History

The first recorded diplomatic relations between Tyreseian and Pulaui peoples were cemented in the 11th century CE. During this period, what is now Tyreseia was a collection of merchant-dominated city-states under the suizerainty of the Caliphate. Modern-day Pulau Keramat was the homeland of the Tahamaja Empire, a seafaring collection of coastal trade posts and mercantile centers that spanned the Ozeros Sea. Thanks to the Caliphate's dominance of most of the entirety of northern Scipia, the Tyresene merchants within were granted newfound access to far-flung markets away from the Periclean. Several merchants from places like New Tyria and Coptia (now Oyat) formed the League of the East in 947 CE to exploit the Ozerosi market. Their first project was to found the city of Shidunadast (now on the east coast of modern-day Fahran), which grew over the intervening centuries from a trade outpost into the beating political and economic heart of the Tyresene trade network in the region. Not long after the Tyresene commercial expansion into the Ozerosi region did the merchants begin hearing of, and later interacting with, the rising Tahamajans. The Empire was actively expanding its own trade network in the region, and the two quickly established trade bonds in the early 11th century. The Tyresene arrival proved fortuitous for the Tahamajans; not only did they have a new trade partner that could bring them goods from Belisaria and the Periclean, but the religion of the Tyresene traders made them particularly useful. Many communities in the Caliphate and other Yen-dominated religions were opposed to trade with the N'nhivara traders of the Tahamaja. Most Tyresene traders at the time practiced either Coptic Nazarism or Judaism. The monotheism inherent to these religions made them more amenable to Yen communities, and the Tahamaja were willing to accept a middleman in order to grant them access to previously-inoperable markets. Thus, soon after the establishing of ties in the 1010s CE, by the 1020s and 1030s the Tyresenes out of Shidunadast were constructing large numbers of trade outposts across the Ozeros in tandem with the Tahamajans, reaching as far south as modern-day Pulacan. Many of these outposts shared power between the Tyresenes and Tahamajans. Often, a large cothon, or enclosed harbor, would be constructed with a Pulaui-style pelabuhan, or symbolic lighthouse-cum-government office, residing on the central inner military island. From within this spacious building, both the panguwasa (Tahamajan harbormaster and overall chief political official of the city) and the šūfeṭ (consul in charge of Tyresene mercantile affairs and reporting back to the adon or doge in Shidunadast) would govern the city and consult with each other. This blended "mandala" system of power allowed both the Tyresenes and Tahamajans to prosper for centuries under the former's ambiguous status of subservience. Unlike the Tahamajans, the Tyresenes never made as significant of an effort to impress cultural diffusion or assimilation on most of its foreign populations. As a result, they made much less of a lasting impact on the region than their colleagues. Much of the evidence of their presence is therefore archaeological, such as the restored Tyresene Gardens and cothon in Mabesekwa, Pulacan; B; and C. Nevertheless, persistent communities of Tyresene expatriates existed across the Ozeros, even into the modern day, at places like X, Y, and Z.

Following the eruption of the Siriwang volcano in 1353, the Tahamajan Empire collapsed and the Tyresenes in the Ozeros found themselves stranded. Irrevocably tied to the collapsing old order, many of the Tyresene merchant settlements on the periphery either collapsed, saw invasion and conquest for their dwindling riches, or simply assimilated into the surrounding communities. The northern settlements, farther from the volcano, held on longer than those on the southern fringes and those closer to the Pulaui islands. Famed Tyresene ethnographer and medieval author Ahumm Bōdashtarti was in the midst of the Tahamajan court when Siriwang erupted, and was left to write extensive chronicles and literature based on his experiences in the Ozeros.
