutul]]. It represent the upper course of the Kuwajuwa and Chetzaj rivers with a highly contrasted geography between the rolling lowlands and the high summits of the Nojwitz mountains. Its capital, and largest city, is [[Tzitot]] located between the two riverbeds and is an important step for land trades going between the Divine Kingdom and [[Sante Reze]]. The Yajawil is bordered by the [[Yajawil of Xukaj|Xukaj]] to the north-west, [[Orun Redisus]] to the north, [[Sante Reze]] to the east, the [[Yajawil of Nobeya]] to the south, and the [[Yajawil of Yajumel]] to the west. With a surface area of 111,159 km², it's the third largest subdivision of the country.
| |
|
| |
| Before the [[Kayamucan Empire]], the region was home to a myriad of {{wp|Chiefdom}}s united in confederations for military and religious purposes. The largest of these confederations were the {{wp|Muisca|Zipa-Zaque}}, the {{wp|Tairona|Teijua}}, {{wp|Chimila people|Ette Ennaka}}, {{wp|Panche people|Tolima}}, and {{wp|Nutabe}} Confederations. Despite their people and elites' inclusion, integration, and sometime even assimilation into the larger Chan culture, the people of Nokaj have retained strong cultural and religious specificities in regard to the rest of the Mutul, making it one of the most original Vice-royalties of the kingdom alongside its "sister yajawil" of [[Yajawil of Xukaj|Xukaj]].
| |
| ==History==
| |
|
| |
| ===Kayamucan Empire===
| |
|
| |
| After the defeat of the {{wp|Tairona|Teijua}} and {{wp|Nutabe}} Confederations, the entirety of Nokaj became part of the [[Kayamuca Empire]]. Each hamlet was recorded as an {{wp|Ayllu}} and were grouped into ''Hurin'' administrations that matched the geography but not necessarily previous tribal or cultural divisions. Lands were redistributed, roads and bridges were built, and market were closed, replaced by warehouses and tribute collectors. As the Empire' center moved to their Oxidentale' holdings, Nokaj and its neighboring [[Yajawil of Xukaj|Xukaj]] became increasingly vital and important to the Kayamucans. But as the Empire collapsed, the {{wp|Chimila people|Ette Ennaka}} emerged as a quasi-state. Their autonomy would become Independence when they sided with the [[Mutul]] during the latter invasions between 1261 and 1320.

