Featured Country*This Country is a **High-Quality Article** which got it featured on Map RP Wiki. If you made that nation then be proud of yourself.*
*"Kerbalistan, chaotic breed of a country, it has conflicts and civil wars day after days and after days. Even tho 60% of the country transferred to Capanillea, 37% still stands with Islam which Kerbali practiced in the past. 3% also still practice Old Pagan Religions. Civil wars are often used by other nations to take advantage and make their influence in the region bigger, currently Kerbalistan is at peace, but knowing the history, this nation will plunge itself into a civil war in 2 or 3 years."*

## History

### Before Tamás (up to ~850)

Kerbali people lived in Northeast Corner of Meitria for a long time, in the process they created their own alphabet.

### Kerbal (~625-655)

Kerbal is a legendary cheif of Kerbali tribes who ruled during mid-VII Century. His greatest achivement is converting the nation to Islam from the old pagan beliefs. It's also known he was likely born during late VI Century and died when he was still in power.

### Tóth I (~755-805)

Tóth I is yet another legendary ruler of Kerbali people. It's presumed he is a great-great-great grandson of Kerbal. He reformed the tribe turning it into a High Chefdom. Like Kerbal it's presumed he died when he was still in power, an event which likely occured at early IX Century.

### Tamás (~850-895)

Tamás was born around ~835 and took over 15-20 years later. When he was still young, Tamás displayed serious skill in martial combats, hence why he might have been elected. His status as a *"Warrior"* would come to the test as to Kerbalis had to start migrate to the west, simply put, the territory they occupied (South Windowsland) started being inhospitable, Migrations started around ~865 AC. This eventually Culminatined in Failed Vivajanger raid and collapse of Chacya of 874 AC. Both Countries soon recovered and started Goman Leauge, a defensive pact which stopped their advances. In 892 war broke out with with Republic of Corda, Battle of Meiram in 895 was hailed as a great victory, Tamás showed his bravery here, to the point where he lost his own life. He is presumed to be Tóth's great-grandson.

### Flórián I (895-915)

After heroic death of his father, Flórián I took over and Kerbali people after years of conflict. settled down in Western Meirtia, when he gathered enough money he crowned himself King, he did not crown himself as a Sultan due to unknown reasons but there is a theory that he planned to eventually convert to Capanillea, a deed commited later by him son. His rule went smoothly and there wasn't anything major of note, until he died in 915, at the age of 54.

### Flórián II the Martyr (915-943)

Flórián II's rule was similar to his father's, only exception was starting from 920's, Capanillean Priests were sent to country to make it another Capanillean Nation, by 930 they managed to Convert South of the nation to Capanillea which caused Flórián II to give in 6 years later and convert to Capanillea, after that Most of Population was angered and plots to murder him were created, one of them was succesful and Flórián II died in 943 at the age of 47, he was named a Martyr soon after.

### Flórián III (943-952)

Flórián III was young and brave, he was only 16 years old when he ascended to the throne so he wasn't experiened. In his short 9 Year Old rule he failed many times to bring peace, in 946 a Civil War Broke out in which he fought bravely, unluckily for him Rácz Imre won and became king. Corodenian Parilament helped him escape to Republic of Corda in which he lived for the rest of his life. He died in 998 at the age of 71, unable to return back to Kerbalistan.

### Rácz I Great (952-1001)

Rácz Imre won and was crowned the king, we was a ruthless but also a just ruler meaning he would punish everyone equally. His first major conflict was a civil war against Flórián III who wanted his crown back, it ended in white peace resulting in no change. A pagan revolt broke in 972, which failed, because he started persecuting both Pagans and Capanilleans. Later he crushed many protest revolts etc.: A Anonymous Corodenian Chronicler wrote in 998 this about him:

*"Rácz is a type of earferanan that is unheard of, at the age of 83 he behaves like he is 50 years younger, his cruelty and equal treatment of prisoners earned respect from people not only in Kerbalistan but in other countries, mainly Baconia, according to Kerbali locals they feel safe because of him. I don't know if any of this is true, though he has defeated many rebelions. If Corda had a ruler like him every problem haunting the nation would be gone, but we have those corrupt republicans who only take bribes."*

He died of old age in 1001, he was 86 when he died.

### Tóth II Possesed (1001-1023)

He was 59 when he took power, Older than Flórián I and II when they died and he was already a grandpa. His rule was similar to his father's rule but he wasn't as respected as his father. In Late 1010s he was apperarently possesed by some supernatural being, this lead to many intresting situations namely, he wanted to declare War on Corda because he thought were behind the murder of his brother, Prince Rácz the Just, in reality he died due to old age. Due to this his son, Orbán had to forcefully take power from him, he was a regent in 1020-1022 when he died due to smallpox. His dead once again angered the madman Tóth who once again wanted to declare war on corda, his Grandson, Miksa the Brave once again took power from him and was a regent until his grandpa died in 1023. When he died, he was 81.

### Miksa the Brave (1023-1030)

Miksa soon after taking power found himself in hot water with Capanilleans, seeing what Tóth did they wanted to rebel, and when Miksa took over they were step from declaring rebbelion, only thing that stopped them was for their allies (Corda and Meownia) to get ready for conflict. Conflict broke out in 1028 AD and ended in 1030, even though Miksa lost his crown he was remembered for his bravery during battles. Miksa later died in 1045, probably due to a assassination plot made by Pagans.

### Flórián IV (1030-1054)

In 1030 AC Corodenio-Meownian Front Put back Tamás Dynasty to throne, this time they did not put any of Flórián III's male descendants but another Flórián who was a great-grandson of Flórián II, he ruled for 24 years dying in 1054, he was 49 in 1030. His rule was mostly peaceful and he mostly focued on farming industry and improving relations with Goman States hostile to Corda. He died in 1054 as a 73 year old due to a unspecified type of cancer.

### Király the Cruel (1054-1081)

His son Király inherited the throne, he was 41 at the time, his rule was polar opposite of his father's, Király was a very cruel person, jailing people for a long time for something small and stupid. Allegedly, even the most die-hard Capanilleans preffered a muslim ruler and as a result a revolt broke out in 1075, he was poisoned in 1081 paving away Muslim Victory

### Farkas (1081-1082)

Farkas was a son of Király, during his rule nothing really was acheived as he ruled for less than a year, he was born in 1044 and is still alive, but will most likely not claim Kerbali throne due to his age and medical conditions, one of his 3 sons will.

### László (1082-1086)

László is a son of Miksa "the Brave", he was born in 1028. During his rule he tried to rebuild Kerbalistan from the war but another civil war broke out in 1085, when he was in a camp with his soliders near Meiram he got smallpox and died a year later to it. He was 57 when he died.

### Rácz II Diplomat (1086-Today)

Rácz II was a son of László, his role in 5th War of Succesion was small, he only promoted army leaders and told them where to attack, he managed to win with a small margin. After that he wanted to rebuild the country, like his father wanted to but the topic of religious rights got hot and it turned into a civil war in 1092 which ended in 1096 due to Rácz diplomatically evading the war, he gave small rights to religious minorites after the war.

Currently he focuses on re-construction of Kerbalistan as most of it was in ruins following the 3 wars after 1075.
