History
According to Qonklese literature, Cuáma was founded in 2520 BCE as the core city of the ancient Wa Dynasty, formed from twenty tribes of the surrounding basin, considered to be the cradle of Qonklese civilization.
Ancient Qonklese rule of Cuáma ended alongside the fall of the Wa Dynasty in 888 BCE, after the city was sacked by Ancient Iris. Various Qonklese successor states started to form in the rest of the former Wa Kingdom. Qonklese rule never returned to Cuáma until the Great Ekuosian War.
In the 1920s, Dain Pain was obsessed with retaking Cuáma for the Qonklese Empire. In a sense of symbolic retaliation, the empire committed war crimes against Riyans in their conquest of the city in 1939, at the onset of the Mirarian Theater.
