These migrants in turn devastated the existing Jeongmic population of the island, heavily depopulating western Yedal. The Nukic peoples on Yedal came to be known as the Nabei and set up multiple small, independent polities that regularly competed and fought with one another. In 1065 a powerful lord by the name of X was crowned King of Nabei by a descendant of the last dynasty of Cheonje. He quickly subjugated many of the existing Nabei polities on the western side of the island.
