A short historical frame

From Adanse to Kyebi

Okyeman history is commonly narrated through the Asona migration from Adanse, the formation of Akyem Abuakwa and the establishment of Kyebi as the traditional capital. The sequence is preserved here as a research frame, not a substitute for the official palace register.
