Onao

Onao is a nation-state found in eastern Irgaedera, on the border between the continent and its neighbour Petrosa. It is directly south of the Red Ring, from which it is separated by the Kingdom of Elraka. It has a mixed history as parts of the Maba and Sola tribes, shifting between rulers--and continents--several times.

History
Onao had its beginnings as a clan settlement south of the Red Ring between Petrosa and Irgaedera. It was later drawn into the unified Maba tribe during the Age of Movement, where it offered its people to the Maba war effort for two millennia. In 3550 BOG it was captured by the Sola tribe, which held it for a thousand years, until 2512 BOG.

In one of its few major faux pas, the Red Ring Pact of 2512 BOG formalised Onao's membership in the Solan Territory. The decision to place it in the Solan Territory rather than Maba was met with great outrage within its borders as well as within Maba.

Culturally incongruent with the rest of the Solan Territory and operating under its own governance, its people were constantly clamouring for independence, but it was not until the year 1595 BOG that Onao finally received external support from the previously conflict-wary Maba, and seceded. The civil unrest that ensued within Onao lasted for eighty-three years, with conflict taking place between the Solan authority and Onao belligerents aided by Maba.

As the civil war grew bloodier, the issue was brought to a Red Ring conclave in 1512 BOG, which had the Solan Territory's four other pentarchs agreeing to the Onao pentarch's terms of open trade in exchange for independence.

Onao continued to be the subject of Solan scrutiny for centuries longer, until it was itself dissolved.
