==== Maritime Expansion ====
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
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.
Following the Auravasi-Liesvozian Wars and during the Era of Liesvozia, Auravas was unable to maintain a hold on Sevnik, and the city had transformed into a practically independent city-state with a mercantile upper class and powerful navy. 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.
