The Tavari Unification Wars were not, generally speaking, a conflict between "east" and "west," though it was true that the forces of the Nuvo chiefs generally moved northward and westward (as they existed as the southwesterly southeastern-most Tavari clan). Modern historians generally characterize the Unification Wars as partly borne of a need to build power to resist encroaching [[Ni-Rao|Raonites]] who had begun naval raids of southwestern Tavari shores and partly borne from a desire to expand their tax and revenue base as the silver mines that had been the primary source of their wealth began to be depleted. While King Utor I, who finally unified the chiefs in 1304, was staunchly religious and codified the ''[[Tavaris#Ancestral Veneration|Tavat Avati]]'', he personally never publicly or (as far as is known) privately protested against the unique religious traditions of the west. It was not until later, especially during the reigns of King Vonar I (1479-1490) and Zaram I (1490-1496) after the emergence of Akronism proper, that violence broke out among and between Tavari clans for the specific reason of suppressing religious beliefs. This outright inter-religious violence faded during the reign of Kanor the Great (1496-1519) and, with some exceptions, especially in the mid-20th and early-21st centuries, remained rare afterward.
