In 1772 BCE, the first evidence of a Qonklese organized military was found in modern day western Methinaqh. The army was used to fight on a crusade against the ancient Mettic Empire, which both cultures have been at odds for about the past 300 years.

In the events of the Warring States Period, according to legend, the Qonklese people made first contact with a Xynden in 1204 BCE. This was potentially the first time Xynden “city tree” culture has spread from the Xynden islands.

1373 CE, with Qonklese homelands being threatened by an invading force (Sunrise Horde) yet again, royal scholars and engineers joint forces and constructed the Sunset Wall along the modern day border of Riyana and Hux Kham. During this time, Wy Euk, Emperor of the Ngwen Dynasty, introduced the Mahavic vertical script during the time of his reign, significantly improving literacy rates. The old logographic script because obsolete among the lower classes.


During the Republican Revolutions in 1903, Officials decided to reintroduce Qonklese Logograms into daily use. This was further reinforced by the fascist dictator Ci Dûw, as he made learning Qonklese Logograms mandatory. After the downfall of the Republic, the Kuulist QonCom Party sought to remove the logograms completely, but they decided to keep it, as many have already fully converted to the script.

To score a point, one must attempt to strike the opponent with the sensor end of the chopstick. The more lethal version of this sport is played every year in Qonklese New Year, where two volunteers battle to their deaths with steel pointed chopsticks. Before the match, the two volunteers swear a blood oath to prevent the loser's spirit to haunt the winner in the afterlife. The winner, if still conscious, will be paraded on top of a golden carriage around the city of Jikring. It is considered to be the most honourable thing to die in this competition.
