Home to a primitive civilisation that has inhabited the area since before the time of formal record-keeping, the jungle is linked to the forest of [[Rheodad]] on the [[Ishana Peninsula]] atop northern [[Sapience]] through a strange curse. | ||
Under the watchful rule of King [[Martin (king)|Martin]] the Wise, Shala-Khulia was settled c. 1000 BF as a strategic outpost to serve [[Ashtan]] in the ongoing [[Ashtan-Shallam Wars]]. The northern isle was stripped of jungle growth and a city was built in its place at the foot of the Shala Mountains. Repeated skirmishes between the island's native groups and Ashtani soldiers forced a retreat, however, and the Khulians eventually moved into the structures that Ashtan had left behind. | Under the watchful rule of King [[Martin (king)|Martin]] the Wise, Shala-Khulia was settled c. 1000 BF as a strategic outpost to serve [[Ashtan]] in the ongoing [[Ashtan-Shallam Wars]].

From 490 AF{{--}}507 AF, Shala-Khulia was host to a series of devastating battles between [[Oakstone]] and [[Mhaldor]] that came to be known as the [[Crimson Wars]]. The resulting rebellions led to the overthrow of Chieftain [[Da'an]], a coup headed by the rebel leader [[Tu'liak]] on Phaestian 4, 491 AF. [[Tu'liak]] was crowned as the new head of the City of Shala-Khulia. Immediately following these events, the incarcerated Da'an was sacrificed atop the Khulian temple. | |||

Shala-Khulia is located in the southwestern ocean south of [[Polyargos]], off the coast of the [[Aalen Forest]]. It is accessible by a ferry located near the Aalen Forest manned by [[Nolan]] and by a ferry located on the island of Polyargos manned by [[Nate]]. The island contains three distinct areas: the Shala-Khulia city inhabited by native tribesmen, the Shala-Khulian jungle, and a series of caves within the jungle inhabited by a strange cave people known as the Khish. To return to the Aalen Forest, one must take the ferry from Shala-Khulia, manned by [[Natalie]]. | Shala-Khulia is located in the southwestern ocean south of [[Polyargos]], off the coast of the [[Aalen Forest]].
