The last nobles and people of the fallen [[Majapahit]] fled to [[Bali]]. Islam spread from northern cities in Java where many [[Muslim]] traders from [[Gujarat]], India stopped by. The eastern part of East Java, from Surabaya to Pasuruan, and the cities along the coast, and back to Banyuwangi to Jember, are known as the [[Eastern salient of Java|eastern salient]], or "''Kawasan Tapal Kuda''" (the Horseshoe Region).
