History
The ancestral Okriti Lowlanders arrived on Okrit around 1800 TT, settling initially on the Omolai and western Onomat before migrating further inland on the Onomat and Waaq and interacting with the various peoples already present. Prior to lowlander settlement Waaq was inhabited by a civilization to the Taaqbal as the Saabeg, who had until then had maintained a thriving society with great scientific, philosophical and technological advancements. However at some point during the early 20th century TT, shortly before Lowlander populations began to arrive, Saabeg society entered a point of intra-cultural conflict as two emergent spiritualist factions, the 'many hands' and 'many faces' began to violently oppose each other. Ancestral lowlanders entering this conflict, while retaining cultural similarities with each other and the shared aspects of the newly encountered culture, were nonetheless absorbed into the bilateral conflict, causing the ethnogenesis of the Taaqbal and Efiyye and the resulting inter-generational rivalry between them. Despite this, both have maintained continued contact and cultural and linguistic ties are nonetheless apparent.
After the collapse of the Saabeg civilization the Taaqbal lived primarily pastoral lives on the Northern coasts of Waaq. Though there was most likely a period of great disengagement with mining and metalworking from the periods of 1500 - 1300 TT, the increasing expansion of the Ukubian empire raised the value of metal goods to the point where the Taaqba re-engaged with metalworking and other material crafts in a period often called the 'Taaqba renaissance'. This period saw the formation of the first Taaqba polities , city states known as Hiimu, which would thrive on craftwork industries and the developing regional styles.
