Samhatèpaya (concept)
The Samhatèpaya, or "Great Landing" in the tongue of the Hmacèak, refers to their arrival and subsequent invasion of Southern Rojihlat Mara at the beginning of the 9th Century. While normally difficult to conquer due to their knowledge of the terrain and their own tenacity, the native Mtuwê have been recently weakened by the events of the Thû Usiktwě, which decimated much of their population. The Hmacèak were able to easily defeat the Mtuwê forces, cementing their control over the various tribes of the South.
