History
Ancient History
Lahaela was first founded around the year 3,000BCE by local tribes and due to its strategic position helped the tribe expand into the Salkik Empire which conquered much of the southern coast of the modern Cape Bay. The city quickly grew and the first palace was built only a hundred or so years after the foundation, it is even thought that Lahaela meant 'palace' or 'seat of government' in ancient Aljian. The city had strong control over the empire and managed to sustain itself on agriculture selling things like fruits, spices and and becoming a trading hub for the Empire. Eventually when it was time to give the empire subdivisions, Lahaela was given its own jurisdiction to expand with the city, this also let people in the city be governed by different laws, giving them more rights than the outlying peasants, which began mass immigration from the country sides to the city. When the Salkik empire collapsed in 982AD the Chushga Empire took hold of the city and expanded it down to the island of Al Siyara and up to Rie Lake, keeping Lahaela the capital of the growing empire.
Colonial Times
In the year 1550 the Riamese colonised the southern island of Al Siyara which they eventually used as a strategy point to invade the Chushga Empire in 1599 and took control of all of it by 1652AD. The capital for the new Riamese colony was set as Lahaela as it was the largest city at the time. It continued to be the most important city in keeping the colony stable, so extra attention was given to it throughout the colonisation period. Around 1676 the Royal Family of 'The Royal Cape' (as it was called at the time), were thrown out of the city and fled to the Northern Saho Islands which were not colonised until independence. Due to this removal, anti-riamese sentiments grew which resulted in the native people burning down Riamese neighbourhoods and buildings. In retaliation the Riamese burnt down multiple historic neighbourhoods and landmarks which sparked an independence movement in the south colony.
