And what does 'process of political integration' mean to you? When King Orios died without an heir, a bunch of Tarshites tried to re-establish the Tarshite Kingdom. Unfortunately for Tarsh, they were their own worst enemies and the 'process' turned out to be civil war. I believe something similar happened in Malkioni Fronela. I think it's covered up by most Loskalmi as they have had quite a few bitter disputes in the more recent past.

And IMO this would be a good description of Malkioni Fronela in the years 385 to 650 ST (when Akem dissolves and Pomons joins Loskalm). Of course there were quite a few nasty wars along the way.
