Krastomba

Krastomba was the largest independent nation within the House of Hantomba until it fought Hantomba and lost, becoming a vassal of Hantomba.

History
Krastomba was by far the most powerful nation in Tomba, and very much used this fact to its advantage. It conquered ten small nations in the First Krastomban Conquest in the year 133, including Anantomba, Gabotomba, and Nebtatomba. Then, in 149, shortly after signing an alliance with Costomba, they declared war on Goblotomba in the Second Krastomban Conquest. It succeeded, vassalizing Goblotomba as well as annexing several other nations along the border.

However, thanks to these conquests, relations with Hantomba deteriorated. The climax came in 165 with the Great Tomban War, when Hantomba finally personally intervened, with the help of Qanoyan thick-skinned beasts. Hantomba annexed an area of Krastomba equal to its old land area, and made the rest its vassal. As a vassal of Hantomba, it was forced to participate in the Dorroman-Qanoyan War in 191, signing a white peace alongside Hantomba.

Krastomba yet still kept up its rebellious tendencies, looking for opportunities for revenge against Hantomba. One of those finally occured in 208, when a spy from Dorromas, Artakan si Zytor, managed to infiltrate, with the aid of Krastomban officials, the royal library in Han and steal books detailing the early history of Tomba. They told of how Hantomba staged wars throughout Tomba to split city-states and seize the power, where they manipulated Krastomba by making them mad with the power given to them, and of how questioning the Tombasor was forbidden in order to keep this conspiracy under wraps.