| ===Yao Wars===
| |
| [[File:Jm01500yaxlin08det.jpg|200px|thumb|Copy of a stelae depicting Viceroy Kohbalam capture of Upaj]]
| |
| In the south of Xukaj and the north of Nokaj, the {{wp|Chimila people|Ette Ennaka}}, nominally under the tutelage of the Viceroy in [[Puylum]], had their own state and their own {{wp|Monotheism|monotheist}} religion. The demands of the [[Mutul]] in 1328 to recognize the divine nature of the [[Divine Monarchy of the Mutul|K'uhul Ajaw]], to accept the existence of multiple creator gods, and to adopt the [[Bitzk'uh]] as part of their religious litterature were not well received by the Ette Ennaka. [[White_Path#Organisation|Aj K'inob and Aj Menob]] from Puylum were banished from their territory and the Ette Ennaka refused to pay tribute to the Viceroy any longer. [[Chimichagua]] was elected war leader of the Ette Ennaka in 1359. The fiction of Mutulese control over the Ette Ennaka was lost when Chimichagua's troops defeated the columns sent by Puylum to suppress the revolt.
| |
|
| |
| The [[Yajawil_of_Xukaj#Purity_Quarrel|Purity Quarrel]] (1366 - 1382) prevented the Mutul from dealing with the Ette Ennaka, who were free to develop their state in the meanwhile, occupying almost all of modern Nokaj. But as the Mutulese threat lost priority and Chimichagua launched himself in expansionists endeavors, dissenters appeared who contested Chimichagua' abuse of powers and who wanted to maintain the traditional tribal social structure,something Chimichagua increasingly autocratic rule threatened.
| |
|
| |
| In reaction to the rebellion, the K'iche built a new {{wp|Sacbeob|Sak B'e}} going from [[Kʼumakah]] to the south-west border of Xukaj. A decade long monumental work through hundreds of kilometers that allowed the [[Ilok'tab Dynasty|Ilok'tab]] to reassert their control over the southern reaches of the Mutul. With the end of the Purity Quarrel in 1382, Chimichagua' coalition found itself forced to fight a two-front wars against the K'iche. The latter notably targeted the Ette Ennaka' plantations, freeing the slaves and promising them their ancient masters' lands as communal holdings. Alongside the freed slaves, the K'iche gained the support of the {{wp|Arhuaco|Ika}} and {{wp|Kogi people|Kogi}} chiefdoms who had been in open conflict with the nascent Ette kingdom. In 1385 Chimichagua and his lieutenants took their own lives to avoid being captured and the last holdouts of the rebellion surrendered.
| |
|
| |
| The Ette Ennaka were forced to recognize the K'uhul Ajaw as a deity, to accept Yao as an Avatar of [[Itzamna]] the main Creator God of the Mutulese pantheon but only one of thirteen, and to respect the Slave Code among other laws of the Mutul, further destabilising their caste-based society. The liberation of all slaves who had supported the K'iche, the redistribution of lands, the deportation of war prisoners, and the division of the Ette Ennaka' kingdom in half between the Viceroyalties of Xukaj and Nohkaj, aggravated the triple social, economic and religious crisis of the defeat for the Ette Ennaka.
| |
|
| |
| A new Yaoist rebellion would be led a generation later by a new religious warchief, [[Upaj]], who rejected the multiplicity the Divine and wanted to re-establish a Ette Ennaka state. It would last from 1415 to 1422 and end once again with the defeat of the Yaoists, the deportation of war prisoners, but also with the destruction of the main temple to Yao and its reconstruction as the modern Solar Temple of [[Tamaja]], in Xukaj.
| |
|
| |
| ===Chanisation===
| |
|
| |
| After 1385, the Ette Ennaka territories were split in half. The northern part were to be administered by [[Puylum]] in the [[Yajawil of Xukaj]]. Meanwhile, war veterans, freed slaves, and deported prisoners were settled in new urban agglomeration in the south. [[Tzitot]], the "new house", was founded and made the capital of these new territories and tributaries, collectively known henceforth as Nokaj, "South of the two rivers".

| ===Sajal War===
| |
| {{main article|Sajal War}}
| |
|
| |
| At the start of the divine war, Nokaj had been sidelined from global trade networks due to its remoteness. Land trade through the mountains into [[Sante Reze]] were possible, but limited due to the lack of settlements in the Rezese Savannah and jungles.

| |
|
| |
| [[Tzitot]] ("New House") is the capital of the Province and serve as the seat of its Viceroy. The province is divided in eleven {{wp|Kuchkabal}}ob, generally named after their capitals, some possess their own {{wp|Customary law}}s that detail their administration' inner working.
| |
|
| |
| The three {{wp|Muisca|Chibcha}} Kuchkabalob of [[Hunza]], [[Muyquita]] (or Muykita), and [[Sugamuxi]] are ruled by the {{wp|Muisca rulers|Hua}}, {{wp|Muisca rulers|Zipa}}, and {{wp|Iraca|Iraka}} respectively. The Iraka is also the High Priest and keeper of the [[Xuek'uhnah]], the Sun Temple, dedicated to {{wp|Sué|Xue}}, one of [[Itzamna]] avatar in the unified [[White Path]] cosmology. He is nominated by the {{wp|Batab}}ob (Mayors, or "Sybyn" in Chibcha) of Sugamuxi, but appointed by the Viceroy. The Zipa of Muykita is chosen in a similar fashion and is also both the secular and religious leader of his Kuchkabal. He is responsible for the {{wp|Bachué|Cult of Baxue}}, interpreted as an avatar of {{wp|Maya_maize_god#Female_and_male_deities|Ixim}} (the female aspect of the Maize Deity) and notably the ritual offering of golden and silver objects in the sacred lakes of the Chibchas Kuchkabalob, doors to {{wp|Xibalba|Underworld}}.
| |
|
| |
| Under the Sybyn, the district leaders (''Aj Kuch Kab'' in the rest of the Mutul) are called "Uta".

