==== Empire Building ====
Auravas emerged from the Silvist Conflicts a far more militaristic and centralized state than it entered it, the territories gained during the Succession war now firmly under control of the monarch. Auravas significantly built up its naval forces, the power of which had declined during the Era of Liesvozia, and significant interest in the pre-Liesvozian era of Auravas emerged, partially due to its powerful presence, particularly on the seas, and this interest quickly expanded to other elements Pre-Liesvozian Auravas, such as architecture and painting, creating a rebirth of the peak of Auravasi culture. The novel ''The Voyages'', written in 1344 by Oras Ratisk and chronicling the journeys of an early 9th century Auravasi navigator, is regarded as a key work of Auravasi literature and has contributed greatly to the modern understanding of both the evolution of the Auravasi language as well as Auravasi views of previous eras during the time period.
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.
