Maritime Raj

After the fall of the Mahameghavahana Empire in 101 CE, the islands that once thrived under its rule were left in disarray. The absence of a central authority unleashed chaos as villages, pirates, and opportunistic factions vied for control. The ensuing half-century became a tumultuous era of uncertainty, marked by the rise and fall of fledgling island states.

# Chaos

The once-prosperous territories became battlegrounds as villages fought for resources, pirates sought dominance, and power-hungry leaders emerged only to meet swift demise. The islands were engulfed in a never-ending cycle of destruction as each attempt at establishing a stable rule crumbled amid internal strife and external threats.

# Pirates' Dominion

Amid the chaos, a coalition of cunning pirates rose to dominance, seizing control of key trade routes and establishing their lawless dominion. Villages were subjugated, and an uneasy order prevailed under the pirate captains' rule. The south islands and the vast desert of Australia became the Empire of The Pirates.

# The Rebellion of Kantoli

About 383 CE, In the north, a spark of resistance flared into rebellion. The oppressed villagers and disenfranchised leaders coalesced under the banner of a man that became a legend known as Kantoli, seeking to reclaim their autonomy. The rebellion gained momentum, attracting followers disillusioned by the pirates' oppressive reign.

Faced with the rising tide of Kantoli, the pirate captains found their hold on power slipping away. In a desperate bid for survival, they fled southward, seeking refuge in the scattered islands and the uncharted desolation of Australia.

The Kantoli's rebellion resonated through the archipelago, forging a united front against the remnants of pirate rule and laying the foundation for a new era in the region.
