==== Kormistazic expansionism (532 BCE - 1st century CE) ====
Upon Enullus' ascention to the position of Kormistazic emperor, he began a campaign of Northward expansion, incorporating the regions small kingdoms and chiefdoms under his rule. Naval advances brought forth in earlier centuries now allowed faster and easier navigation of the Axdelian peninsular riverways, but the slow burn of conflict that had degraded the strength of many kingdoms meant that much of it could not be used without the risk of falling prey to opportunistic pirates. Thus as the Kormistazic empire used these rivers to assert themselves across the southern plains and valleys these pirates were vanquished, allowing for ease of movement and earning the loyalty of many local leaders peacefully. With his children being unwilling to take the throne, Ennullus was succeeded by his General, Avilo Kariqo Kalamitas in 485 BCE. Worried the Kveshi would percieve the new empire as a rival, Kariqo expanded Kormistazic control over the southern coast of the Axdelian peninsula. Many settlements followed Kozam already, and so incorporating them within the empire remained a predominantly peaceful affair. As the empires border expanded, so did it's power and thus its ability to expand further, leading to increasingly aggressive acts. The Empires first major military victory would come after the Kassyr Chiefdom declared war on the empire in 458 BCE. This came in response to repeated incursions of Kormistazic soldiers into Kassyri territory and several pleas to cease the actions were ignored. The [[South Teban War|First Kassyri Integral War]] lasted for over five years but resulted in a crushing defeat for The Kassyr who were forced to ceded all of their holdings outside of the Mona river valley to Kormistazm. However, Avilo was injured during the war and survived only six months before succumbing to an infection, and was succeeded by his daughter Meya Jala Kalamitas, becoming the first Kormistazic Empress.
By this point, the empires in the north were weak and stagnant. Still recovering from the century long conflict that ravaged them after the environmental fallout of the Koriba eruption. The exception to this was the Neo-Soltic kingdom, which now dominated much of the land north of the Teba mountains. However the once mighty Teba empire had struggled with a dwindling population and weak leadership for decades. In 447 BCE Teban Emperor Cerules II, famously visited the recently incorporated
After the rapid pace of expansion in the first half of the century that saw unprecedented expansion that stretched the imperial bureaucracy to its limits, the sovereigns following Meya focused their attention on domestic concerns that led to helpful reforms to the empires government structure. The mostly disorganised territory that had been incorporated at this point also required attention to ensure its full integration. Among other things the empires provinces were reorganised and large scale public works were authorised to support the growing capital city, which was from this point forwards slowly began being referred to as simply Sekan rather than Sekan-Aruqa.
