Necentlal Tlakalaktli (concept)

When the Tlakalakans migrated into Rojihlat Mara, they initially attempted to reconstruct the ancient organization of their society. After brief wars with the native realms upon their mass-arrival, they established several cities across the region, and between those cities established a diplomatic union. Soon after its creation, this 'Tlakalakan Federation', or 'Necentlal Tlakalaktli' in the Tlaklakan tongue, was extended to include many native tribes, who struggled to adapt to this new political order.

Despite best attempts and mild interest, the Necentlal would face continual disaster and instability. The Tlakalakans blamed Axemati Tlakalaktli and their ancient curse as endless rebellions, royal assassinations, famines and fell omens plagued the polity, repeatedly bringing it to the brink of collapse. Despite earnest wishes for equal union where all rulers could work together in peace, the natives never trusted them. Seeing the foreigners as strange and alien, and their cities and settlements as even more so, the union struggled to reconcile the differences between the state structures of the Tlaklakan and the traditions of the local tribes. This, along with the general instability, resulted in repeated civil wars, in which the natives broke from the Necentlal to war with the Magi-Kings.

The Necentlal’s death followed wars with Ritualist and then Wardenite warlords. After centuries of struggle against Ritualism, the Magi-Kings agreed to ally against the Wardenites in return for suzerainty over Rojihlat Mara. Subsequent military disasters saw their Ritualist allies abandoning the region or joining the Wardenites, soon followed by a mass uprising by the Rojihlat natives. This Xihuetzi, or 'Downfall', would result in a mass-migration into the jungle of Cyrat, where the last ashes of the Necentlal would fade into history.
