 * Events:
 * Ascension of Pinó of Chet: When Yavanhet Sáa’seke died around 800 AD, he declared his beloved daughter Pinó as heir to the Jahluhet throne. However, the Council of Elders shot down his decision, as Pinó was an illegitimate bastard, instead choosing one of her half-brothers, Keikán, as the Yavanhet. Keikán was lazy decadent, and incapable, preferring partying, wealth, and prostitutes instead of governing the nation. Thus, the commoners grew to resent him, and suffered from governmental neglect. However, the ambitious, smart, and cunning Pinó had not been idle while this was going on. After being disqualified for the throne, she escaped to her hometown of Chet, on the northern frontier, and quickly gained a huge following in the area, specifically by the poor and the Charrua minority, who were suffering the most under Keikán’s rule. By 807 AD, she had gained near-total control over the northern regions of Jahluhet territory, and amassed a formidable army. After a few battles and a 4 month siege, Pinó captured Jahseh, and usurped the throne. By late 910 AD, order had been restored to the country, with Pinó of Chet having defeated all remaining noble rebels and consolidated control over the entire country.
 * The Great Understanding and the Confederacy of Jahseh: As part of her agreement with the Charrua after taking the Jahluhet throne, Pinó of Chet would stop unfair treatment of the Charrua minority, and allow the Charrua to have a say in government matters. Pinó achieved this by recreating the Council of Elders she earlier dissolved as the Council of Nations, where Taluhet and Charrua representatives would have equal representation (somewhat similar to the governmental structure of the Iroquois Confederacy in North America, leading some historians to call the Jahluhets the “Iroquois of South America”.). This event, known as the Great Understanding, would be one of the most significant events of Jahluhet history, as it effectively established the framework for the Confederacy of Jahseh, and transitioned the Jahluhets from a series of loosely connected clans ruled despotically by an authoritarian ruler with no real government framework save for the power of brute force, into a more refined and centralized government with clear rules and laws; effectively transitioning the Jahluhets from a nation into a state. Over the years, other tribes and ethnicities would join the Taluhet and the Charrua in the Council of Nations, and the Confederacy of Jahseh and its political system would stay more or less intact until European contact.
 * Rule of Pinó of Chet: Pinó of Chet was considered one of the greatest leaders of pre-Columbian America. During her reign, the people experienced prosperity, and general standards of living improved. She was generally a just and benevolent ruler, and made sure the country was a safe place where the people could prosper. However, Pinó also ruled with an iron fist. Any rebellions or protests would be put down with violent action, and she hunted and assassinated all who could possibly oppose her rule, including every single one of her brothers, and much of the Jahluhet nobility. For this reason, Pinó has the overwhelming support of the commonfolk, while the aristocracy despised her.
 * Expansion: Expansion into surrounding areas continues, with the town of Pe’ikónéh founded at OTL Santa Fe, Argentina.
