Sustrasia
Sustrasia was a region of the Kingdom of Espatrasia which mainly covered western Schielderras, Bloeirra, and southeastern Sictellas. Ruled by the third son of chancellor Cardebrand of the Rembolois, Khloder, it was by far the most strategically well-positioned, but suffered from endemic raids by unpacified Cloriadmen raiders. Alongside his brother in Estrasia, Khloder would lead the attack on his elder brother and the capital of Espatrasia, securing the region. However, after unsuccessful guerilla conflict with his elder brother, he was forced to go on the defensive due to the collapse of Espatrasia in 1115.
Khloder caught a break when Oustrasia was conquered by Old Fraspika in 1121, but soon realized things in his nation were deteriorating. Due to the fall of Estrasia, Cloriadmen raids were becoming more frequent, and many of these raids were tacitly aided by his Cloraidmen subjects, who populated almost the entire nation besides the Sictellas and capital regions, which were disloyal due to Khloder having recently invaded them. In one particularly fierce raid led by the Triseni tribe, Khloder was slain, and the nation promptly disintegrated. Further raids would see the Cloriadmen loot the entirety of former Sustrasia, leaving it depopulated and devastated until Fraspika stepped in to enforce tributary payment and protect said tributaries, which the Fremedhian population of former Sustrasia happily accepted.
