The location of the region is mentioned in detail in the Message of Sole, Book 3. Despite the word "Mahogany" being used only once in Sole scripture (3:10), the location was sought after by devout fundamentalists and intrigued secular readers; culminating in the expedition to find and reach the land in 5 [[Crops' calendar|AC]].
 
Even since before the state's foundation, no other sovereign state hashad claimed or settled in Mahogany, makingwhich made it one of the most isolated regions on Alathra.
 
=== History of Statehood ===
Mahogany was formally founded in 5 AC by a group of devout practitioners from Kuthara after—according to folklore—having claimed to have seen and been blocked by the Silver Ivory Beast in the greater jungle, central Omis.

After being mapped, the group returned back to Kuthara to motivate the rest of the followers of Sole to immigrate to the region. It's canopy bridge and first set of canals were completed in 6 AC.
 
In the winter of that year, a power struggle ensued between the Kutharan majority and the pre-established College of Mesoah, a fundamentalist group of Sole-scholar elites. After the Kutharan autocracy was pressured to abdicate, ''Mesoah's College'' became the de-facto ruling body ever since, implementing a wide variety of religiously inspired laws.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/769211588988502047/774108752818470953/1137557492029730877 August 5 2023, Lore-worldbuilding, 5th Paragraph.</ref>
