Shortly before the Surrender of the mainland, the Arcturia territories of Kormistazm declared themselves to be a separate empire under the rule of former General Ñazj al-Qeeora. Originally from [[Maladh Al-Taajir]], Ñazj had lead a successful campaign to take over much of Morstaybishlia's Arcturian colonies during the war and was very popular amongst colonists and the fleeing elite. As the mainland capitulated he assumed total control as Lousquarii emperor as well as assuming protectorateship over his homeland from the now collapsed Kormistazm. Several cities on the South West tip of the mainland and the surrounding land were also incorporated into the Lousquarii empire to escape Morst occupation. Whilst stretching over vast swatches of land, the new empire faced instability as numerous parts of the empire revolted almost immediately. Ñazj was unwilling to spread his limited military capacity thinly in case of a naval invasion from Morstaybishlia, and thus several regions were granted freedom with little resistance, such as the agrarian region of [[Gratulto]] which became an independent duchy in 1576.

Several cities on the South West tip of the mainland and the surrounding land were also incorporated into the Lousquarii empire to escape Morst occupation. Whilst stretching over vast swatches of land, the new empire faced instability as numerous parts of the empire revolted almost immediately. Ñazj was unwilling to spread his limited military capacity thinly in case of a naval invasion from Morstaybishlia, and thus several regions were granted freedom with little resistance, such as the agrarian region of [[Gratulto]] which became an independent duchy in 1576. Efforts were instead concentrated on quelling revolt in the well developed core territory and those with significant wealth.
In 1578 Ñazj met with a delegation from Morstaybishlia to formalise a peace declaration, as the two had not yet officially ended the west Auroran crusades, and negotiate the borders between the empire on Arcturia. Still maintaining a relatively strong navy, Ñazj only offered the Lousquarii holdings on the mainland and refused the Morst demand for the return of New Calthia and Rodenia and Lokania. After failing to come to any kind of compromise, the Morst navy launched a surprise attack on Boscawen and clashed with the Lousquarii navy in the seas outside of the city. The Morstaybishlian's also landed on the far side of the island and rallied resistance against Lousquarii garrisons, successfully driving them from New Calthia by 1580. This defeat caused confidence in emperor Ñazj to waver in much of the Lousquarii merchant class, who had only just fled the mainland and feared the possibility of a Morstaybishlian occupation. However as Ñazj returned to Porto Idola from the lost battle he remained steadfast in his refusal of the Morst demands. Confidence in the emperor continued to decline, however, becoming critical in 1584 after the eastern regions of Rodenia fell to an uprising and became independent, after which Morstaybishlia re-established control. Ñazj was overthrown shortly afterwards, dying of hypothermia whilst imprisoned. He was succeeded by Lord Draughtsman Kayo Aurazzi, who acceded to Morstaybishlia's demands for their colonies in the Treaty of Porsloe in early 1586. After assuring peace, Kayo disestablished the imperial government and officially ended the Lousquarii empire. On the first of May 1586 he founded the republic of [[Quariin]], which remains independent to the present.
