Konawe

Konawe was a Tolaki kingdom on southeastern Sulawesi, ruled by kings called Mokole. Its founder is said to have been Wekoila, who first ruled from Olo-oloho on the Konoweha River; the court later moved to Unaaha.

Under Mokole Tebawo, Konawe reached Kendari and was divided into four regions, with a seven-member cabinet. Islam reached the kingdom in the 1500s; Buton's envoy La Embo urged Mokole Melamba to convert, without success. Lakidende later accepted Islam and invited La Ode Teke from Buton to teach it.
