Tɔŋu & ASOGLI Gblɔeviawo
Three-Wing Battle Formation, a powerful symbol of ancient unity and strategy.

The Anlos moved as one people, guided by the singular authority of an Awomefa, a supreme monarch. Their strength was a constellation of thirteen allied paramountcies: Agave, Bakpa, Bato, Đơfì, Fievie, Fodzoku, Mafi, Mefe, Sokpoe, Tehe, Togome, Volo, and Vume.

But across the Volta River, a different spirit thrived among the Tōnu people. They occupied both banks of the great river, not as a single kingdom, but as a vibrant tapestry of thirteen independent paramountcies, each fiercely proud and self-governing. Their lands were a mosaic of names that echoed through the hills and valleys: Ho, Akoefe, Hodzo, Kpeijoe, Takla, Adaklu, Abutia, and many more.

From this broader Tōnu landscape, a core community emerged—the Asogli. Their story begins with the first five founding settlements that took root at Komedzrale, near where the Mobile Police Barracks in Ho now stand. These pioneers—Ho, Akoefe, Hodzo, Kpeijoe, and Takla—would later be joined by others, weaving together the Asogli identity.

And at the heart of this identity lies a founding figure: a revered elder and master blacksmith from Notsie in Togo named Gbloe Atia Akpos. Known as "Nutula" (the blacksmith), his skill with iron and fire was so legendary that his name became etched onto the people themselves. From him, all Asoglis, and the people of Ho especially, inherited the name Gbloeviawo—"the children of Gbloe."

His legacy was carried forward by his sons:
1. Akoe,who journeyed forth to found the settlement of Akoefe.
2. Aso,from whom a great line would continue.

This is a history forged in alliance, shaped by independence, and named for the fire of a blacksmith's forge.

Chapter 1: History.
Sokode & Doma People.
..how they do it there, in order to then inform him. When his messengers had returned, they told him everything they had seen there, and how it was done there. The Sokode people are now the in-laws of the Doma people.

Adzi Kuasi, as well as all following Doma kings, were bearers of the stool and treated it exactly as King Kucku in Sokode had done. They all went to the watering place, washed the stool there and then bathed themselves, slaughtered a sheep over the stool and then devoted themselves to play. The king bought enough schnapps, which they drank. On the day that suits the king, he usually buys a lot of schnapps. He calls the chiefs from Doma and those from Ahöe to him and says to them: "This is the schnapps for the throne, drink now and perform plays!" The chiefs drink with joy. Then the young men are called so that they may perform a play in honor of the throne.

STREET OF AHÓE 1850s. Vs Today
Chapter 1: History.
..they intended to take the man's wife, the young men of the Ahóe, who had hidden themselves along the way, came out and shot at the woman with an arrow. Shortly after she had moved into her husband's house, she died. Because of this, the Ahóe were driven out of Yeviebe.

The Ahóe do not possess a royal stool; however, their elders do participate in negotiations. They place a man as king at their head so that their prestige may be increased by this. The first man who enjoyed the honor of chieftaincy was called Abtöte or Dam. He was a very old man who had also come from Hogbe. When the Heer people gather somewhere for a festival, the Ahóe receive the lower hind leg of the animal slaughtered for the festival.^1

Street in Ahóe.
