History

Kathmantu as a named entity has existed in some way shape or form since the first humans around the year 100. The region, known as the Kathma region, had been dominated by the Ketu people for hundreds of years, but its history is marked of ethnic diversity and tension.

Pre-unification

Before unification in 682, the border that outlined Kathmantu was maintained by the various tribes. The Harfala, Jzebkat, Komarlanian, Lushnu, Bezawitten, Padgali, and the North Antelanians all fought for influence over the border and what protected their tribes from destruction. Over time, the solidification of the eastern border became mutually recognized, but the fighting continued.

On the west coast, the city state of Toruse, a colony of the Torunian Empire was continually growing, influencing more and more Ketu people and spreading the Adasiatic language up the coast of the continent. The Antelanians adopted the language but were ethnically distinct from the Torunians.

Unification of the Ketu (667)

The 126 Ketu-speaking ethnic groups standardized their language and sought a future more consolidated and strategic than previous - seeing the destruction the ethnic tensions had been causing in the southern part of their territory.

Ketu-West Antelanian Treaty of 673

The Ketu formed an alliance with the West Antelanians to secure control over the continent and the war-ridden south and border regions.

Sacking of Toruse

The Ketu-West Antelanian alliance sacked the city state of Toruse in 682 and made their intentions clear to form the Kathmantu Conglomerate Empire with the Ketu people at the helm. The Ketu agreed to cede influence of the Torunians, Parkavid, and North Antelanians in the region to the West Antelanians.

Kathmantu Conglomerate Empire (682)

The empire was made up of many languages including Adasiatic, Ketu, Tali and Kathari. Harfal, Ontu, and Beza as minority languages. With Ketu as the dominant language, in modern day Kathmantu, the major minority language is Common Standard Ursha in its northern region.

The religions was predominantly Ketu Hahnbu and became Shakti Hahnbu. In some parts, Muhadism grew in the modern era but is predominantly isolated to the northern region.

Several conflicts with the Torunian Empire and their colony Torisinia, which bordered Kathmantu. Eventually they absorbed the colony until its independence as a nation in 0000.

Rise of Shakti Hahnbu

With the rise of the conglomerate empire, rose Shakti Hahnbu, a separate branch of Hahnbu that became practiced. Not much changed until 831, Varanasia rose to be an empire and Shakti Hahnbu became a very important distinction to the Kathma people.

Tribal Council

The Tribal Emperor was elected by the Tribal Council from eldest male child of one of the dominant Ketu families. THe Tribal Council was made up of representatives from various Ketu communities and served as the voting members of the council. Non-Ketu communities could sit on the council if they made agreements with the Emperor. This is how the Empire stifled some of the ethnic challenges and continual tribal wars, by allowing representation to those that complied with order.

The Emperor served a life-long term, often being selected as a teenager and serving until their children became of-age and could be put up as a candidate for the throne.

In the Ketu peoples tradition, boys became men thru various trials. Those trials became heavily influenced by the practice of Shakti Hahnbu and acknowledging the virtues of the religion.

People's Federal Republic of Kathmantu (1968)

Antelanian uprising (2009)

As the Kathma government began supporting the Zanzima genocide of the Harfala, refusal to shut down the trade clans and drug trafficking, along with other various government corruption, the ethnic West Antelanians in the coastal regions of Kathmantu began holding uprisings. They were being rufsed voting access and they sought independence.
