## Name

*Main article: Names of Allang*
The city was officially renamed to "Allang" in 1948, when the country officially became independent. The name literally means "capital of peace" and was the name given to the city by Sokhor Shingkhor when he conquered the island and later established the Empire of the Straits. Under the Danish colonization of Quelpart, the name was corrupted to just "Lang" through elision of the /a/. By the 18th century, the city was commonly referred to as "Langsborg" with addition of the suffix *-borg*, meaning "castle". It is unclear whether the castle in question was the walled Palace of the Khans complex at the heart of the city or Fort San Antonio de Padua to the north, but regardless through synecdoche the name for the castle was given to the city as a whole. The city would officially be named to Langsborg in 1801.

### Ten Clans

The *Chronicles of the Kings* states that according to Quelpartian legend, the area where Allang is was inhabited for at least two hundred years before the arrival of the Chinese. It was known as 㯟浦富 (Old Chinese: \*[r]ˤok pʰˤaʔ pək-s), which literally means "wealthy river bank at the wooded foot of a mountain" but could be a transcription of \*Rot-a-Buabuə, Proto-Quelpartian for "northern shore". The majority of buildings were either along the coast or along the and was the capital of the CLAN CLAN. The majority of buildings were near the coast or along the Tseng Han River.

### Wokou

When Sokhor Shingkhor conquered the island, he renamed the city to Allang, meaning "capital of peace". He expanded the Palace of the Phoenix King, constructing a large hall named the Palace of the Khans. It served as the main administrative building of the Empire of the Straits.

### Portuguese period

After the Portuguese seized control of the island, soldiers looted the Palace of the Khans and attempted to burn it down, but the fire did not spread. The newly appointed Governor, Jorge Gusmão, ordered that the Palace would be preserved, as it was a symbol of legitimacy in the eyes of the locals, and that it would be used as an administrative building. Most items looted from the Palace were to be returned, though some were allowed to be kept by the soldiers.

Allang would be greatly developed under the Portuguese. Fort San Antonio de Padua would be constructed to the north of the Palace of the Khans, while the Temple of the Suns was destroyed and replaced by a church now known as the Allang Old Church. It, itself, would later be eclipsed by the Cathedral of Our Lady, Star of the Sea in 16XX. Meanwhile, many dilapidated buildings were torn down to build new European-style buildings, though areas in good condition were generally spared. The port itself was expanded with a new quay; in addition, a large star bastion, Fort Stella Maris, was constructed at its entrance to protect it.
