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 rise of Auravasi maritime power in the 14th and 15th centuries, Auravas having reestablished itself as a regional great power by 1500, the country saw a sharp increase in wealth and prosperity, triggering a high period of Auravasi art and religion, as well as science and political theory to an extent, that would last from mid 16th to mid 17th centuries.
The Auravasi art form of Avente Art, arising in the mid evolved as a reaction against the grandeur of the Tahyan art style that had characterized the previous centuries, emphasizing naturalistic portrayals of the everyday man, though Tahyan art persisted in a limited form known as Late Tayhan due to the patronage of a select few nobles. Theater and similar entertainment groups gained great prominence, with a particular focus on the tragedy and the comedy, through other genres did gain some prominence. It is in this era that famous playwrights such as Ekru Potnasa composed their plays.
With the introduction of the printing press, the production of literature soared due to the support of King Kasri "The Enlightened", a major proponent of literacy and considered one of the most important monarchs to Auravasi cultural history. This combination of literacy and patronage transformed Uravin into a center of book production and anchored Auravas as a key link in the book trade. An incredibly diverse array of works was printed in Auravas, with accurate translations of ancient Auravasi texts becoming very widespread, and many texts by the cultures Auravas encountered through its extensive trade networks found their way to the printing presses of Uravin. Auravasi domestic literature reached new heights in prominence and diversity, with many key figures of the Auravasi classics working during this period. This extremely open approach to printing and production would be one of the driving factors behind the scientific and religious changes which would occur later into the period.
The Auravasi philosophies and sciences also grew to great prominence during this period. King Kasri was also a major sponsor of education, and an in-depth school and university system quickly took root in the country. Due to the prominence and relative freedom of the printing industry in Auravas, the ideas of many Auravasi philosophers and scientists rapidly spread throughout the country, alongside works by other philosophers and scientists who had immigrated to Auravas for these reasons. The philosophical breakthroughs of this period focused on numerous subfields, from politics to religion, and many works would set the foundations for the intellectual revolution. The Auravasi sciences also prospered in numerous fields such as astronomy, engineering, mathematics, biology, and physics.
