History
Post-Collapse
After the collapse of the Bosso Empire, the former province of Eshinku became the nation of Bosso-Afa, named after the ruling Afa dynasty of provincial rulers (ajumboyas), and joined the struggle among the other Bosso nations to reunite and continue the Bosso Empire under their own respective dynasties. The power struggle among the Bosso nations soon became the catalyst for the Bosso Succession War in 2530 CY, a three-way conflict among Bosso-Kafue, Bosso-Muadu, and Bosso-Afa after the invasion and conquest of Bosso-Luakor by Bosso-Muadu. The war continued for five years until peace was officially declared via the Kàri-Jąkhą treaty in 2535 CY, which moreover unified the four Bosso nations as the Khobeh Confederation. Initially, the Khobeh Confederation was not only successful in peacefully uniting the nations, but also thrived greatly as to match the same cultural prestige of the previous Bosso Empire. However, tribalist sentiments within the Confederation caused the same power struggles that afflicted the region nearly a century before to rise again during the early to mid 2600s CY. Small skirmishes between tribalist groups and armies culminated into larger conflicts involving entire nations of the Confederation, comprising the Khobehi Civil War. In 2677 CY, while the civil war still transpired, Mboya Kundundon Afa declared the secession of Afa from the Confederation.