| | '''Drevstran Intervention in Ludvosiya''', or '''Farza VII War''', was a conflict between the recently-created Triplpe-Crown of [[Drevstran]] and the [[Ludvosiya|Ludvosiyan Commonwealth]] that lasted from 1814 to 1841. It can be divided into three phrases: the initial naval campaign and the occupation of [[Hvratztan]] and [[Arazija]] lake ports, the invasion and military campaigns in the aforementioned republics, and finally the decades-long siege of the port-cities until finally a peace treaty was signed between the belligerents and the Drevstraneses garrisons were evacuated. |
| [[File:Koguis Shaman.jpg|200px|thumb|A mamo]]
| |
| The [[White Path]] is the state religion of the [[Mutul]] but as a polytheist religion some level of religious plurality is able to express itself. The [[School of Masirguta]] is the most important sect in Nokaj. Originating from the {{wp|Chimila people|Ette Ennaka}} own faith this school, which follow a set of teachings said to come from [[Masirguta]], a figure linked to the broader White Path [[Itzamna|First Priest]] and an avatar of [[Itzamna]] which the school' followers call ''Yao'' or ''Narayajana''. Despite its origin in a potentially {{wp|monotheism|monotheist}} faith, the School of Masirguta is nowadays counted among the "Orthodox" denominations of the Mutul.
| |
|
| |
|
| More specific to Nokaj is [[Kunsamüism]]. This sect is especially important among the {{wp|Arhuaco|Ika}} and {{wp|Kogi people|Kogi}} people as it emerged from their own tribal faiths. At age nine Ika and Kogi boys are selected to become a ''Mamo'', the sect's priests. They will receive training for a minimum of nine years in a cave sanctuary while the elders teach them everything they need to know. They specialize in certain knowledge areas such as philosophy, sacerdotalism, medicine and practical community or individual counselors. The Mamos are recognized as [[White_Path#Aj_K.27in|Aj K'in]] by the [[Divine Throne]]. Cave sanctuaries are especially important to Kunsamüism and can be found everywhere in the Yajawil.
| | Farza VII War is generally counted among the [[Ludvosiyan Wars]], a series of post-independence conflicts that saw the Commonwealth fight against all of its neighbors at one point or another with the survival of the Free Republics on the line. The Drevstranese Intervention itself was triggered by Ludvosiya' anti-clericalism and religious purges, and aimed to protect the [[Aletheic Church]] and re-establish the Arch-Presbyter of Kulpanitsa over coastal Hvratztan, all Arazija, and Drevstran as it had been under the [[Velikoslavia|Velikoslavian Empire]]. Drevstran' goal in the war shifted over the years, depending on military successes and defeats, but the religious question remained the main diplomatic concern of the Triple-Crown. |

|
| [[File:Sierra nevada.JPG|200px|thumb|{{wp|Jacawitz|Gonawindua}}, the Holy Mountain]]
| | During the war, the Island Republic of [[Zostro]] would remain part of Ludvosiya despite being de-facto fully sovereign and treated as such by Drevstran who never invaded it over concerns in the human cost of a potential landing. Zostro de-facto neutrality helped secure its post-war position within the confederation notably in the shipmaking industry as its sister-republics naval sectors had been crippled by the occupation. The war, and the duality of Drevstran' diplomacy that was both trying to negotiate the return of religious freedom in Ludvosiya while also at time covertly supporting the Commonwealth against its other enemies, would be the baseline on which relations between the two states would be built later on, a mixture of defiance and temporary cooperation on specific questions, always with cold underlying tensions. |
| The Kunsamü is the name of the Universal Law, given to the Ika and Kogi by the ''Mamo Niankua'', the boy-like avatar of [[Itzamna]] and the First Priest of their religion. It teaches that the World was created by the Thirteen Deities, presided by [[Itzamna|Kakü Serankua]] and {{wp|Ixchel|Aluna}}. The holiest site of Kunsamüism is the Holy Mountain {{wp|Jacawitz|Gonawindua}}, a physical manifestation of the "First Mountain" of the wider White Path pantheon. Pilgrimages to Gonawindua count among the most important religious events of the Yajawil and attract people from all over the Mutul.
