Over the course of the 14th and 15th centuries, Auravas would extensively explore and revive trade in the areas around it, constantly pushing farther and farther into uncharted or poorly mapped territory. In 1395, admiral Nakaz Sivprasra led a large expedition along the western coast of Gondwana, reaching the Sultanate of Sayyed, bringing back large quantities of jewelry and Sayqidi literature. Further contact between the two civilizations would be established in the coming decades, with a number of trade-focused treaties being organized between the states, giving Auravasi merchants a near monopoly in Cerenerian Southwest Gondwanan trade.

With the resurgence of Auravasi power in the 1300s, repossessing and expanding its former hold on trade was made a priority. In 1385, following a large scale naval engagement, perhaps the largest Southern Gondwana had seen in centuries, Auravas retook the city. Unsatisfied with just the port city, Auravas then engaged in a large scale colonization campaign on the southern coast of the Floosian strait. This expansion turned many of the native groups against the Auravasi and led to coordinated attacks on the colonies, which the colonial forces frequently returned in kind. By the mid-1400s, Auravas had control of the general territory of modern day Joralesia.
With the resurgence of Auravasi power in the 1300s, repossessing and expanding its former hold on trade was made a priority. In the centuries since its independence, Sevnik had continued to function as a trade nexus, building up a substantial naval force to defend against pirates and empires. In 1385, an advance force of Auravasi ships was repelled by the bulk of the Sevnik navy off the coast of the mainland, but it was followed by a more substantial fleet that engaged and decisively defeated the Sevnik navy. With the resistance destroyed, the Auravasi force was able to sail into the Sevnik harbor, taking the city with the help of an overland force. The next few decades would see a number of new Auravasi settlements across the northern coast of Hayaneste. While the former governors of the city-state of Sevnik were disinterested in further expansion on the island and maintained cordial relations with the native Hlenderian people for trading and defense purposes, the new Auravasi settlements would rapidly grow and begin to settle deeper into the island. This expansion incurred resistance from many of the native groups, who led coordinated attacks on the colonies, which the colonial forces frequently returned in kind. By the mid-1400s, Auravas had control of the general territory of modern day Joralesia.
