The Looan Principality was a Neuew Adventurer state established in 1373 by Fila zas Looan, who took his name from Louie, the first territory annexed by him. He grew the state into one encompassing parts of Escribano, Louie, and Tio. His early conquests were swift, as the native Y tribes were too primitive and disorganized to resist him, but his continued expansions brought him into contact and conflict with the Barbarine civilization, an advanced kingdom located on the island of the same name off Dulando. Conflicts between Barbarine and Looan would define the early history of the principality, with a peaceful period between the 1450s and the mid 1500s. This peace period changed when Byrdish trade companies, seeking Dulandish spices, brokered deals with Barbarine to support them against Looan in order to secure the spice trade. Barbarine, armed with Byrdish gunpowder weaponry, overwhelmed the Neuew principality in a war between 1610 and 1616 in which, despite the more advanced state of Neuew weaponry and tactics, Barbarine was able to defeat the Looans in several key battles, ending with the conquest of Kãf Puhx in 1616.
