History

Valleres has a large indigenous population dating back to the Pimya and Calahuang ethnic groups. Pimya in the southern and western regions and the Calahuang in the north. The wealthier Kamjanaian Kingdom subjugated Pimya around 600 CE due to superior technology; they allowed the Pimyaian establishment to maintain their traditional practices and language in exchange for tribute. Eventually, however, as the Great War of Faith continued in the 1000s and the collapse of the Kamjanaian Kingdom, Pimya and Calahuang were established as farming kingdoms. Calahuang, being a Minjian state from the 1070s onward, and Pimya, being an animist state. Pimya conquered the nearby Tedaya in 1210, a scene depicted in the famous "Conquering of Tedaya," a painting displayed in the National Gallery of Slokais and one of the best examples of indigenous wall art.
