History

Settlement

New Kanbon, a colonial nation situated on the continent of Isrudi, emerged as a prominent settlement during the height of the First Kanbonese Kingdom around 700PL. This historical period witnessed a significant influx of colonists who ventured to various coastal regions, where they established thriving cities that continue to endure through the passage of time.

In a significant development around 800PL, the Kanbonese crown, recognizing the strategic importance of New Kanbon, appointed a viceroy to oversee the region. This viceroy assumed the responsibility of representing and safeguarding the interests of the Kanbonese crown in this burgeoning colony, effectively establishing a direct link between the colonial administration and the reigning monarch.

However, the influence exerted by the Kanbonese crown over New Kanbon during this era was notably limited due to the absence of advanced maritime technologies. The absence of such innovations resulted in extended travel times, impeding effective communication and governance between the colonial authorities and the motherland. Consequently, the Kanbonese yoke was considerably weakened, providing a certain degree of autonomy to the inhabitants of New Kanbon during this phase of its history.

Decline and fragmentation

In the year 1010PL, the First Kanbonese Kingdom succumbed to the onslaught of invading forces, resulting in a profound shift in the political landscape. With the fall of the kingdom, the influential patronage of the crown, which had hitherto provided crucial support to the colonists, was abruptly terminated. Consequently, the inhabitants of New Kanbon found themselves bereft of the protective shield that the crown had afforded them, leaving them vulnerable and exposed to external threats.

During this period of upheaval, the rise of the Third Gehani Empire brought about significant territorial changes and power shifts in the region. The ascendancy of the empire forced numerous Khotar tribes to relocate southeastward, seeking refuge from the encroaching forces. Many of these displaced tribes migrated to Kanbonese lands, instigating the destruction of numerous villages that previously dotted the landscape.

The culmination of these turbulent events manifested in the disintegration of New Kanbonese authority by the year 1250PL. The once-unified nation fractured into autonomous city-states, each compelled to fend for itself amidst the chaotic aftermath of political collapse.

Subsequently, the Khotar peoples persisted in their march and continued to invade the remaining Kanbonese city-states. Notably, the coastal regions remained the sole bastion under Kanbonese control, as the inhabitants valiantly defended their territories against the encroaching forces, seeking to preserve the last vestiges of their waning authority.

Reconquest

In the annals of history, a momentous event unfolded in the year 1677 PL with the establishment of the Second Kingdom of Kanbon. This auspicious development proved to be a catalyst for the flourishing of Kanbon, as it opened up new avenues for commerce and trade. Consequently, an influx of Kanbonese merchants traversed the vast expanse of Isrudi, forging connections with the indigenous Isrudi Kanbonese population.

Initially, the process of resettlement transpired in an informal manner, with sporadic efforts by individuals seeking to establish new homes and businesses in Isrudi. However, a paradigm shift occurred around 1900 PL when the Kanbonese government initiated an ambitious campaign of mass conquest. Recognizing the strategic importance of the region, the Kanbonese administration appointed a Viceroy to spearhead these endeavors. Swiftly, numerous Kanbonese cities in Isrudi elected to join the newly formed political entity known as the Viceroyalty of New Kanbon, driven by the desire for protection against the encroaching Khotar invaders.

This formidable Viceroyalty of New Kanbon possessed remarkable military prowess and harnessed the superiority of Maipelan technology to conquer vast expanses of Khotar lands. The rapid expansion of this burgeoning power continued unabated until approximately 2150 PL, as it absorbed territories and assimilated disparate populations into its fold.

The Civil War

A succession crisis in Kanbon caused the breakdown of royal legitimacy in New Kanbon. As a consequence, many provinces declared their independence. In 2222 PL, New Kanbon was slowly reconquered through both military power and negotiation. This was the originator of the current New Kanbon political structure.
