===== Early Years =====
After mainland Kormistazm surrendered to Morstaybishlia and was formally annexed, the following years provided the empire with significant trouble asserting its control over its new land.
The death of Redrugus, however, was the spark for a number of significant problems.
Over the next half a century, efforts to pacify the population and accustom them to Morst rule were violent, involving sieges of rebellious cities and the destruction of crops and property. Many soldiers and civilians were brutalised and summarily executed. Human settlers in the North Lyr valley and South Corstania often fell victim to raids from cavan guerrilla forces, resulting in gruesome retributive attacks and collective punishments on cavan settlements in the area. Approximately 10-20% of the peninsula's total population perished by the turn of the century, primarily as a result of war-related famine, displacement and disease, and is considered a genocide against the Cava species. Organised, violent resistance to imperial rule never truly subsided until the death of king Lambertus V in 1621 and the ascension of Queen [[Florence I]]. The Queen set out to consolidate imperial control of the peninsula by uprooting the remaining Cavan nobility, quashing the autonomy of integrated provinces and bringing all persisting satellite regions to heel as loyal client states under the threat of razing. After this former Kormistazm was solely administered by Morstaybishlian Lords as a wholly subservient polity of the empire known as Axdelia.
===== Morstaybishlian Colonial era =====
After conquering Kormistazm and consolidating control over its vast mainland, Morstaybishlia began looking outwards from Aurora with the goal of overseas exploration, expanding trade and establishing new colonies. This was largely borne out of competition with other Auroran powers, who were also pursuing similar goals in Arcturia and the [[Cerenerian Ocean|Cerenarian ocean]].
