 Antemoro "ombiasy" (astrologer sages) migrated throughout the island, where they practiced their arts for local communities, served as advisers to kings, and even founded new principalities.This Antemoro mobility and their creation of a network of powerful spiritual advisers across the island is credited with forcing an awareness among Malagasy of communities beyond their own and sparking a sense of a common Malagasy identity.The Antemoro kingdom was disbanded in the late 19th century following an uprising of the Antemoro commoners against the noble class.
