History
Prehistory
Before the 1500s
Before Osveraali contact, the Tsaban and Shalorjan people were politically and culturally separate. Unlike their Nordjaelmar neighbours to the north, the Tsabans engaged in relatively little trade with Cananganam, or any other nation, and have been viewed, both by contemporaries and current historians, as isolationist and xenophobic. Tsaban folk religion was the dominant belief system of the time.
The Sack of Eluin
Osveraali Contact and Occupation
The Osveraali Empire arrived on Alpa, on the Claw of Tsaba in the late 1500s. Though Osveraali law and government was instituted, Tsaban civilians kept most of its culture and language. After Osveraali rule had been cemented in Tsaba and Shalorja, a wealthier, more politically powerful class of Osveraali dalar held power. Though most inhabitants still spoke either Tsaban or Shalorjan, Imperial Osveraali became the standard language of government and law, as well as a sign of prestige and education, leading to diglossia between an Imperial Osveraali-speaking dalar minority and a lower-class human majority. Tsaban, which had no dedicated writing system at the time, was transcribed into sanapata.
First Period of Independence
By the 1700s, the Osveraali Empire's grip on Alpa was already weakening due to growing political autonomy and nationalism. With the death of the Osveraali Empress Mazahira in 1788 and the ensuing secession crisis, Tsaba established itself as an independent nation. It is within this time period that the famous Tsabi playwright, NAME TBD, was born, and in which she produced most of her great works.
Nordjaelmish Occupation
Though the leadership was replaced by Nordjaelmish loyalists, the former ruling class of dalar were allowed to keep much of their wealth and influence
The Northern War and The Tsabi War of Independence
Throughout the Northern War, Tsaba was a territory of Nordjaelm. However, civil war in Tsaba drained many of Nordjaelm's wartime resources, and led to civil unrest. Tsaba gained independence from Nordjaelm, and established a new constitution and a democratic process. NAME TBD became the first president of Tsaba, and founded the Party of the Liberated Tsaban People.
