Zabishi was formed with the fall of the Dalaxian empire. King Pallus, the Fratricidal King, last Ruler of the Dalaxian Empire was executed in front of all of Zabishi after a long war of independence. This place was where the first free people and first King of Leonia, Barakos, settled and began to develop their country. Until the ascension of the Giant King the city was still only home to Leonins and Tabaxi, while all the other races of Leonia were in separate settlements with their own chieftains leading the. Following the great giant war Tulumak became the King of Leonia and called upon his newly created alliance to rebuild the city in an image of harmony between all races of Leonia.
